| Good for a single volume story by calstine on July 4th, 2009, 2:55am |

The two stories are nice enough considering the length of the manga. The themes are Mizuki Hakase's specialties; makeshift-family stuff, mixed with the usual supernatural elements.
The art style is unique to her, of course, but unlike in Demon Ororon, in Baku it is actually better; less weird, prettier and more appealing, without losing its originality.
Overall- Not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but worth a quick try if you're looking for something to bridge the gap between any other longer series you may be reading.

| Beautiful Art and Story by BLame8008 on January 9th, 2008, 7:33pm |

Definitely beautiful art and story. Though the art style leans more towards very clean, edgy lines. Very thin, angled characters. Something some will like but others will not.
I like the storylines because it has a cynical sort of hopeless and hopeful at the same time. Kind of like, you can't help what you're feeling because that's what life is all about. A favourite mangaka of mine.

| Nothing less from Hakase by ~Kuri~ on December 28th, 2007, 8:00am |

I really love her art style myself. Both the stories in the manga I think should of been longer though. Mephisto should of been a complete one shot and Baku really should of been a series.

it's not like those manga that are really heart-warming or those that leaves a huge impact/impression, but it's definitely worth reading. the stories are very sweet and the characters are really cute!!
