People are being so harsh about the heroine! She isn't that bad at all! I actually love how she isn't the yamato nadeshiko-type. She isn't cute at all either lol, and that's one thing that usually annoys me about manga females sometimes--that they're supposed to be tear-inducingly "kawaii."
The fact that she is the most useless ninja ever is really endearing to me, and I think that the humor and the seriousness of the story line are really well balanced so far.

I just started reading Tsuki no Shippo today and was shocked to realize that I'm already nearing the end of volume 3 bc I was so wrapped up in it. Soooo still reading it (after all there are 15 volumes--yikes!) so I'll make sure to update my review as I go along smile


*Update (vol.6 chap.36) : I really do not like the way that Hanzou keeps saying "lose weight to be my bride." Buddy, eff you!! Rant complete.

I enjoyed this series. it was way better than expected and the artwork was beautiful. I thought i would hate the heroine because of her personality (crybabyish) but she got so much better when you find out she is actually useful. i would recommend this to people who like light but very romancey manga. the last story with momozu was super cheesy. i didnt like that one as much.

This manga was quite a breath of fresh air! I was skeptical at first because i'm not exactly a person who reads adventure/action/historical manga but i certainly dont regret reading this. I loved everything about it: characters, plot, drawing, development, how everything was resolved and the ending. Although it's 15 volumes, it felt so short and was really addicting! Usagi was kinda annoying and useless at times but that also develops later on. Don't hesitate to read this manga because of the many volumes and don't give up on it because in the end, i guarantee you'll have no regrets =).

P.S- when you finish Tsuki no Shippo, read Tsuki no Toiki after becsuse its part of it

Tsuki no shippo is a good manga. Its a good read. the story started as as ur typical shoujo and later on showed quite a character development. the Usagi(main lead) was not likeable at first, her character development made her more likeable than at first. yet, i cant say she's my favorite heroine of all. The art is good and clean.

On the negative side it suffers from the "harem syndrome" as i call it where many male characters fall in love with Usagi. a bit irritating to me. Also, there were parts where the author could have explored it more. She lead up to it, but dint flesh it out enuf. otherwise, those issues would have helped the manga more.

that being said, its a good read. i rate it as 8.

I love this series. I wish there are more manga like this. Although i am biased since im a fan o the mangaka. But even if im not, i still would love this. I love hanzou! I love the historical plot, even if im not japanese! You would still find it interesting. And i love how the male lead fell inlove with usagi. I also love Usagi's little side kick. He's just so cute. Mannn i love this manga. I wish i havent read it and just starting to read it so i could enjoy it again. Definitely one of my faves. I usually forgot the proagonists' names after finish reading it but in this manga, i still remember their names.

As with most shoujo leads the char is pretty annoying, but thats not my main problem with this story. it was great when it was just a simple romantic comedy with ninjas, but then the author wanted to make everything effing dramatic. DRAMADRAMADRAMADRAMA and not one bit of it was any good. To top it off the author seems to have no commitment to the crappy drama, and lets everything just go off to unrealistic good outcomes. people with 3 year vendettas, and grief over their suicided wife just up and forget their problems cuz she said so. All of the forced grief and sadness is almost totally ignored. overall from the middle up until the final 2 chapters this story is a flat out train wreck that deserves nothing short of being burned. Fortunately the final time skip was rather entertaining/romantic(great to see the little kids outcome, as well as the happy creepy glare family... those little girls haunt me...), and the beginning half was funny/sweet so it saved itself. Overall i would suggest just skimming through the last half.

I'm gonna make this simple the girl is a stupid useless excuse for a humanbeing , all she does is eat sleep, cry and relie on her female dogs , the girl acted like a complete idiot. . . .I feel sorry for her childhood friend having to carry the retard on his back for 2 years and the outcome is her . . Im actuAlly apualed over the fact that people can't say how they really feel about this , I mean if you look at every comment you will see that there bad but are but in a nice way whyy do that ?? ... I really want to express my anger but I can't becuz of the no swearing policy !! But I just think this manga sucked I really didn't like the summery but read it cuz of the reviews but after the skipping and finally getting chapter 42 I quit and skipped to the end and ...I'm happy I didn't continue . Anyway I love this so if you haven't heard of this and your desperate read crimson hero its great unlike this . . . Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time

when i started reading this, it was pretty good and funny. i can tolerate her stupidity... until the middle of the series.... she is just too stupid and cry way too much. i like it when she was strong and independent but she revert back =.=
besides my complaints about Usa, i like all the other characters and the story. i hate the ending though..

I don't know why everyone is saying that this manga is bad and all, but I find it okay! But of course, I never really liked how Usagi act. In the beginning, I actually enjoyed seeing how she acts, especially the part where Mamezou was bullied and how she protected him and yelled at Suzune, it was very nice! But when it comes to Goemon when he was hurting, she kept on telling Hanzo about "Goemon this, Goemon that" IT'S SO FRIGGIN IRRITATING!!!!!!

I bet I would even act like Hanzo if someone I like does that to me. And after that, during the climax of the story, I feel like slapping her when she says that she wanna marry Yukimaru, JUST because she reminisces of how Yukimaru has been so nice to her and all, and she decided to yell it out loud. What a fool. So foolish and acts as she likes. I thought she has grown into a strong character after that war. Ugh. The storyline is good, don't get me wrong. I just dislike how Usagi acts like sometimes. She's strong sometimes, but then she'll fall back to being a stupid girl as well.

Mind you, I gave it a 9.5 because of the BISHIES!!!! Oh gawd. Hanzo is such a friggin' hottie. Oh right, and before you read this, make sure you read the prequel to get to know the characters like Sara and blonde hair Hanzo. But the Hanzo from this main story and the Hanzo from the prequel seems like a complete different character. I mean, how come the Hanzo in this manga acts like as if he's a very decent guy but in the prequel, he acts like as if he's the carefree type, I mean, how come he can accept the marriage of him and Sara so quickly without seeing her when in this manga, he rejects the marriage proposal with Usagi so quickly. I find this very weird. It's like a change of character between the Hanzo in this manga and in the prequel one. Whatever. As long as the ending in this story is good.
