MANGA + COMICS
Beautiful creatures called "Alichino" grant any wish to those who find them--but at a price! A young lady searching for an Alichino wants to bring her brother back to life. She meets Tsugiri, a handsome young man who she thinks is an Alichino. While Tsugiri turns out to be a mere mortal, he does have a mysterious connection with these rare creatures--a connection that brings him and those around him grave danger!
Tsugiri
His name literally means 'binding companion.' Tsugiri is a boy who has a strong dislike for Alichinos, and possesses the power to kill them. His mother was killed -- along with their entire town -- by Alichino. He alone was saved -- by Hyura, and then put into Ryoko & Myobi's care.
Myobi
Her name literally means 'beautiful darkness.' She is an Alichino, and has white hair & red eyes. She is a protector of the Kusabi, and loves Ryoko very much. She and Ryoko saved Tsugiri when he was a child.
Ryoko
A powerful man whom Myobi calls her 'master.' Ten years ago, he rescued Tsugiri from a near-death incident.
Yui
Yui is a male Alchino and the ruler of an entire city that is in his thrall. He is a different sort of Alichino in that he lets his human targets live on and worship him, instead of eating their souls.
Kouyu Shurei
Shurei-sensei won the prestigious Cobalt Illustrator's Award in 1995. Her career has included illustrations for several series of novels. She also drew doujinshi with the 'Shi no Tenshi' (Angel of Death) circle. Alichino is her first major manga.

I went on wikipedia and found out some horrible news! "Unfortunately Alichino has been put on an indefinite hiatus, due to the writer breaking her hand in 2001, leaving people to wonder if the series will be continued, and when. It has since been confirmed in the third Alichino tankoubon that there will be a fourth and that it will probably be the last; however, as of 2005, the author was still writing the Japanese version."

Alichino has amazing, unique artwork and an interesting, creative story. The toning is good, and so is the line art. However, the panels are arranged in a way that, in parts, can be hard to desifer which panel comes next. I love this series, however it stops at volume three, and there was supposed to be one more volume.
