This manga reminds me a lot of Pandora Hearts, Murasaki not only looks but acts like Alice from PH as well. And both protagnists in Kure-nai and PH have some type of issue with themselves, Oz and Shinkurou.

Is it just me, or does the portrayal of events in this story seem too unrealistic? Maybe I've just been reading too many great manga like Shingeki no Kyojin recently, but this manga seems a bit subpar, with a few plot holes and story inconsistencies that keep on breaking my suspension of disbelief. At least the art is good.

 Cool Harem

I really really LOVE this
Eventhough harem is one of the genre, since I don't like harem genre, but doesn't like others with the same genre, I thought the male protagonist in this series (Shinkurou) was a bit different, because IMO, it's a bit clear that the one he most adores was Murasaki. And I like Murasaki's strong character. Oh, and every girl in this story is really really cool...

I absolutley despise harems!!!
This manga is great, but it makes me want to go and beat the living shit out of the other girls and tell the whores to back the fuck off!(but I can't do that cuz they ain't real and I get even more pissed off)

If you don't mind harems it is a great read though! Not for me though...no harems for me...

I liked the anime, but I like the manga much better. Some people say they don't care for the art style, but I actually prefer it to the anime, especially Murasaki's character design. A lot of the anime was filler (musical episode :/ ) and slice of life, so if you prefer slice of life, watch the anime. If you prefer numerous plot arcs and a good amount of action, read the manga.

Kure-nai is really outstanding. the story is good, but what really made me interested was the character development between each person. . i like the relationship between shinkuro and murasaki, more like a brother and sister feel than a pedo. . murasaki is so cute! wish i had a little sister like that. . anyway its a good read, there are a bit of chapters released so far 30. i hape they continue to keep the story intact. . so i recommend that you try and read it! its fun and not overly dramatic. .

This is excellent one of my faverates the comedy is great the story is intriguing and keeps you coming back for more and the art is well don't.

Also the anime was crap not very good at all would advice giving it a miss but the manga is brilliant and would advise reading it.

I find the manga to be much superior than the anime in terms of plot expanation and narration/storytelling, but less of the slice-n-life feeling to it.

The art style is different, but the sharp contrast really grows in you.

Both the manga and anime are done well, it just depends on your preferences.

 The anime is superior

I felt the anime to be much superior to the manga, the manga is weighed down by stifling shonen staples and poor to non-existent characterisation whereas the more well rounded and "realistic" (i.e. they arent able to withstand a fusillade of handgun fire) characters presented in the anime version were a refreshing break from shonen cliches.

The manga just feels like a failed attempt to re-tell the anime/novel, which is ironic as it predates the anime. The story presented in the manga feels poorly constructed and (at the risk of repitition) hamstrung by genre tropes. The entire Kouhin story arc is quite poorly done in the manga, boiling down to an entirely unnuanced us vs them confrontation. Also on a personal level I found Tetwusan, the giant metal armed bodyguard, to be a poor joke compared to Lin.

Generally I prefer the manga to the anime as it tends to present the superior version of the story. But unfortunately this isnt the case here and so I'd urge you to sample the anime before giving this a try.

The story is great, and the story is much more interesting then the anime. Also the manga was started first before the anime. I was confused as hell when the anime first came out after reading chapters of the anime, because I did not know it was a prequel.
