Angel Bio

Name Meaning: Limone is Lemon in both French, and Italian. Also Limoneades are Nymphs in Roman & Greek myths who were guardian spirits of meadows and flowers.

First Appearance: Tankōbon #1

Sir Limone came to the Human World to search for the reincarnations of Angel Daisy, Angel Lily and Angel Salvia who would be reborn as the "legendary love angels" he found them, and the half-human daughter of Cerezo - Wedding Peach - in the country of Japan, except for Salvia who was living in the United States.

Limone is the one that gave Momoko her transformation compact, he often shows up to help the Love Angels fight the devils. He disguises himself as an upperclassman at Hanazono Junior High while on earth, he goes by the name Yanagiba Kazuya and he is the star striker for the schools association football (soccer) team. He is very popular with all the girls in school and at the start of the story Momoko, Yuri and Hinagiku all have crushes on him.

Hints are dropped to the reader that there is more to Yanagiba-senpai than there seems, he wakes up when a room full of people had their life-energy absorbed by Jama-p, he notices things other humans don't and he and Scarlett seem to know each other quite well - he even has a private discussion with her in which he tells her to not jump to conclusions about Fūma Yōsuke, and talks about the devils with her (the fact that Yōsuke isn't totally human - which had been implied previously - also comes up in this conversation).

We see visual confirmation of Limone being Yanagiba-senpai when he is blasted by Uragano in Tankōban #5 and is hit so hard that he transforms from his angel form to his human one in the arms of Angel Lily, who's memories of her past life have just returned. In her past life she and Limone were lovers, when Scarlett takes him to her house to recover Yuri watches over him till he awakens and they are finally able to be together again. After the final battle with Reine Devila is over Limone chooses to stay with Yuri in the Human World, rather than to return to the Angel World.
