In all honesty, this story can barely compare to other mangas of similar storyline. This series can barely hold a candle against Ah! My Goddess or Ceres, just to name a few. I don't see how the sad portion of the ending makes any sense to anyone, *spoilers* the guy is only 28... *end spoilers* I just didn't feel myself make any emotional connection with any of the characters and that their potential could have been much greater. The love between a devil and an angel, the love between the two main characters, and even the development of the secondary characters all could have been much more expanded on. Conclusively, this series falls short in comparison to both CLAMP's work and other similar series.

The first three volumes of Wish were cute, sweet, with pretty art, but did not really touch my heart. Volume four finishes the series with a bang, a surprise twist, and moving story developments. I was deeply moved, almost to tears. Volume 4 is a much more mature, deeper volume than volumes one through three. Time is up for Kohaku to stay on Earth. She must return to Heaven to fulfill her special job of awakening the baby angels. Shuichiro's house feels empty now. His grandfather chides Shuichiro for "letting that girl go." Satan's crown prince is onto something - something that paints a much bigger, and much more disturbing, picture of who Shuichiro really is. Meanwhile, the other angel masters come to Earth themselves to search for Madame Hsui, including one who is in love with her. The art is exquisite, as usual. At the end, there is a great bonus "story" of when the Wish characters come to "visit" the CLAMP artists at their studio.

yeah, I know, there are some really sad mangas out there, but I'd never cried in a manga before. THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL BUT IT WAS SO SAD!!!! Wish was one of those stories where you couldn't help but cry. So was Chobits, Love HIna, InuYasha, Kodocha, and Full Metal Alchemist, but I mean, this was really good and really wonderful.
