      Kato-kun (Mr. Kato) is an ordinary boy who works at a convenience store. Extraordinary things have started happening to him since he picked up a beautiful girl at a bar one night. It turns out she is an Angel–literally! She has two wings that sprout from her back, and only a few people can see her. She’s moved into his bachelor pad, and he feels like he’s in heaven. Although he has no idea where she is from or why she is living with him, he lets her stay as long as she wants. An Angel is a savior–and there are a lot of people who need saving! She crosses the paths of a neglected kindergartner, a troubled middle-school student, and she even helps Kato himself in his attempts to befriend a pretty girl named Miho.

    Angel tales, I was really surprised by the negative comments about the art in this manga – different strokes for different folks I guess. Personally, I absolutely adore the art. It is very simple, with a minimal number of lines being used to draw a person or set a scene, and at the same time it is very elegant, and Erica Sakurazawa has an incredible sense of composition – not one line is out of place, like a visual poem. I guess if you like cluttered, overdetailed art you wouldn’t like it, and those that like traditional shoujo or shonen styles won’t like this because this looks like neither, but if you like elegant, etherial illustration, this is right up your alley.
    Anyway, enough about the art – how is the story you say? Well, to tell you the truth I generally don’t like Erica Sakurazawa’s manga – I find her characters shallow, full of themselves, too pretty for their own good, and more interested in screwing than in trying to build an actual relationship. This manga is an exception though – maybe because she is not writing about love per-se, I really like her writing here. Angel is a collection of several short stories with a common theme – an angel appears in the lives of a series of unhappy people. She looks like a young girl in a nightgown with wings, and cannot be seen by anyone except those in whose lives she is involved. She does not talk, does not eat, but does drink Blue Bombay Gin :) Rather than being an active instigator of change in the lives of the people she interacts with, she is rather a quiet, comforting presence who offers support through her very being to the people who need her. When her job is over, she leaves, only to appear to another person.
    The stories contain a quiet melancholy, and a sense for the rythm of life I rarelly see elsewhere. They bring a quiet smile to your face.
    Tokopop took a gamble by bringing Erika Sacurazawa’s works to America. She is an author who writes for adult women, and her stories seem to have gone over the heads of most teenage fangirls. The books have not really found an audience, which is a shame – if they had been more popular, more adult manga would have been brought over. As it is, enjoy what we have :)
