I really enjoy the story, however I can't stand one of the primary characters. Specifically, any chapter that has the Major Hyoubo in it, just makes me want to drop the story. Since he is in so many of them, it makes this a pain to read. Skipping the chapters with him in them makes the story much better. Unfortunately it also means you're skipping most of the story. I simply can't give a story that requires you to skip half of it, in order to make it good, a decent rating. The primary characters are good, the story for the most part is entertaining. But when the Major and his loser team shows up, it turns a good story to garbage.

So, I recommend it, but skip any chapter with Hyoubo in it. Those aren't worth bothering with. Well, unless you're one of those who like psychotic murderers.

One of a great series by Shiina Takashi sensei! The story, intrigue, development character, romance, battle, comedy, etc,etc all in this manga. Ok, maybe for the people who doesn't understand this manga's otaku joke will be confuse. But since I do understand, I often laugh out loud. Then again, I like the story which character can grow up. So when I read vol 16, I sream kyaaa.... .
Well, to be honest I don't doubt about this series to be so good, it's Shiina Takashi sensei we talk about. But, the bad side is the series always so long, like with Ghost Sweeper Mikami. Nevermind I truly enjoyed every chapter.

Amazing. The story is intriguing, and the characters really drag you in. Patty and Yoh make a super cute couple, and so do Kaoru and Minamoto. :3 The art at first is crappy, and the characters look a bit old-fashioned and chubby, but the artist improves his style very well, and now the art is to die for.
And let's not forget... RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU'RE A HYOUBU FANGIRL!!! (A million hands raise)

The series is quite good. It start a little crazy but if you keep reading it, you notice that is not only comedy or accion. It becomes a more complex manga.
The Characters are all very well perfiled and originals.
The art is so-so but at least you can clearly say who is who.
The history is good and consecuent. Its very funny but some times is romantic (in a hilarous way a child could think of it) and just a little dramatic some times.
In overal I remomend it to anyone that likes a light, funny and interesting lecture.

Really just a rather unremarkable action manga, but manages to be rescued from that to some degree with a unique take on the child soldier trope in that the children insist on acting like children, and bratty ones at that. Also frequently ruminates on adults' childraising responsibilties, and the situation of those who are different, with some tension about what will happen if the girls aren't accepted by society.
