okay I give up . . . that isn't telling you anything.
[SPOILER= Just in case.] Sister red is about a girl who gets killed and is revived by half of Lady Scarlets heart. This heart endows her with fire abilities, the only kind of abilities that can truly kill a second generation median.
First gen Medians are immortal, but second gens are not but either way 2nd gens can regenerate and therefore don't die by anything but fire.
The father of lady scarlet made a pact with the devil that she would be eternally beautiful. After the Towns people notice she hasn't aged in over 20 years, they kill her by fire. Somehow all of the townspeople are touched by the flames/ash and gain the curse, they too do not age. Lady Scarlets heart is the only thing that survives the blaze. Alice and the first gens must guard this heart from the 2nd gens. Half is in Alice and now the other half is in the main chara. [/SPOILER]
That actually doesn't spoil anything. It's all backround stuff. Kinda like kenshin's past is all common knowlege.
I would also like to point out that there is some really graphic violence and gore in this manga. There is a dead body in a chair with no head and not much in between the shoulders, you see this about 3-4 times in the same scene.
Speculation as to why it is *only* 13 and up: The characters do a lot of talking, I mean it, a lot.
