Seikon Sacrifice
by Tenkawa Ai
[ Demographic: SHOUJO ]
A lonely girl, whose parents died in an accident years ago, meets a mysterious guy one day... calling her his sacrifice.
(5 chapters read as of the date this blog entry was posted)
POTENTIAL: D+ (DISAPPOINTING!) 
FAVORITISM: 1.5 Hearts (HATE)
Motivation: (What Made Me Check It Out)
*looks at the tankoubon cover and sees the heroine* Ugh, just looking at her makes me disgusted *later sees the bishies surrounding her* Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
Curses: (What Seems to be Bad About It)
Oh gawd... after just a few pages I already wanted to strangle the heroine. An example of a useless and clueless Mary Sue. Ugh, just die.
There's too many shoujo cliches to mention... it was suffocating.
Praises: (What Seems to be Good About It)
Hmm... I suppose the story about the girl's first friend was pretty touching.
And the other main dude hasn't been the usual "I act mean but I'm actually nice" type. He has malicious intentions from the very beginning, and still does (unless he starts falling in love with her =_=)
Bias: (What's Keeping Me Hooked to It)
I really like the "sacrifice" idea... just that.
Fangirl: (What I Love in It)
For the first time, I don't like the white haired dude. O_O
I like the Shunran dude (he almost defeated the white haired dude) and also the white haired dude's assistant (who just pops out of nowhere)
Nostalgia: (What It Reminds Me of)
S.H.L. (EQUALLY ANNOYING!!!!), Kuronoa (soul/memory collecting thing)
Overall:
The girl's first friend was killed of because the mangaka is attempting to make this as tragic as possible... but the bishies have to stay... pfft.
This just sucks... all I see are stereotypes, cliches, and plot convenience (the dude just told her not to wander alone... but she just did eventually! Oh gawd, it's worse than stupid). The art isn't even that pretty.
Oh gawd, this is already so-so, but the heroine just made things ten times worse. I can't stand this.

There are reasons for why the girl is like she is ~ I'm not sure if they got to it in the manga scans or not ~ but she gets a personality as the series goes on ~
However, I don't think it's the kind of personality you'd like xD She's more passive aggressive instead of guns a blazing ~ (but she bitch slaps someone ~ and gets stabbed but that doesn't keep her down ~ 8D)
SPOILERS
Oh, and don't worry about the bishies not dying. They will. EVERYONE pretty much dies by the end o__o
(did they explain why the friend died yet? There is a reason).
That said, I liked Zeele Sacrifice in the beginning, but once cannibalism and God entered the picture, I was like, this is the dumbest shit ever...but I still have my romanc - WAHTHAHAGH;OIAHTOHT HOW CAN YOU DO THAT D8 NO! NO! YOU CANNOT DO THAT! THAT WAS THE ONLY THING KEEPING ME WITH ZEELE SACRIFICE! FFFFFFFF

I don't really mind if a female character isn't a fighting or strong type, it really depends. I don't care if she slapped someone or didn't go down after being stabbed... it depends why T_T
My complain was why the bishies didn't die AS SOON AS the friend did. Save the bishies for last? PFFT.
There was an explanation but I don't buy it. Parents die. Friend die. The bishies don't... at least not yet *rolls eyes*
I like the god and cannibalism idea *_* But with that kind of characters... I dunno T_T

I will try and answer your questions ~
Let's see, she slapped a demon dude because he was being a dick and insulting the person he possessed/killed (saying the person he possessed was an idiot for trying to live and should have just died instead of being a pathetic loser who parents didn't love him and his girlfriend broke his heart yadda yadda - he was being such a prick D:). Yuiko went into the memories of the person who was possessed and saw the struggle he went through so hearing some dick insult the possessed person was too much so she slapped him and shojo speech-ed him xD
And Yuiko was stabbed trying to save someone because the person was weak and was about to be killed but she jumped in the way to take the hit ~ (and she still had enough energy to shojo speech xD)
Now to the people dying ~ the parents died because no one in Japan can drive lol <- based this off most shojo (their deaths were just unfortunate ones). The BFF died because she held a shard of Yuiko's soul. Two of the requirements for Yuiko to acquire her soul back is she needs to have some sort of connection with the individual and she needs to be able to help them with their problems (<- not sure why lol). When Yuiko became friends with the BFF, she satisfied both requirements (she became her friend (1) and the BFF confessed she was lonely because she was unable to make friends but now she has Yuiko so yay ~ (2)). When Yuiko got her shard back (that randomly twinkle scene), this resulted in the friend dying. I can’t remember why exactly off the top of my head but the shard is what is keeping each keeper alive. Once the keeper gives up their shard, they die soon after (the main characters don’t find out about this until the end of the story). It’s a fate the keepers can’t escape. The shards are attracted to Yuiko because she is their “home” pretty much. The shards want to come together and form a whole soul again (this is how Yuiko comes into contact with all these individuals).
With each shard she gets, Yuiko becomes more and more whole – meaning she gets a personality and becomes more alive (right now she’s pretty much just a walking shell (since she has no soul pretty much) – this is why people keep joking in the beginning about how she is like air ).
To the bishies! White Hair bishi was too focused on his goals to realize he had problems until the end of the story. Once he started to fall for Yuiko (1) and believed eating her maybe wasn’t the best path to take, that’s when he finally confronted his problem (2) which resulted in him realizing oh shit I have a piece of her shard and he dies shortly after (in this case, he died because he did not get his “meal” which relates to that cannibalism x God thing I mentioned in my previous comment). Angry childhood friend doesn’t die until the end because even though he has a shard of Yuiko’s soul, he had a spell cast on him that kept him alive. However, by unleashing this spell (supposed to do some cool attack), it will result in his death (and yeah, he unleashed the spell in a final battle thing = dead…but with a twist). So there were reasons the bishies were kept alive in the end.
(Shuran and whatshisface don’t die because they are forgotten pretty much xD)
Even though there were reasons…I don’t know. The story lost air in the end :,< I liked watching Yuiko get a personality and seeing White hair bishi fall for her but…then it just felt rushed when the shota demon appeared :<
Lol long post is long xD
(sorry for blahing so long - this was one of the first manga I've ever read so the information stuck close to me (until the end - I stopped paying attention at the end haha))

Though I admit I find it good that she gets a personality little by little because of the shards collecting. An interesting way to develop a character.
AH, so the parents got into the "parents in an accident tragic shoujo cliche". For the BFF, hhhmmm.... fine, I accept that. But if they didn't see that reason even after so many people died from her shard collecting until the series is almost ending... that's meh.
Hmmm... I accept the reasons on why those two bishies are kept alive. Too bad the other characters were... forgotten.
Ah, I'm fine with long posts xD (Love 'em, actually)
So fine, it's not as bad as it appears to me then. BUT I STILL THINK IT WILL GIVE ME HEADACHES!!! >_<
