Nonsense story

My impression from the 1st volume was this manga definitely well drawing, nice art! And the story quiet good. Then I continued to read it.... Even I bought SDK manga until last volume.
I really like hotaru and shin lei characters.
But really,,, the most absolute vital weakness point here is the battle. The good ones (they who stand on the kyo side) always win, no matter what the reason! Then there they come out new weapon, skill, etc during the fight (Compare before they were enemies of Kyo, --> Lost). And the ending story's sucked.
I sold my collection of this manga few years ago. And I forgot what the ending story was.
Guess it left me no impression... (story), only the art's good.

The art is really good and the story WAS good in the beginning. However i find the end very boring -_-" the plot goes no-where... The end and battles should have been shorter.
But well i love most of the character so i give a 7.

Really good manga

I have to say that I loved this manga from the beginning to the end. It's a very well-drawn manga and the artwork is absolutely amazing. The main character is badass and the storyline is very intressting.

One thing I didn't like about the manga - It was tooooo much fighting, but maybe it's because I'm a girl.

the story was really good, or I thought so in the begginning... the fact that everthing was so mysterious and Kyo seemed to kick as, but the more I read the more I started to realise that I overestimated this manga. The fact that one of the bad guys keept being called "that person" reminded me much of Harry Potter (Voldermort) and the fact that in the end "that person" wasnt even close to be the main evil in this story...

gah, I just felt like the author didnt think throu the story of this manga beforehand, it felt like he just started drawing it and then midways started to throw in strong character for Kyo to kill to fill the pages...

I dont mean that this manga is necessary bad, it is just that the story felt spontaneous and not well thought.. to bad couse it had so much potential. Not one of the best adventure/action mangas out there, but not one of the worst either

the story and drawing are really good ! the mangaka improved through the volumes !! yep yep ^^ and yeah near the end it becomes a bit repetitiv : different characters with different past but the same ingredient/atmosphere... it is not that bad though and i even found it touching ^^ I love the relationship between Yuya and Kyo! ahaha they make an hilarous couple ! smile

The story is pretty good. But I don't like how the manga focuses too much on the supporting characters and evil guys in the latter chapters (especially since I don't like Yukimura...he just pisses me off).
Someone should filter the KyoxYuya and Kyo VS evil guy moments.
That's all I am intrested in. Who needs to know the whole background of some unimportant character, who is going to be killed by Kyo anyway.

It pretty good... at the beginning. But now it's just all Kyo (who i don't like) and almost nothing on the should be main character Kyoshiro (who i do like) SO i don't know what's up with that and I don't know if i'll finish this series. Mister Kyo is supposed to be the super "i'm gonna kick ur @$$" bad guy but it seems like he is a weakling sad I want Kyoshiro!
P.S: the art is good...

I really really enjoyed this series! The art is beautiful and the plot is overall great! (I'm actually one of the few who'd prefer SDK over Kenshin) I like the combination of action, humor and romance (which never gets all fluffy).
The characters are also great.. I love Kyo and his bad ass ways and I really have a soft spot for his 4 warriors (especially Hotaru who is f**king hilarious).

This is definitely one of my favorite mangas!

For the story to be based almost fully on romance the writer kept it from being mushy and fluffy kyo is a real badass hands down one of the best male characters not to even start about was amazingly hot he was lol, i love they way the whole story played out is was rather simple good guys beat the bad guys butt the characters all had there own personalty and were really interesting to read about even characters i didn't like were fun to read about.
I really love the Kyo and Yuya thing is really gave they story a sweet not to talk about funny mix, i didn't like kyoshiro he just seemed depressing butt when ever he was with kyo and yuya that was like the perfect mix of personalty's
if you don't read this you will be missing out on a lot
one of my all time fav mangas!

there is a HUGE difference between the anime and the manga, you cannot even compare it, haha

anyway, i agree too! kyoshiro is way cooler than kyo, is it because we rarely see him?
