Fanlisting?A fanlisting is a giant list of fans from all around the world of a particular person, place, thing, ect. In this case, the relationship between the characters Sara & Setsuna Mudou. :)Tenshi Kinryouku?  Angel Sanctuary is a 20 volume manga series created by Kaori Yuki. The manga has also been released in a deluxe A6 size in Japan which is 10 volumes long (and has very pretty covers!). The manga is currently being released in the US by Viz. A three episode OAV was also released in 2000. In the US, the OAV was released on a single DVD by Central Park Media. Besides the manga and oav, two artbooks, two postcard books, and the Angel Box (which contains a clock, a tapestry, 39 original illustrations, 8 postcards, a sticker, a cross choker, and is signed by Yuki; if you ever get the chance to pick it up and can afford it you will not be sorry. I own it and adore it!) have also been released. NOTE: The following section contains text and picture spoilers. If you want to live with blissful ignorance scroll quickly (but if you're here, I am assuming you know this next bit anyway...)
Sara & Setsuna? Sara & Setsuna are the two main characters in Angel Sanctuary. They are teenagers and siblings and much more gets us into spoiler territory (well as spoilery as one can get considering we know most of the following after the first few volumes of the manga). Read on at your own risk.
Sara & Setsuna are not your ordinary siblings. Main difference being they're in love with each other.
Alexiel is doomed to live one tragic life after another eternally. Newest tragic life? Setsuna Mudou, teenage boy in love with his sister. To complicate things even more (is that even possible? :o) Alexiel has twin brother, the Inorganic Angel Rociel. He loves Alexiel (and yes, more of that love love that goes beyond sibling fondness). Granted, lots of people love Alexiel, but that takes us a bit off point. CodesDonate a code? Join/Update/MembersTo join the fanlisting please click here.To update your information please click here.

Not a sibling appropriate love. A 'eternal soulmate, I'll die and go to the afterworld to save you' kind of love. Not like what you have with your brother and sister? Yeah didn't think so :P Moving back into the serious and angsty waters we tread with these characters and their relationship now. Setsuna knows he loves his sister more than he should, in fact he has always known this. This knowledge leads him to attempt to distance himself from her as much as possible shortly into the series. He does this because he knows his love is not a "good" thing and he doesn't want to damn Sara along with himself. 
Well, as one would imagine, things are super complicated for our dear male lead. He loves his sister, his mother seems to hate his guts (or at the very least is onto his feelings and wants him to literally rot in hell for them if she has anything to say about it) and Sara is not helping him stay distanced. You see, Sara loves spending time with her brother, and as we soon find out, she too loves Satsuna more than society and their mother thinks she should. Given this new information, Setsuna's will falters and he runs away with Sara (you see he couldn't let their mother take her away from him to England, could he? Especially not when Sara was so desperate to stay!). England? Yeah, once his mom got actual proof that Setsuna couldn't control himself (see picture above) she quickly decided she would move to England with Sara to protect her and save her soul.
Setsuna catches Sara at the airport before she leaves and Sara very much in love decides to run off with him. As expected, while they are together they end up making love and have quite a bit of fun (they're in a new place and no one knows who they are so they can act like boyfriend and girlfriend openly without any fear. For awhile, the couple appear to have a 'happy ever after' in the making. Sadly, fate (or more acurately God and some not so nice angels) delay that ending.
God and angels? Oh yeah, did I not mention yet that Setsuna isn't your run of the mill average teenage boy? He happens to be the reincarnation of the Organic Angel Alexiel. Alexiel, much like Setsuna dared to have a forbidden love, you see, she was in love with God. For this she was eternally punished and that punishment is exactly the crux of Setsuna's current earthly woes. 
Why bring up any of this? Well, Rociel is meddling with Setsuna's life because of Alexiel and this leads to Sara dying an untimely death right in Setsuna's arms :( Setsuna is devistated and ends up killing himself with Alexiel's sword so that he can go to the afterlife and bring Sara back. As one might guess (since this all happens at the beginning of the manga and we then have about 17 more volumes to go), Setsuna's plan is not without some hitches along the way. In fact, his trip through the underworld and what happens after it is one of the things that makes this series so amazing. More info on that journey and what ends up happening to Sara & Setsuna at the end of the series is coming soon (as it is, this has got to be one of the biggest about sections I have ever made for a fanlisting, plus, it has pictures! *_*)
