Not quite as good as it could be, but redeems itself in the end

by Geese1

Plot is cliched, character types are ones we've all seen before, and the chapters tend to all follow the same basic formula (especially in the beginning and middle volumes); but even so I still found it entertaining enough to keep reading and was ultimately rewarded for my perseverance.

As noted, the biggest problem the series has is that for the first five volumes or so, almost every chapter seems to follow the same basic guidelines: introduce monster of the week, gang is threatened by said monster, gang gets the stuffing beat out of them until Tsukune pulls the rosary off Moka and her alter ego appears to save the day; wash, rinse, repeat.

The story takes on a different direction during the middle and later volumes, one that touches on some interesting themes, but they don't really go anywhere with it, and in all honesty I found this arc even less entertaining than the episodic ones we were originally given.

All is not lost though, as the last few volumes really improve drastically in every way possible. The artwork gets noticeably better, the stories are much more entertaining (even though there is still some of the monster-of-the-week stuff, it's less pronounced, and doesn't seem as formulaic when it is there), and there seems to be more of a focus on the characters and their relations which had been previously overshadowed by the plot. Much better; so much in fact that it brings the whole series up a couple of points in the rating.

So all in all, it's a decent read. It had some promise starting out that never quite got realized until the final couple of volumes, but that redemption gives me some hope that the second season will pick up with the same momentum that this one ended with.

Pretty much the same thing over and over again, but the story is cute and traditional to these type of manga... Weak normal guy gets all the girls and they don't really even kiss, it's just confessional anxiety all over the place..

But I liked it.

ok people. I am tired of reading all of your negative comments espically the ones that say it lacks "character development" or it gets "repetitive". S*^t what series doesn't get repetitive after a while. loosecannon504 your comment made me even angrier than what i already was today. so let me explain a few things to all of you critical IDIOTS out there.

FIRST: IF THE MANGAKA WANTS TO PORTRAY HIS CHARACTERS IN A CERTAIN WAY, THEN LET HIM. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SAY OR DO THAT CAN CHANGE THE CREATORS MIND. THE CHARACTERS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE FOR A REASON. PERSEPTION VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON. SO SAYING THAT THE CAHRACTERS AREN'T ACTING LIKE THE MONSTER THEY REALLY ARE WELL THATS TOO BAD. WE CAN'T HAVE MOKA START ACTING LIKE COUNT DRACULA BECAUSE WE'D LOSE OUR PRIMARY FEMALE LEAD. KURUMU CAN'T GO STEALING THE LIFE FORCE FROM OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE'S ALREADY SWORN NOT TO USE HER POWERS TO WIN TSUKUNE AND BECAUSE SHE'D BE AN ANTAGONIST(sorry if my spelling is off).

SECOND: HOW MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT DO YOU EXPECT IN TEN VOLUMES OF MANGA?! THE FIRST SERIES SETS THE STAGE FOR SEASON 2 AND THAT'S WHERE THE REAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BEGINS. ALTHOUGH TSUKUNE AND MOKA STILL HAVEN'T KISSED YET THE BOND BETWEEN THEM CONTINUES TO GROW STRONGER. AS FOR THE OTHER GIRLS THEY GET TO BE IN LIMELIGHT NOW STARTING MAINLY WITH MOKA'S SISTER, THEN KURUMU, THEN MIZORE GETS A WHOLE LOT OF ATTENTION, THEN TSUKUNE, AND THEN YUKARI. RUBI GETS SOME HERE AND THERE BUT YOU NEED TO GIVE THEM TIME.

THIRD: COMMON SENSE? YOU PEOPLE REALLY EXPECT A MANGA TO HAVE COMMON SENSE?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT LACKS COMMON SENCE 😕 ?! HERE'S A LITTLE NEWSFLASH FOR YOU IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW. ROSARIO+VAMPIRE IS A WORK OF........F-I-C-T-I-O-N! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL? FICTION! FANTASY! NEED I SAY MORE? OH AND IF YOU REALLY WANT A STORY WITH PLOTHOLES CHECK OUT MY PERSONAL FAVORITE RANMA 1/2.

