Description
From ANN: What with humans killing, exorcising, and otherwise getting rid of them all the time, monsters and demons have become endangered species. Someone has to look out for them, and that's what Yamada Shintarou is training to do: he's going to become a monster guardian. Armed with a two-by-four and a talking rabbit, he goes out to fight the demon hunters, hoping to defeat enough of them to get his monster guardian license.
It is while he is doing this that he meets Nao, a normal (if unusually pretty) high school girl, and instantly falls in love... with her neck. Now Yamada has a new mission in life: to protect Nao, and keep anyone--monster, ghost, demon hunter, or otherwise--from getting in the way of his view of her nape.
This is one of the most insane mangas out there, and I mean that in a good way. As with any other Murakami manga the story is a mess, the characters completely unpredictable and the art wierd. But who cares when you've got such a sick and brilliant sense of humor as she does. You are litterally never bored.
Sadly Murakami never finished it, which sucks... but who knows maybe she'll take it up later.
I really like how the plot was going. I mean, the characters were funny and the dad of the main character Shintarou is smoking HOT. However, just two volumes didn't solve anything. It was like eating air; you get nothing in the end. No romance, no conclusion. It was like if a volcano exploded and suddenly stop in midair. I wasted a hour checking it out and reading it. So frustrating!
From my expierence, the author is writing other manga and takes a hiatus off certain titles or decides to discontinue the serioes after prolonged writers block. Since there has been no genuine status on this series, its hard to tell which it is. But it really was going somewhere, I have to agree since I bought both volumes and enjoyed it very much!
I own the series and volume two ends in a cliffhanger. It just doesn't seem like the series is finished. Did someone just edit it wrongly or is it really over? Please tell me it's not because I really like the series and I want to find out what happens.
