Angel Dust Manga
Does anyone know anything about what could be trouble in this series? Everything I read said very positive things about it and some sources were quite enthusiastic. I really want to get it if it doesn't have any major problems.

Huh. I've never even heard of it. Who's the mangaka and publishing house?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The manga-ka is Aoi Nanase, and it's been liscensed by ADV. I'm afraid it's shoujo-ai because the heroine supposedly falls in love with a character named Seraph, whose gender isn't given in any of the reviews, and all the art I have seen is only girls. If it's that, I wish one of the reviews would just come out and say so.

The main bad [girl] character, I've heard, her name is Lucifer.
It is considered homosexual by some viewers because (as far as I know) these "angels" make a 'covenant' or promise with new owners, in the form of a kiss on the lips. But I didn't hear it was anything romantic, I heard the story was more about a girl who wants to make up with a friend, and the "angels" are just in there too.
Did you visit any fansites?

Tried, but most of them were translations from German and Spanish. The Spanish site seemed to be calling Seraph a him, but I'm not sure.

The only thing I read up was that the main girl eventually starts to like the angel Seraph... *shrugs* not a whole lotta site on this to find pics of to actually comfirm it.
Either than that, it sounds somewhat interesting.

Hmm. I tried looking for reviews, and I read a few in french.
Most of the comments about this book were: "The drawings were beautiful but the story was weak. There was also too many girls"
Maybe, can you read this book before buying it? Then, if you're not bothered by it, you can spend your money on it?
... aha. maybe this website will help you. i thinkit has good synopsis of the chapters. http://www.angelfire.com/anime/Kurisutaru/angeldust.html

*bumps for question*
So I finally saw the manga on sale (haven't been manga shopping for a while) and it sure has an odd square shape to it!
Anyways, knowing it's out now, anyone NOW know if it does have that objectional stuff in it? I quickly flipped through and it didn't APPEAR to be... *shrugs*

Oh sorry!^^ Read your last post wrong cause you mentioned something about French reviews, so I guess I thought you were meaning that the link was a French site or something >_<
But I guess that kinda helps... I'll still have to think about this title.