THIRD: WAIT DO I HAVE A THIRD THING?.....................................OH YEAH THE PRIDICTABILITY OF ROSARIO IS PART OF WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE'S ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION BUT IT JUST REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY WHEN I READ NEGATIVE COMMENTS LIKE SOME OF THE ONES POSTED HERE. ROSARIO+VAMPIRE IS A CROSS BETWEEN A REGULAR HAREM AND A MAGICAL GIRLFRIEND. ALSO I KNOW THAT TSUKUNE IS WEAK, AND KIND OF BORING, AND ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HERE HAS SAID ABOUT HIM BUT HE'S THE MAIN CHARACTER OF A SHOUNEN SERIES WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?! AND BESIDES WE ALL KNOW THAT TSUKUNE WERE REAL HE WOULD HAVE DIED BEFORE MOKA EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO INTRODUCE HERSELF.

now i'd like to say i'm sorry if what i wrote offended anyone or anything. but you people cant be so critical about this series. try to find at least two good things about it before you post a negative comment please and i mean two things other than the artwork and fanservice.

anyways i love this series. its not THE BEST harem that i've ever read but its pretty good and fyi i didn't turn off my brain and say "look at all the pretty pictures" while i was reading it. as a guy i didn't mind the fanservice but in reality it really doesn't do anything for me anyways. i did think that the ways that tsukune pulled of mokas rosario were completly pulled out of the ass though. fiction or not just happening to brush against it in a pinch kind of bugged me. art work was much better in the later volumes and even though the whole friendship thing is overplayed you really cant do a thing about it since thats what most shounen series are centered around. plot really picked up in the third volume. overall i give it about a 9

When I first started reading this I was quite excited. Even now I'm still anxious of what will happen next. Overall this manga has caught my attention to the max. Even though at times it has some downsides to it. But I am still curious on what roll the other three girls will play, and also though newly formed powers of Tsukune.

Overall I give it two thumbs up, for the artwork and plot. I guess its just appealing to me.

Interesting read

As the topic says, this series is nicely done. Although it starts
as a lighthearted story, in the second part become quite dark.
Especially while describing difficult relationship between human,
monseters and witches...and the fights become quite bloody too.

PS:
I think mangaka should work a bit more with the scenes that
the characters are running, as their poses looks a bit hilarious. lol

PS2: Don't listen to what the dude below me said, the scanlation
war is a total bull.... they just use the free4all translation from mangahelpers
and starting from the beginning is just a priviledge not a law... 😛

good, but rather repetitive...

great artwork. interesting storyline and plot. characters good, but a bit cliched, but good nonetheless. humour and fanservice, in just the right amounts well integrated. only thing is it gets repetive. more or less every chapter is the same - timid boy gets into trouble. demon girl in non-demon form finds him and both are in trouble. boy pulls rosary off girl, turning her into full powerful demon. demon kicks ass and saves day.

not saying this is bad in any way - i still enjoy this series very much - it is quite noticeable. all in all, good, but somewhat repetitive.

You don't get into this series to read anything innovative or different. It's your typical blend of supernatural comedy. The ecchi is a little too conveniently (sometimes annoyingly placed), some of the tangent stories causes more eye rolls than entertainment; howbeit the main plot is interesting enough to grab my interest.

this is an awsome manga, i loved the characters and loved the whole concept, really this is just setting the stage for the second season which just raises this to a whole new level.

dont watch the anime whatever you do, just dont watch it ... the review under me sounds like a review for the anime rather than the manga.

read it its awsome

It gets better

by Telengard

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Note: Since I finished the series I feel I ought to remark that it gets much better. Even though the criticisms below still apply, the story gets much better around volume 8. The art also improves dramatically compared to the first several volumes. The majority of panels are quite nicely drawn, and with twice as many panty shots. It's almost like reading a completely different manga. The dialog is still pretty pathetic, and the plot isn't greatly improved.

Suffers from every shounen cliche you can think of. No real plot, just some vague themes and monster of the week stuff. It's what you might expect from a cross between Ichigo 100% and Kaibutsu Oujo, IMHO.

The drawings in most panels are very poor quality, with a very nicely drawn panel every two pages or so. When the artist wants to get our attention, he gives us a shot of one of the girls' panties.

Dialog is awful, like it was scripted by a 14 year old boy. The villains frequently shout, now I'll show you my true power, or something to that effect. Nothing to think about here. It's really hard to read because it's so childish.

Given the unwarranted popularity of this series, I'm gravely disappointed in the manga fandom community for their enthusiasm over it.
