SynopsisThe series focuses on Ian Hasumi, a timid boy who sees fairies which are invisible to normal people and who is stalked by a vengeful spirit named Tokage. His mother left before the start of the series and as a result, Ian's father burns off the wing marks on Ian's back to prevent him from doing the same. Rin, Ian's abused childhood friend and secret "crush", returns to the city where he lives. Later, Ian accidentally stumbles onto the scene of a murder; after seeing a man named Kaito retrieve a cube from the victim's body, he follows Kaito back to his antique shop, where Kaito gives him Tokage's fairy cube—the contained spirit of a fairy. However, as a result of being manipulated by Tokage, Ian's father kills him. Tokage then possesses Ian's body and takes over his life, including romancing Rin. As a spirit, Ian goes back to Kaito's shop and after a trip through the Otherworld with a small but vicious fairy named Ainsel, is given the replacement body of a young boy. Ainsel agrees to aid him in his quest to regain his body. (Source: Wikipedia)

Story: 8
Going into this Manga, do not at all expect a story that is, how to put it, one of ones happy go lucky fairy tales. Expect something more along the lines of Brothers Grim and those stories, with a great deal of taking from the fokelore of many aspects of quite a few cultures, capturing the darker side that is rarely seen any more. Also, while it ends on a happy note, there is also a note of saddness to it.
Art: 8
The art work seemed a tad bit over done on the girly side, and I am female. I loved the detale placed on the wings, but it was at times hard to pick out differences in characters for one things.
Character: 6
As for the characters, they start of really strong, then become weak towards the middle, then end beautifully. It is the middle part that might make some wish not to continue reading.
Enjoyment: 8 & Overall: 7
I had to say that this was a good tale that was good for a sitting down, but perhaps not a reread on my part as most of the characters I really couldn't get attached to. The ones I did were the most 'lonely' characters in the whole series. read more

They have a similar feel, dealing with tragedy and pain.

Add blood, a bit of violence, gothic artwork and dark characters to Merupuri, switch wizards to fairies and you´ll have Fairy Cube.
- Both have a main teenage guy that ends up stuck in a child´s body.
- Both have a main girl that ends up falling in love with the main guy and tries to protect him but ends up being abducted.
- The main guy has a brother that is his rival and at first sight, his "enemy".
- Both have an older guy with a little fairy that loves him and follows him everywhere because he saved her when she was younger.
