Well ... it's a macho action series. It's probably a fairly good one, if you're into that sort of thing. Lots of ridiculous matrix-sword-fighting stuff and manly posturing. I still don't understand how cutting bullets in half actually achieves anything - it just means that there's two chunks of metal flying towards you at high velocity, but y'know ... in manly-mysterious-action-hero-world of course it works.

Anyway, not really my thing, but I can see why people like it.

After reading all of the positive reviews given for this manga I decided I had to read it. I was quite un-interested in the manga when I began reading, only after about 20 chapters did I finally start enjoying it. The story is decent, it's not a great story, it's not creative or new, but it's enough to keep you going. But I'm guessing that I'm not the only one here that doesn't read UDDP for the story. I read it to see where this romance is going, but mainly I read it to watch Mamoru kick ass and take names. He is an expert in the "ass-kicking" category in my opinion. ^.^

this is the best manga ever! seriously. the plot just drives you mad with anticipation for the next ones and the art is really really good!!!
and the girl in me is looking forward to mamoru and haruka's relationship in the future...;p

I started to read this because of the art but man, if the reason is the art only, a reading material ain't worth wasting much time. On the side note, I rarely read action or seinen for the reason that manga fights scenes/panels most of the time left me hanging for details so I rather like to see the fight scenes animated. In this case, the fights scenes were drawn effectively that someone like me who shy away from this genre got engaged till I can't control the urge to read chapter after chapter. Pack with action, tactics/strategies told in here keeps me going until I reach the latest chapter scanlated so far which is 96. Truly, when art and story merged together produces an excellet reading material to get one hooked that you can imagine. High recommended!

I skipped some parts because it got boring but those parts were only the side character's dialogues. Other than that, I'm satisfied with the manga. Enough action and romance to keep me reading
I am incredibly fascinated to see that all the main females are so strong and independent! Recommended!

I thought that it wasn't going to be good from the description because it sounded somewhat cliche to me. However i gave it a shot anyways and fell in love with the art, the plot,the action, the characters ,everything is just so Good!
If you haven't started reading it do it!lol
but seriously its good

Fast paced action and incredible storyline, this manga is definitely one that action manga lovers should not miss. Although in the beginning one predicts that there will be romantic feelings arising from the two main characters, so far there has only been endless fighting. However, it's not boring because Mamoru's abilities continues to surprise the reader. The side characters have depth and are complex; to the point that the reader sympathizes them as well. It's quite surprising that Haruka's ability as a precog can become false in the future and the mangaka clearly explains how there could be a precog in this day and age. (the mangaka really did some research.)

I recommend it to definitely males but females as well. For I am one, yet I appreciated this manga very much.

This story has it all : a seriously cool storyline, beautifully done action scenes, an incredible cast of well-designed and well-rounded characters, fabulous art (and I mean FABULOUS here), drama, comedy, and a little bit of romance. It has something for everyone. "Until Death Do Us Part" moves at lightening speed. There's never a dull moment. It's like a perfectly done action film in manga form. The twist in the beginning of the story is great. I certainly didn't expect it, and while it could have come off as strange or creepy, the author pulled it off with class and intelligence.

The two main characters, Haruka and Mamoru, are perfect foils for each other. They see each other very differently, as you'll find as you read the series. On the outside, it may seem like it's been done before, but it's never been done like this. Yes, Haruka is a little girl, but she's smart, serious, and useful as all get-out. She's nothing like your average anime/manga kid. She doesn't whine and rarely if ever cries (unless she has a seriously good reason to). Her old life has been obliterated, and because of her gift (or curse), she can never, ever, be safe. She becomes a prize worth dying for. Even with all that, she's still a just an innocent kid. She enjoys playing with friends, cooking, and going to school. Her power gives her strength, but she's no ninja bad-ass. She needs Mamoru.

Mamoru is awesome. Yes, he's a blind swordsman, and we've seen that before, but it's who Mamoru is (and not what) that makes him so cool. He's an incredible fighter, but he's not invincible. He needs help sometimes. Haruka and Mamoru's partner, Igawa, as well as others, come together to fill a great supporting role. Mamoru isn't the type of guy who'd let a little girl fend for herself against the bad guys, but it doesn't hurt that he has a beef with those bad guys himself. He seems like a good guy, but it may not have always been so. He's got demons of his own to fight, and those are slowly revealed as the story goes on.

The rest of the characters are just as good. As the cast grew, I, like other readers, became worried that it would be too much for the author to handle. My fears were unfounded. I've never seen a large cast done so well. Every character has an interesting back story, but the author's real skill lies in being able to fit that back story in with the main plot, and to do it succinctly and beautifully. He never gives it all away at once, but throws us bits and pieces to hold our attention. Each character is unique and complicated, with multifaceted personalities and relationships. I found myself believing in and caring about every single one of the characters in "Until Death Do Us Part".

For me, this series is a 10/10. It deserves way more love than it gets. I'd love to see it licensed in the U.S. by a company that will keep up with the Japanese releases, and do it well. Until then, the scanlation teams that have been working so hard on it have been getting the word out and doing a fabulous job. Please, if you like this series as much as I do, tell your friends and family to pick it up. Buy copies and support the mangaka. It's worth it. ^_^

Interesting plot, interesting character, nice art, full of epic action and sometimes there are also comedy and romance theme. What else do you expect from an action manga?

About the story, the guy is kinda like Neo in matrix use a kanata but anyway and like the idea of a blind swordman. The side characters is the same set as Hollywood hero movie, so there computer guys support a main character, a beautiful and strong woman, an independence captain, an outsider policeman... The idea is not new but it was built very well

Love the Haruka+Hijikata tag team....very cool pair. They're so in sync, it's like their minds are connected. It's too bad she's still a little girl though, else they'll make a great couple. Oh well, that's something to look forward to in the future, right?
