Angel Sanctuary
=A Saga by Yuki Kaori=
The year is 1999. God is missing, and Apocalyse is coming unless the fallen angel Alexiel can reawaken and prevent it.
Alexiel used to be one of the high-ranking Angels in Heaven and she
was said to be in love with God. But God prefered her twin brother Rociel. Because of that she joined the Demons and led a revolt against Heaven. In that war she confronted Rociel who had made her promise long ago that she would kill him when he starts to change (that change is in fact that he will be slowly consumed by insanity and his body will grow younger). Alexiel could not bring
herself to kill him so she sealed him away instead. After
that she got captured. As punishment for her defiance to God, Alexiel's body was sealed in crystal, while her soul will always reincarnate as a human being that will die a young and violent death, over and over again. Always an outcast from society, despised and rejected....
This time Alexiel's soul have been reincarnated into a troubled teenage boy named Setsuna Mudou. He is the Messiah prophesied to save Humanity in the Black Book of Revelation. However, Setsuna does not care for the coming battle between Heaven and Hell. Instead, he cares only to be with his love, his blood sister Sara.

There are countless other characters in this complex plot. The manga is really worth the reading. And also check out the OVA, which even though does not cover all the plot found in the manga, it is still pretty cool! Beautiful artwork.
