“ Oh my god, so you’ve read it too? Idk if we talked about this before but. This is awesome. I think my reaction now would be quite different too if I reread it again. What’s the plot of Earthian? Never heard it before. “
Yup, I’ve read it too! My friend introduced me to it by way of telling me never to watch the OVA because of all the “bad stuff”...which meant I’d probably like it. I started reading the manga before I saw the anime, which is good, otherwise I’m not sure I would have gotten into it.
It’s been ages since I read Earthian, too.  It’s an older one, started in the late 1980s, I think, by the same mangaka who later did Loveless (which I saw and still don’t know wtf I watched...haven’t read it).Â
It’s a few volumes long. Basically, humanity’s future is in the hands of angels, who have to collect positive and negative tallies on humanity. The angels are paired, one pro-human, one negative-human. So it’s about some angels hiding on Earth, and one angel in particular getting up in people’s business.Â
There’s also this overarching plot of a kind of cancer among angels turning their wings black, and the aforementioned pro-human angel being an outcast for his black wings.Â
I remember it struck me pretty heavily. Enough that I haven’t been able to go back and read it again, yet.Â
