Forgot to mention: Aki has powers that can HELP the family so I guess they're just gonna keep him in a room.

Toya is a bodyguard in the Mikage's hire. BTW Aya has had some severe dokis for him this whole time. Aki is awake but trapped. Aya Does A Thing. Suzumi and Yuhi and their weird grandma(?) are in pursuit when Suzumi senses Aya Doing A Thing. Aya explodes the house or something, and they are able to get her out of there as she passes out. Toya probably could've stopped them if he'd wanted- also the little angel explosion thing didn't do anything to him.

Aya walks in on Yuhi in the bath. I'm amused by the reversal. Suzumi assigns Yuhi to stay with Aya at all times as her bodyguard. She also gives him a magical headband that can only be removed by a Heavenly Maiden and induces pain if he disobeys one. Aya is transferring to Yuhi's school, which will somehow help her research Heavenly Maidens. Kagami Mikage assigns Toya as Aki's bodyguard, and also wants Toya to find Aya. Grandpa and probably most of the family want her dead, but this guy wants to study her. It is mentioned for the second or third time that Toya "can't refuse" orders. Kagami tells Mom that Aya killed Dad.

Toya pops by to see Aya at school. He's an amnesiac, remembering only his name and "Mikage." The Mikages promised him his memories back, and next time she sees him, they'll be enemies. He seems to be into her too.

Aya goes home again because that's still a super idea. Home seems very unexploded so maybe last time it was Grandpa's place? Mom's here, thanks to Kagami and against Grandpa's wishes. They cook dinner together until Mom confronts her over killing Dad. She's going for a murder-suicide by knife. Kagami fills Aki in on the powers thing. The hand was mummified, and Kagami's wounds probably reflect the death of his ancestor. Toya, Yuhi, and Weird Grandma show up for the save, but Aya Does A Thing. Ceres is now here and Aya has gone to sleep.

And that's all we have.

My rating: 7/10
Man it's like Fushigi Yuugi all over again. That one's a tad more up my alley though, so I think it's the one I'd be more likely to pursue and enjoy.

Discussion Question: What's your favorite Japanese folktale? Or non-Japanese if that's too hard.
Hint for Next: I don't know when this came out, but it LOOKS more recent than 90% of our collection.
