Ayashi no Ceres - Description/Synopsis
Ceres was a tennyo (Celestial maiden) who came down from the heavens to bathe in a stream. She hung her hagoromo (robe) on a tree nearby, which was her key to returning to the heavens. But the robe was stolen and the man who had stolen it forced her to become his wife, thus producing a family full of human and tennyo blood mixed. Now, in modern day time, Aya Mikage is a descendent of Ceres, and has quite an ammount tennyo blood. On her 16th birthday, she and her twin brother, Aki, are thrown a party. At the \"party\", Aya\'s grandpa plans to kill her, for she has tennyo powers unlike the rest of the family, and can actually become Ceres herself and destroy the Mikage family. Aya, however, can switch back, so this transformation happens quite frequently. With protector Yuuhi by her side, it is up to Aya to control Ceres and keep her from coming back, but her relationship with an ex-worker for her evil grandpa may be a distraction.

~~~~~

Adapted from the manga Ceres: Celestial Legend 5/1996 to 3/2000 from Viz Communications.
Number of Volumes 14

Aya and Aki used to be your everyday, normal twins, until the day of their 16th birthday. When they turn 16, a family secret is revealed to them that they come from a line that carries the blood on tennyo (heavenly maidens), and that the females that have this tennyo blood running strong in them must be killed when they turn 16 because the family fears the tennyo’s wrath. Aya just happens to be the strongest yet to inherit the blood, and manages to escape her grandfather’s murderous plot by being possessed by the tennyo, Ceres. Now Aya tries to continue on with her life as she attempts to avoid being killed by her family, while at the same time tries to find a way to be a normal girl. However, it turns out Aki, her twin brother, also has inherited something in his blood, and it only makes matters worse.

great anime!
I must say that this is the best anime i've ever seen...it has everything : love, drama, funny moments..but what's rare about it is that it is very deep..and it really touches your heart..it feels so real.Once you've started watching it you can't seem to stop, you just have to know what happens next..the suspense and the drama are irresistable.(plus, the main characters are so beautifully drawn..and so expressive)
I've been looking for an anime like it for a long time but i haven't found one yet.It is truly a unique creation.If you haven't seen it yet I strongly reccomend to do it! ;) Although you might not like other anime series so much afterwards,as this one will set very high standards (at least this is what happened to me :P )

Good and Bad
I think that the anime wasn't as good as 4 stars. I think the story was great, and so were the characters. But the quality wasn't to good. Now the manga is one the best manga I own. If your really picky about the graphics(which I am) you'll have no problem liking the graphics in this manga. Now the manga is actually not called Ayashi no Ceres, but it is called Ceres:Celesial Legends. It's got a great story to it and you'll fall in love with the characters and the graphics are great. Overall, I give Ayashi No Ceres(Ceres:Celestial Legends)5stars.
