Fairies Landing is one of Tokyopop's latest releases. I think it's techincally manhwa rather than manga, actually.
Anyway, it deserves its 13+ rating. It has light fanservice, crass comments and insinuations. The art is very good, though, and the story is quite interesting.
I'm an impulsive buyer (unfortunately) and I was just wondering if anyone else had picked up this title.

I read the first one, but I don't plan on buying it. It reminded me of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Celestial Legend Ceres.

It's about this guy that, through various circumstances, ends up having a fairy living with him. However, this isn't like a catch-in-a-bottle-Zelda fairy, this is a life-sized one. She calls the guy "master" but it's not like other "beautiful, innocent, magical girl moves in with misfit, geek, lech of a guy" stories. It's .. really hard to explain, actually. Like I said before, though, it really earns its 13+ rating - at least for the first book. I've yet to read the second.
I'm not well-versed in most manhwa (I usually read manga) so I don't know how to compare it to others or what to expect content-wise. Here's the info on it, though.

Just a slight update/warning. I've read volumes 1-3 (currently all that's been released) and the series is losing major points with me. Fanservice and immature dialogue is becoming more and more frequent, and the preview for book 4 is giving some strong hints about homosexual characters entering in on the scene. I have a feeling that I'll be dropping this series in the near future.

Don't you hate it when a manga just runs head long down the abyss towards mediocraty (is that a word? could I have spelled it right? Tune in next time and find out!) Nothing makes me more upset than when the first volume rocks and the rest are total crud. Bleh.
