Gr 7 Up—Sakura has always been forbidden to look at the moon. Without knowing why, she has followed the rule until one unfortunate night. Thinking of her impending arranged marriage, she happens to glance at it. Almost immediately, a demon attacks, and she learns she is the granddaughter of a mysterious moon princess. Along with this knowledge, Sakura inherits her grandmother's magical sword, which enables her to destroy demons. The mediocre story line is combined with slightly more detailed illustrations than usual in manga novels. The side panels are rarely pertinent to the story; in fact, they're usually pointless and annoying. Avid fans of the genre may enjoy this book, but it will have a limited audience.—Carol Hirsche, Provo City Library, UT
