Product ID: 31631155
International hit by the creator of Angel Sanctuary Deep in the heart of 19th century London, a young nobleman named Cain walks the shadowy cobblestone streets of the aristocratic society into which he was born. Forced to become an earl upon the untimely death of his father, Cain assumes the role of head of the Hargreaves, a noble family with a dark past. With Riff, his faithful manservant, and Mary Weather, his 10-year-old half sister, Cain investigates the mysterious crimes that seem to follow him wherever he goes. Missing boys and a strange little girl who shouldn't exist usher us into the fourth volume of Godchild , where we learn more about Dr. Disraeli and his complicated connection to Cain's father and the secret society of DELILAH.

Godchild
I love Godchild. I mean to me its up there with Mars and all my other favorite manga. The artwork is beautiful, the story dark and suspenseful and the characters interesting and well fleshed out. The only part that I don't like about volume four is the big blurb that says its explicit and the packaging on it. Why? Because although Godchild is violent and at times graphic its not that graphic. But besides that I have to say that this series is great and I would highly reccomend it.

Series is developing well.
Kaori Yuki, The Cain Saga: Godchild, vol. 4 (ViZ, 2002) Two stories in this one. "Little Miss Muffet" has Cain and Jizabel facing off over an extremely odd little girl named Mikaila, while "Bloody Maria" finds Cain going undercover to solve a string of disappearances of young blondheaded boys. Yuki has improved tremendously at working the larger storyline into the episodes that make up each volume, keeping the episodic feel without sacrificing the larger storyline. *** ½

GodChild is like reading Sweeney Todd
If you are an interested reader of the gothic Victorian era, then you may be interested in the 'GodChild' series, illustrated by Kaori Yuki. This is one of my more memorable and beautiful works of hers. I have been collecting her series and finally obtained her 4th volume. Within each chapter is a twisted view of Great Britain, as Cain Hargreaves walk the cobble stone streets solving mystery one after another. The author has certainly captured a great feel of England, from the detail of clothes, expressions and postures. Sometimes the dark stories of the family and strangers he meet can be overwhelming and at times, bizarre. It's strange that Viz never labelled that in the first few books and sort of mislabelled it as a Shojo story. It isn't your typical young girl's shojo, but a rather morbid and angst-ridden story with murders and some forms of mutilation. But otherwise an interesting read overall. Warning for readers; it has explicit violent content and not suited for 12-14 year old.
