I still have hope, though, that it will get better. There were even a couple of parts that frustrated me. This series is just not impressing me at the moment. In Chuang Yi's English-language versions of Fushigi Yugi (spelled without a macron or circumflex), her name is romanized as 'Yu Watase'. Her name is romanized as 'Yû Watase' in earlier printings of Viz Media's publications of Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, and Ceres, The Celestial Legend, while in Viz Media's Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend her name is romanized as 'Yuu Watase'. In October 2008, Watase began her first shōnen serialization, Arata: The Legend in Weekly Shōnen Sunday. Because of her frequent use of beautiful male characters in her works, she is widely regarded in circles as a bishōnen manga artist. Since writing her debut short story 'Pajama de Ojama' ('An Intrusion in Pajamas'), Watase has created more than 80 compiled volumes of short stories and continuing series. She received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo for Ceres, Celestial Legend in 1997.

She likes all music, except heavy metal and old traditional music. She is known for her works Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, Ceres: The Celestial Legend, Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend. But Aki has made his own vow.and he will claim Ceres-his woman-one way or the other.A Japanse shoujo manga-ka. Is there any truth to Aki's claim that the monster is the daughter of a priest who made the grave error of angering a celestial maiden or 'ten'nyo' hundreds of years ago.? Speaking of ten'nyo, Aya has vowed to never release Ceres again. And then there's a kind of actual hell itself, in the form of a beneath-school passageway, where a.creature.is said to roam. Aki-or, should we say, the 'Progenitor'-is on campus and making Aya's life hell. But, here, their problems are more serious than just making new friends.

Their search for the celestial robes or 'hagoromo' resumed, Aya and Yûhi transfer to (yet another) new school. Aya thought she was a normal teenager until she discovered that she can transform into a vastly powerful “heavenly maiden” named Ceres.But Ceres is furious and out for revenge! Yuu Watase, the immensely popular writer/artist of the shôjo (girl's) fantasy smash Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, has turned her creativity and wry sense of humor to the horror genre with her anime/manga hit Ceres: Celestial Legend.

Horror, Comedy, and Romance Made in Heaven Hell hath no fury like a heavenly maiden.
