The Earl and The Fairy

review 1: Lydia Carlton is borne to a fairy doctor. She has the ability to do things others cannot. After her mother passed, people perceived her as crazy, and strange.When her father sends message for her to come and visit in London, she is very happy. However, on her way she is kidnapped, by somebody who's identity is left to the imagination...I really like this book, it was a little confusing towards the middle. However, I enjoyed the whole mysteriousness of the plot and I really liked the characters. This was my first manga/anime/shojo and I am so glad to say I really enjoyed it! Need to pick up the next one!
review 2: Imagine an alternate Victorian England where fairies are real, but only fairy doctors—a fading profession—can actually see them. Fairy doctors can... more only see and speak to fairies and act as ambassadors between faeries and man. Lydia Carlton, a young fairy doctor setting up shop in Scotland, had been caught in the crossfire of two parties seeking the Treasure Sword. One of the parties, the roguish Edgar J.C Ashenbert, wants the sword to prove he is the rightful heir to the Blue Knight Earl's title. The other parties seek the sword's Star Sapphire for the wealth it will bring. Both parties need Lydia's skills to solve the riddles that hide the sword from man. This manga is illustrated by Ayuko, but it is based on the novel by Mizue Tani.I enjoyed the story immensely for the art. Ayuko has a whispy style that lends itself well to the subject matter. The alternate England is also entertaining. Although Lydia's character seems the damsel in distress far too often, she does show spunk and fends off Edgar's advances well. Edgar is a manipulative ladies man who is as handsome as he is untrustworthy. Yet he is an interesting character and rarely disappoints. This volume does a nice job establishing setting while introducing mysteries to be revealed later. I definitely recommend reading the Viz translated version as opposed to the fan translated version out there which is often incoherent in its narrative. less
