I'm not a fan of Chie Shinohara, but I must admit that this one is pretty good! Clever and lovely artstyle, and a very gripping, breath-taking yet sexy plot. The main chars are likable.

Shinohara is extremely skillful when it comes to supernatural power and horror theme. (And romance still finds a way XD)

Well, I intened to put a warning in the Description but on second thought, I put it here.
For those who're chicken-hearted like me please be carefull when reading this manga (and any other mangas of Shinohara-sensei, since she's famous for her horror mangas. Well, Anatolia Story is an exception). There're blood and cannibalistic scenes all over the manga. I was really shocked when seeing those scenes. I mean, not the vitality absorb eating-style like Soko but the man-eating style of the oni, they really eat human's meat (blw).
When Soko was forced to eat human and make oni, then after 3 months, she created a bunch of human-eating oni, I did really want to throw up.
If there're no "horror" scenes like I said, I would rate this manga 9, but...

I enjoyed this manga a lot ><
It's undescribable, it's too good.

I love all of her works and she is my favorite mangaka!!
so i think this gets a deff
9/10 for now i will finish it and then change if it
get's dunb but i doubt it cuz chie shinohara is the best!

the story is very interesting n since I'm one of this mangaka fan. I love this manga!

A good manga with a semi-complex storyline, as expected of Shinohara-sensei. The character relationships are fairly typical but serve the story well (the usual angsty Romeo/Juliet relationship). The conflicts within the main character are real, painful, and credible. Since it's only 11 volumes, I don't think the story drags on too much, either. There are a few graphic scenes (cannibalism, not x-rated or truly horrible but rather disturbing), and some provocative (but not TOO steamy) scenes. There's also some action scenes.

The two main characters are Soko and Akira, who start out as enemies, but with two hot main characters you can guess what's going to happen. ^^; Later on two antagonists related to Soko appear, which is when the plot gets moving. The plot is carried by a combination of action, character relationships, and human issues. (You'll see what I mean at the ending.) As for the ending, it's pretty satisfying, although it kinda felt like a cop-out.

It reminds me a little of [url]http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1045]Ayashi no Ceres[/url].
