A two book serie that's enchanting, short, and sweet. A shame, it could have been longer, but nonetheless a good beginning for anyone who doesn't know a thing of manga and who likes a little thought to be given.
Great

This seris is short but amazing. I loved reading every second. A little confusing at first but you fall in love with the characters so easily.
Good Read

I thought the first volume of Flower of the Deep Sleep was very enjoyable and a very good read. It was very well organized making it extremely easy to read and understand, not at all confusing. The characters worked, and held interest throughout the book making it very hard to put down. I'm very excited to have found this amazing story and cannot wait until the release of Volume 2 in May.
About Yuana Kazumi

Note that I'm writing this "review" well before the manga has been released. I have not read The Flower of Deep Sleep, Yuana Kazumi's third manga. I have, however, read her first two manga from the Japanese version (Hyakuman Tsubu no Namida, "One Million Tear Drops" and Sorayume no Uta, "The Song of Dreams"), and can tell you that they are wonderful peices of art. The stories are supernatural and touching -- one dealing with the line between man and machine, and innocent desires; the other dealing with the bitterness that causes people to kill, and the price of immortality. In both manga, there are cute, sweet scenes of happiness, and then a dive into the darker plot. Violence is used sparingly, but well. Altogether, Yuana Kazumi's first two manga are serious, character-driven shoujo with endings that will leave you stunned. From what I have seen of the Flower of Deep Sleep, I suspect it will contain the same supernatural element, passionate characters, and stunning ending. I strongly urge everyone to give this series a try. It is the only one of Yuana Kazumi's manga licensed in the United States (as I write this). Yuana Kazumi's 4th, and current manga, that she's working on is called HaruHana, and actually appears to be a relatively "normal" shoujo romance. Hopefully we will see it, or her first two manga, licensed in the United States =)
