So, I just woke up this morning and discovered that there's a DNAngel manga. I don't know what deep dark cave I've been living in but-- oh, that's beside the point. How is this manga? I know the story so I guess I'm really just curious about the content. Thanks for your help.

I have only read the first volume so far (and I *love* it). Content wise, the first volume is about as clean as Angelic Layer. I can't think of any language issues and certainly no nudity/violence. The one thing I can think of so far is a scene where a girl sees the thief, Dark, is seen by a girl who has the power to change him back to Daisuke in her room at night. She starts screaming and to keep her quiet he holds her down and kisses her. Nothing more objectionable than that is shown...though TokyoPop has given it a 13+ rating.

Like I said, so far I like it and it's pretty clean IMO. There's a bonus manga in the back called N for Nishiki, and that has some magic in it--summoners and the like, but it's still pretty innocent in my eyes. Hope this helped!

Okay, who's read volume two? Am I crazy, or should I be confused about that manga that takes up the second half? What's it called. . . something--something-- demon. Er, something like that.


By the way, I LOVE THIS MANGA!! THE SECOND VOLUME ROCKED!!! And daisuike needs to wise up and fall for Riku. Dark is just an obsessive counter-ego. He shouldn't get the better twin. Besides Risa likes him. So they should get together.

I nabbed DNAngel 2 the day after it came out. Yeah, definately rocked; although I get who has a crush on who mixed up. And mangafan, as I tell my sister--if they all got together perfectly there wouldn't be a need to make a story! ^^

As for "the demon returns", I was really hoping for more "N is for Nishiki" instead. I guess they will just keep showing snippits of the author's previous works which I don't particularly like but *shrug*. I loved the Daisuke/Daisuki thing--that was too hilarious.

Yeah, that was rich! Actually, any part where wiz poses as Daisuike is hillarious.

So. . . just sorta curious, do you guys have favorite frames in a manga? Escpecially in this second volume of DNAngel, I have a favorite fame. You know that part where Daisuike and Risa have met in the park and she puts her hair behind her ear. I just LOVE that frame. I can't really say why, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I just love the way hands are drawn in manga. Oh well, just further proof that I'm weird. ;)

And KT, you have to read this one. It's so wonderful. (It's not Furuba, but it's still really good.)

Hmm, my favorite frame....well in volume 2 I adored all of page 37. I tend to prefer the close ups of Dark though. ^^ What a hunk, ne?

I love when it shows Dark talking to Risa and you see a note off to the side that's pointing at Dark and says "He's laying on the charm." HEHEHE. Major hunk.

ah, I'm a big fan of DNAngel. ^___^ I heard someone say that there was some boy\boy stuff in there, and that made me sad, because it's clean, but saying you like it appearently has connotations. *seeths* *cough* Anyway, when is 3 coming out?

I heard the same thing. I'm curious with what characters, though. I mean, we both know Dark and Daisuike have their own female attractions. And I can't imagine it being between the afore mentioned, because their the same person. Having a Yaoi relationship with your alter-ego would be quite wrong. Was there any gay relationships in the anime?

If I had to guess, I bet they would try to pair Dark or Daisuke (most likely Daisuke) with Satoshi. And knowing there's another guy in the series later on--Krad--I bet they would probably try to place him with Dark. Ugh, I need some mental mouthwash after this post. :drool:

My bookstore has multiple copies of volume 2 (more copies than they have of any other manga in stock I wuold guess) and no volume 1. I might just have to read volume 2 first, I mean there can't be that much plot/character development in the first volume right? ;)

Hey-I came back and read the posts that cam eafter mine about DNAngel-I explained it to the best of my ability on the 'What Manga Are You Reading Now' thread. Btw KiraKira, I for got to add that I don't think you should stop reading it yet-I'm just saying that it has references to shounen-ai stuff between Daisuke and Takeshi and *maybe* Satoshi-go to the other thread to find out more about the maybe. Those references would have most likely gone over my head if I hadn't read other stuff on the web that mentioned that possibily....this kinda makes me feel bad that I mentioned it at all :( I'm sorry to have put this image in everyone's mind-please forgive me! I wasn't trying to do this. It probably won't go any further than those kinds of little references that the mangaka puts in-it just bothers me now that I realize what they are....I don't want to talk about the other references found in DNAngel that were mentioned if you want to know them (which I don't know why you would) you can look for them yourself...I think it's ok to continue on reading but you have to ignore those refs k? :)

I just read volume 3. It was really pretty, and it was great fun. Even though it was confusing.

Yeah, don't feel bad about the mention Indigo. I mean, Satoshi cross-dresses for a scene. I doubt that would have gone over anybody's head. ;). But, fortuneately, I don't think it was sexual at all. I'm thinking he's trying to trigger a transformation in Dark by posing as a good looking woman. And he was a pretty good looking woman. Disturbing.

BTW, ladies, there's one cute little kiss. [/spoiler]

Yay! I found volume one... and volume two so now I just have to hunt down volume three. The first two were great, Satoshi was awesome.

*goes back to search, this time for volume 3*
*Mumbles* . . . it was worth it though ^^
