SynopsisSudou Mikuzu has a very special talent--she can see ghosts. And because of this predisposition, she's become a magnet for all sorts of unwelcome monsters. Luckily for her she's just met Seto, a friendly, cross-dressing young exorcist. Sudou needs protection from all the creepy phantoms bugging her, and Seto needs to practice his exorcism skills. Consequently, the pair decides to team up and help each other. In return, Sudou promises to bake a cake every time a ghost gets zapped!

Heaven's Will was a little one shot i read a year back because i didn't have much time to get into a long story. I read one-shots here and there and they always leave me wishing for more. It wasn't different with Heaven's will. I would of liked to see it develop a little more. I haven't read anything more by Satoru Takamiya, but this peeked my interest to read a few of her other works.
What you get is a simple entertaining story thats good for rainy days. The story isn't really anything too new, but it has a few little quirks here and there that are intersting. The characters where fun and you had to love Seto's Classic Lolita inspired clothing and hair. ^-^
Besides being short and a one-shot the story wasn't so bland that you wondered why you where reading it in the first place. Also the content didn't seem rushed or squished, if you took your time. If you rush through a manga, of course it will seem rushed, its physics. ^-^ XD Just a cute little story about a boy with a sad past and that now lives to be an exorcist. There isn't to much about the other two main characters. A typical girl, Mizuku, thats extermly shy around boys and has a sort of curse that Seto will help her with. Kagari was just there with Sero because of his past. The characters had a interesting relations with eachother that was funny at times and curious.
I enjoyed the manga, i felt that i should have a cup of tea when i was reading it. Or something sweet because Seto's obession with sweets left me craving for cake. :) I don't find to many mangas like Heaven's will that have all those little elements of genre and detail done right.
For a sweet little treat i suggest you give Heaven's Will a try! read more

Aside from the male leads and their crossdressing there's something that feels similar but far more mean spirited in the relationship with the female protagonist. Still, some fun in the times they do help even if they act like they aren't doing so.

Both series contain similar aspects of the supernatural. Both contain vampires and a relatively ordinary girl (with the obligatory angsty past) who gets involved with them, and inevitably gets her world turned upside down.
Also, among the main characters of both series, there are major feelings of guilt for past (or future) actions, making both series not only attractive in the adventurous, supernatural sense, but in the real life sense as well.
