Ayashi no Ceres
















Summary

The story revolves around a teenage girl named Aya and her twin brother Aki,
members of the wealthy and powerful Mikage family.

On their sixteenth birthday, they are called to gather in their family home to be given a
special present. Instead they find themselves the victims of an ancient family ritual.
Aya is proven to be the reincarnation of a celestial maiden (天女, tennyo?), and upon
reaching the age of sixteen her body is able to bring forth a powerful, celecital
maiden called Ceres, the tennyo. When she transforms into Ceres, Aya obtains
supernatural powers and often forgets what she has done during the transformation,
resulting in a double personality. According to the legend, if left to live, the
reincarnation of Ceres will bring ruin upon the Mikage family. Aya quickly finds herself
assigned a death penalty by her own family. However, she is saved by Suzumi Aogiri,
another tennyo descendant, from Kansai and Suzumi's brother-in-law, Yūhi. They take
Aya into their home after she is forced to run from the Mikage.

Events escalate as Aya struggles to control Ceres and her brother gains the ability to
manifest as "Shiso Mikagi", the ancestor of the Mikage family who stole Ceres'
celestial robe (羽衣, hagoromo?), without which she cannot return to heaven. Aya
must also wrestle with affection for Toya, a Mikage employee with no memory of his
own past. He is assigned to protect Aki and observe Aya by the leader of the C-project
(celestial project). As he carries out his mission, he begins to develop feeling for Aya,
and she for him.

As Aya's allies increase, which include two C-Genomers (celestial descendants) like
herself and the Aogiri family, and Tōya, she manages to make an agreement with
Ceres. Aya promises to retrive Ceres's "hagoromo" in exchange for the celestial
maiden's mercy toward her brother and Toya.

Aya's quest to find Ceres's hagoromo wavers as she struggles with the emotional
trauma of losing her family, battles the organization carrying out the C-Project, fights
off the advances of Shiso Mikagi, and defies the forces that threaten to tear her away
from Tōya. Tōya also struggles to find himself and regain his lost memory. In doing so,
he learns that he was the organism that was created from the hagoromo or mana and
his purpose was to return the mana back to Ceres.

Aya Mikage















Regular girl. Shallow until the whole Ceres thing happens to her. She falls in love too
easily in my opinion..and with that fruit Toya out of all people??? I would've gone for
Yuhi.

A high-school girl and heroine at the beginning of the story who discovers she is a
descendant of a tennyo named Ceres and is Ceres' latest medium for existence. The
Mikage family takes this as a threat and continuously tries to take Aya's life. Her father
is killed attempting to protect her. Her mother is forced into a coma for the majority of
the series. While Aya is initially horrified that her life has been turned upside down,
she is determined to right the past doings of her family and recover Ceres' hagoromo
so that her family will no longer suffer in fear of Ceres. Later she finds herself falling
in love with Tōya.

Toya













Damn fruit, go die. Worst character ever made. You grew up in 10 days with no life and
suddenly "fall in love"...he's just damn corny and makes no sense.

A mysterious young man who has absolutely no memory of his past or the nature of his
being; his only clues are two names: "Tōya" ("ten nights", his name), and "Mikage". He
was found and hired by Kagami and works for Mikage International, and later rebels
against them. He and Aya are drawn to one another, not only in love. Tōya is the
embodiment/offspring of the hagoromo which Ceres is searching for. As he regains
his lost memories, he sacrifices the immortality bestowed upon him by the object to
save Aya and his unborn child. At the end of the series he tells Yūhi that he may not
live for long and that Yūhi should take care of Aya once he dies.

Yuhi
















He's hilarious, and really honestly loves Aya. His character development is much more
realistic. He's so faithful even though he knows she likes Toya, he accepts it and
continues to love her. This is the one she should've gone for-but no, Aya that fucking
idiot.

Suzumi's brother-in-law, the adopted younger brother of Suzumi's deceased husband.
He wore a headband enhanced with tennyo magic made by Suzumi. Yūhi has
unrequited feelings for Aya, who comes to see him as a brother. But then he accepts
the fact that Aya only has eyes for Tōya. Later, he begins to return the affections of
Chidori Kurama...but then she dies. A notable martial arts expert, he is also an
extraordinary cook.

Aki Mikage












Sad....imagine, your twin sister is taken over by Ceres, and you are taken over by
Shiso, her former lover, who is vengefully possesive. And that's your damn TWIN
SISTER. But you can't control your body when Shiso takes over it and she can't control
hers when Ceres takes over her. And you know that Shiso is doing sick things to your
sister...or Ceres, whoever, and her body. It's inevitable he had to die, but tragic.

Aya's twin brother, a gentle and caring person who is subject to becoming a medium
for the spirit of Mikagi, the founder of the Mikage family who aggressively pursues
Aya and Ceres and almost raped Aya. In the end he sacrifices his life to destroy the
violent Mikagi's reincarnation.

Shiso






Here's a realistic villain. He was a kind, caring, normal man...until Ceres gave him
some of her tennyo powers, then he got obsessed and power hungry and turned into
the sadistic, possessive rapist he is. I hate him though, and I was happy when he died.
But i still did feel bad for him when Ceres was all like "You're just one of the many
men who planted their seed in me. a seed planter is all you are-but your sex wasn't
that good. Toya-that was a good man, much better than you." aw....I feel bad for him
even though he's a sadistic idiot.

A man from the Jōmon period of Japan and the founder of the Mikage family. In the
legend, he hid her hagoromo in the ocean forcing her to become mortal. Toward the
end, it is revealed that he had begun as a gentle, kind young man. Ceres falls in love
with him, to the point of granting him power after their family is attacked and he is
ashamed at his own inability to protect them. As Shiso grows strong, he went mad and
his love becoming an obsession that drives him to hide the hagoromo, and Ceres
comes to fear for her children's safety. When she leaves, he chases her and is killed
by Ceres (after he kills their first child), who covers him with lacerations identical to
the ones that appear on Aki Mikage when Mikagi manifests himself in his descendant.
He will stop at nothing to ensure Ceres is his again.
Ceres







Tragic...her story is obviously that of following the tennyo legends in Asia. But i don't
get at the end how after she killed the dude she was all like "Did you love me" and he
says "Yeah but I didn't understand you" and she says "yes we honestly loved each
other". After he let you get raped, imprisoned you, molested you, abused you, you
killed him deceived him, tortured him-now you wanna call it love??? That's not love,
that's just lust gone horribly wrong.

A celestial maiden or tennyo from the legend, who married the founder of the Mikage
family, Shiso Mikagi. While she is extremely powerful and volatile, she seeks to
recover her hagoromo, or celestial robe, to regain her powers. She has repeatedly
attempted to manifest herself through certain female descendants of her line when
they reach the age of sixteen, only to be thwarted each time as they are killed by the
Mikage family. Ceres hides a tragic past misinterpreted by descendants who seek to
kill Aya to stop Ceres for another generation.
