No review at all for this? That seems slightly undeserved - it is not that bad after all.

Eight Clouds Rising or Yakumo Tatsu is a short 2 episode OVA which is based on a manga of Natsumi Itsuki (some might be familiar with her as the creator of the rather popular Hanasakeru Seishounen which was written before Yakumo Tatsu). The manga was serialized from 1992 to 2002 by Hakusensha in the shoujo magazine LaLa. Additionally it was published in 19 single volumes in Japan. The OVA covers only the storyline up to chapter 3 of volume 2 of the manga.

Recommendations

'Eight Clouds' was giving me very strong MoB vibes right from the start. Both have a highschool student with special powers as main character, and coincidentally they look like twins. Both deal with Japanese mythology and/or history and both are pretty angsty. One exception - Eight Clouds is shoujo, while Mirage of Blaze is BL.
