its alright..
it really confusing..
but just try reading it

It's not as confusing as other people say it may be if you read it thoroughly. It's good... very good, and I love Ai Yazawa's work. She is an incredible mangaka and she really inspires me.

This has a unique way of viewing the after life, heaven, hell, and apparitions. I liked how the ending isn't as sugarcoated, but rather a bitter-sweet closing to the whole manga. Adam gets to speak and it definitely answered some of the questions I had.

Sometimes I wonder how Ms. Yazawa got all these ideas because they're just so unique. All of her works are amazing, and she definitely is my favorite manga artist and author. I love her.

Art is good, story it's as enjoyable as in Gokinjo, it's deeper than ParaKiss (especially if you watched the ParaiKss anime only. They cut the events of the final two volumes there, right when and where Ai Yazawa packed the full punch, meaning-wise and emotion-wise), and the dramatic and rock music bits can be considered as an appetizer to Nana - just in a more concise form, but they're still effective -.

Considering its (relative) shortness, it gives you a good cast of characters, each one with a different personality and with some unexpected facets being revealed ; it has a good plot and a nice, moving ending, with a meaningful message, just slightly bittersweet. It has dark and sad moments, and the aforementioned rock music elements the artist developed later in Nana. In this case, though, I find the characters to be more likeable than in Nana (the classmates-turned-detectives kids are especially adorable): because, yes, there are the adults , namely Eve/Mizuki, but the kids are equally important for the development to the story and for leading the story to its solution. The interweaving of their POV is very interesting and enjoyable too.
Moreover, you have temporal plane shifts, love stor(ies), a bit of a detective story, and supernatural twists. A lot of elements, but handled very well in every aspect IMO.

A great work indeed

at 1st i thought that lil hotaru will end up with miura..+_+..
huh!!but its still cool~theres some parts of d story dat gave me a goosebump..hehe..
r u sure this not a lil bit horror?

To say I like it is to say nothing it's 6 am and I just ended the story. It's just brilliant and not the trivial subject SPOILER

I think the mangaka did a great job with the end. The better ending would definately ruin the story and such bitter sweet story doesn't need it. I wish the has more sach mangas it;s the best

At first, I was sure Kagen no Tsuki would turn out to be yet another version of Romeo and Juliet (only with added Japanese mysticism), but - to my great pleasure and surprise - this was definitely not the case.

Plot-wise it's worthy of ~6.5/10 - the twists, despite being nicely executed, were fairly predictable, and I knew halfway through the first volume itself who exactly Adam and "Eve" were to each other, but what really makes this manga special are the characters. Adam and "Eve" are your typical star-crossed lovers, but the four children (and their elementary-school crushes) were absolutely precious, the supporting cast was likeable, and the main couple redeem themselves spectacularly in the end by taking the exact opposite route that Romeo and Juliet did. I loved how the themes of friendship and family were subtly pushed forward, placing them on an even keel with romantic love among the things that bear a special significance in a person's life -- a simple truth that I never expect - though am always happy to see - in a romance book/show.

Tired of "love conquers all" but still in love with the romance genre? Like a bit of mystery and a dash of supernatural in your love stories? Have no objection to (sensible) child protagonists? Then Kagen no Tsuki's definitely worth your time.

I like Yazawa's works in general because she can draw persons and she can create characters which feel so realistic to me. Her way of telling stories is just great and the flow of this work was perfect. The length of the manga itself and of each chapter was exactly like I wanted it to be. I think Yazawa is a really amazing author and I hope she will start to draw, again.

Wow, just wow.

I'm captivated by this. It was surreal. I had chills while reading this. It was so magnificent that it made me tremble.

Art: 10. I have been a fan of Yazawa-sensei for so long. There's something in her art that it makes the manga so realistic, so beautiful like it was a picture and by reading it makes the picture move. It's just amazing.

Characters: 10. Realistic. I've known people like that. Crazies about love. This manga welcomes the readers into the real world. Where people are serious, mature not like those other manga which will just make you think "Are they freaking aliens?"

Story: 10+. Wow. just wow. Refreshing, not your typical tragedy/psychological manga. The amount of chapters is just enough and the ending was genius. I always want to know how Adam feels through the entire manga.

YAZAWA Ai-sensei. Thanks for bringing us such masterpiece.

I thought the way the story was told was really nice, the way yazawa weaved all the characters together and interlocked their connections.
The overall atmosphere is dark and depressing, and the themes are realistic. The only downside is that its a bit confusing, as it is supernatural, and you're dying to find out the ends to the mystery. After reading more of Ai Yazawa's works, all i can say is that i love ai yazawa and really hopes that she gets better!
BTW for those who don't like tragic endings, don't worry because its not exactly tragic.. its happy but the theme is tragic.

Horrible. HORRRIBLE. i mean it was a good story & all dont get me wrong.. But this just gives you the most depressing kind of feelings after your done reading it. It tugs at your heart ;-;
This should be marked tragedy.. Don't read this unless your ready for a mysterious/tragic type of story.
