Synopsis

Despite his kind-hearted and sensitive nature, Ian Hasumi is called "Ian the Liar" for one reason: he can see things that nobody else can. This includes fairies and "Tokage," a malicious doppelganger with lizard-colored green hair. When Ian reunites with Rin Ishinagi, his childhood friend and the one person who once believed him, news of "fairy murders" spreads around the city.

Victims of these murders are easily identified by the wing-like bloodstains on their backs. Ian stumbles upon a murder where he encounters Kaito, a mysterious man who also discovers the crime scene. Kaito is the owner of an odd shop that sells crystal cubes with insects frozen inside. Insisting that Ian did not see anything, Kaito gifts him a crystal cube with a lizard inside before bidding him farewell.

Unfortunately for Ian, Tokage utilizes the cube in an attempt to take over his body and leave Ian as a spirit, destined to perish. Determined to change his fate, Ian makes a contract with none other than Kaito and his stingy fairy companion—all while hoping to reunite with Rin again.

Fairy Cube is a manga that was written and illustrated by Kaori Yuki. It has a bit of romance, mystery and horror and takes some cues from Irish mythology.

Ian Hasumi is a reserved teen who has the power to see fairies. He is known as a liar as no one believes him except his childhood friend Rin. After a spate of fairy murders, Ian sees a stranger at one of the ...

I would rate this 6.5 if I could. I've read a lot of stuff by this artist, and this has to have been my least favorite of her work so far. It has a pretty interesting theme, but I think it's pretty rushed through. There was definitely some twists, but I felt it was lacking a bit in terms of content and pace (though I guess that's hard to do in 3 volumes). Beautiful art like always though.

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 ...
