{"product_id":"yun-kouga-earthian-manga","title":"Yun Kouga - Earthian Manga","description":"\u003cp\u003eAngels have been observing humanity, known as the Earthian, for five billion years from a base on the moon. They judge humans by their actions, counting positive and negative marks: if ten thousand positive marks are tallied, the Earthian will be spared, but if ten thousand negative marks are counted, their world will be destroyed. Chihaya, a rare angel born with black wings, is one of the few who likes humans and wants them to live. Kagetsuya, his partner, follows him anywhere, though he sees the humans' dangerous side more clearly than Chihaya does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEarthian\u003c\/em\u003e (original title \u003cem\u003eĀshian\u003c\/em\u003e) is a science fiction shonen-ai manga written and illustrated by Yun Kouga, the creator of \u003cem\u003eLoveless\u003c\/em\u003e. It was her professional debut, serialized in Shinshokan's \u003cem\u003eWings\u003c\/em\u003e beginning in 1988. The series moves between standalone stories about human lives the angels observe and a larger conflict about the angels' judgment, and the relationship between Chihaya and Kagetsuya develops slowly across it. The English edition is the deluxe Japanese rerelease, with more than 300 pages per volume and bonus material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in English by TOKYOPOP's Blu imprint across four volumes from November 2005 to August 2006.
