Description
While many of us would probably scream at even the thought of a ghost being near us, Freshman Nimura Kensuke just thinks of it as a common everyday thing, seeing as how he has the uncanny ability to see so many of them on a daily basis. Things soon heat up for him when he meets a girl who changes his life from then on. Her name's Kagura, and she has the power to summon a mighty "spirit devourer"--otherwise known as a "Ga-rei"--called Byakuei. So, what's Nimura to do? Chase down the evil spirits and have Kagura summon the Ga-rei to devour them, of course! Now, come feast on their adventures like some ravenous Ga-rei!

First half, or even two thirds were good. Nice pacing, good characters etc.
Last arc screws up whole picture. Yes, ending was good enough, but the plot wandered off in weird direction, pacing got thrown off and romantic sub-plot was crippled.

If I didn't know any better I would be able to swear this came from Shounen Jump. I don't understand all the high scores but maybe people just like this same generic formula that Jump has trademarked.

The main character is one of those love at first dolts who does anything for this girl he just meet because she is pretty and from there he becomes the generic hot head that will protect her no matter what despite not even knowing her and his main character powers allow him to do it.

There is no character development for anyone in this which is what ruins it, aside from the lame main character, and the girl is pretty lame as well. I really don't know what to say to describe this without getting long winded, but if you know the main character I described then you have read this 1000 times over.

It was a good manga with a mind grabbing plot, but I feel that the main character (Ken-chan) did not get a big enough role. He always ends up letting Kagura deal with it all. Just once, he should have went up the antagonist and sliced their head off in a instead of getting pummeled and letting his girlfriend kill the villain. By the end of the manga, Kagura ends up taking his lead role. This manga is good and all, but if you want a manga where the main character actually does something other than talk, this manga might turn you away.

Well, it's over but ended was way too anti-climatic. Series started great, liked the background story, action popped off the page and few chatacters that you can take interest in but around volume 6 i wasn't feeling it anymore, like the magic disappered from the manga somehow. Well, the only thing i can't complain about is the art, loved the details the author had in the art.

In any case, i can only recommend this manga if you like exorcism of demons and the supernatural but your interest might go down.

this new yomi chick really pisses me off. "oh, he killed my daddy, they were people once too, oh woe is me" they're fuggin ghosts now, get the fuck over it. And whats with the lightsaber? other than that, pretty decent.
oh and yet again, another writing that discriminates against the darkness.

IMO this was great, until chapter 32 anyway.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
After Kagura loses her memory the manga seems to drop off. Kagura goes from being a strong female lead to becoming an unstable easily manipulated moron.


I feel that what happens in chapter 32 and the chapters following it put the manga into a 'milk it for all it is worth' style. Chapter 32 would have made an awesome ending to the manga and instead it is continued in such a way that makes you hate one of the main characters.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
Kagura is slowly regaining her memory but only because she is being manipulated by some new obviously shounen-esque cliche 'stronger that the previous bad guy group bad guy group.' She also seems to be willing to risk the lives of millions so that she does not have to suffer the pain of losing a friend, even though she is aware of a potentially 'perfect ending' situation.


I really hope this series turns around and fast because it is going from good shounen to cliche/standard shounen very fast. Also considering the main character of the manga is Kensuke and not Kagura, it is kind of annoying how he has taken the back seat for almost all of the manga.

I am rating this a 5 but I will continue to follow it in hopes that the author realizes he is killing a good manga and replacing it with one that serves no other purpose but to have a spot in a weekly magazine till the end of time.

Yo this manga is very good and i tell you, just try it.
Even though Kensuke the main is weak (NEED TO GET STRONGER....THE MANGAKA SHOULD LET HIM LEARN THIS DIMENSION CUT THING) its still a very good manga.
The Anime is also very good...(pretty art etc.) but i think they should make a anime of the actual manga that would be great

and for the guy that's below me, Yomi came back or not is still a mystery. the girl who looks like her is called Izumi, though she has some connection with Yomi, but there hasn't any proof for her to be Yomi yet.

and that's not the famous seven blade sword or whatsoever, that's just a double blade sword or a twin blade. (Serge from chrono cross used something similar). also, seven blade is no where famous, famous would be considered legendary, like murakumo or kusanagi. murakumo fits ga-rei more for spiritual stories.
