“For me, Avesso is one of the most detailed and respected romantic and psychological constructions in the Saint Seiya fandom. The story stands out as it is not just a common romance, but rather an intimate reconstruction of the life of the Aries Knight from a more human perspective, with an unprecedented and very rich psychological depth. The title "Avesso" serves as the central thesis of the story. In the original manga and anime, the Gold Saints are mystical, almost untouchable figures defined by duty, sacrifice, and cosmic power. The fanfic proposes to show the "opposite side" of that coin: the fragilities, the profound loneliness of living isolated in Jamir or guarding the zodiac houses, and the psychological weight of carrying the fate of the planet on one’s shoulders. One of the most interesting aspects of the work is the geographical and cultural setting. The author reconstructs the mystical scenery of Jamir, the mountains of Tibet with its local traditions, and the rigid, solemn atmosphere of the Sanctuary in Greece. The inclusion of small details from everyday life, like interacting with little Kiki, the other knights, and Mu's responsibilities as a restorer, provides a sense of realism that organically expands the original universe. Avesso is a work that is introspective, poetic, and emotionally mature. It shines in balancing the mysticism and typical battles of Saint Seiya with the intimate drama and character development. It is a must-read for those looking to see the knights, especially Mu of Aries, not just as warriors in golden armor, but as men capable of loving, hesitating, and finding healing in another person’s affection. PS: The humorous scenes are surprising and UNFORGETTABLE! lol”
