I started reading this series, thinking I'd probably hate it, as it appeared to be a lolicon harem series, (two genres I want no part of) and while I can't say it isn't, somehow, I'm hooked.
It's easy to misjudge this series because it's so many things. It attempts romance, action, drama, historical and IMHO none of these elements are particularly great.
What I stuck around for is the moronic and O.P. characters endlessly dicking around. I don't care about the prophecy. I don't care if humans and normals ever get along.
All I want is to see Kaoru harass her friends, Shiho saying terrible thinks with her loveliest face, Hyoubu giving Magi more heartburn, etc. (Aoi and Minamoto can get run over for all I care)
That's right, I stayed for absurd slice of life. I love when charterers have awesome powers and only/mostly use them in mundane and not productive ways.
The following is my opinionated complaints for the series: skip the rest of you want.
The biggest downside of this series is Minamoto. I'm not okay with 10 yr old girls trying to get into his pants. (Obviously meant as gratification for readers identifying with him). I'm so tired if this boring stock character: Mary Sue, tortured but innocent, average looking but brilliant, I'll fix your life with my kindness BS type Mary Sue (yes I called him a Mary Sue twice. Come up with ONE real character flaw and I'll recind my statement). I'm generally not okay with his existence in this series at all and it would be better without him (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION).
The fact that this series seems to be written by a pedo for pedos makes me sad because it's really good otherwise.
Also, anyone saying this is not lolicon can take a smack in the face for every panty shot of an underage girl in volume 1 and we'll see how how many stitches you need.
