It was amazing. I'm speechless and not sure how to describe how I adore this manga. Actually, I adore all Mizukami Satoshi's works. The mangaka put events by events, connecting them, letting the characters met each other, growth, collide, and all those events happened in such a way that feels so natural. Battles scenes was amazingly done. Goddamn feeling between peoples and demon here!

The second part about Senya is just freaking amazing. Senya did grown in such a good way. Who would expect that such a small character at first is gonna be the main power later? I guess this is why I really love Mizukami-sensei's stories. All of the events were warped so carefully, and then they were revealed one by one in an unpredictable way. ^^

It does appear as if Mizukami Satoshi can do no wrong. I think I personally slightly prefer Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer over this, but Sengoku Youko is also almost perfect. There's drama, comedy, action, tragedy... and the story has no loose ends or damning weak points, and even ends satisfyingly with no important questions left unanswered.

Do read this.

I was on the fence at the start of this series as its you know your general I'm justice and I'm weak blahblahblah but the characters do grow and become more/less complex as the events unfold and then every now and then u get hit with the feels. The middle does throw you off a bit but power through and it comes full circle, but seriously those feels at the end and that face punch of reality for what it's like to be a non human gets me every time I read a manga like this.

Good one. One of the rarer shounens in which characters couldnt outgrowth an opponent after some magical trainings, and the first arc ending twist was quite okay-ish.

i have a slight issue with the really cheesy way a lot of the dialog goes, so i knocked off a tenth of a point. Everything else i loved. the art has a very noticeable unique feel to it(and it fits the story pretty well), the characters are interesting to say the least, the story actually provided some developments that surprised me.... and the way they handled the maincharacter was amazing. he doesnt win his victories through stupid last minute shounen powerups. he has one supernatural weapon, and truckloads blood, sweat, and tears, as his advantageous. Plus though he does make drastic changes, it's not physical powerups... its mental... his somewhat lackadaisical state in the beginning to his midpoint, to his state in recent chapters is like riding a rollercoaster o.o.

I really liked the story up until there was this huge turn off/deal breaker for me.


Art/story/characters was good though, but I just can't read this anymore.

Pre-deal-breaker, I'dd give this a 8/10.
Post-deal-breaker, it's rather hard to judge this, since I just stopped reading when it happened, so it would be a 0/10, but there are people who enjoy it and if you're one of those, the story seems to keep on going the same way, so it would be a 7/10 (-1 because of the protagonist).

I started reading this yesterday, got through the first arc and I was actually bothered at how fast the manga is going.

The dialogue isn't that... good for most of the part. I think the manga feels really rushed to the point that you don't get as much character development as you would hope. It's just a "power through this situation" most of the time, even with the twists it didn't exactly raise the bar anywhere. I think the author fails to connect the characters with the readers. The only person I felt that was worth looking forward was Shinsuke, even now he remains one of the reason to keep reading the manga.

I wish the author took time to give more thoughts on where the manga should head.

Like a comment said here, I also wouldn't recommend it to friends, it's far from amazing and I doubt they'll really enjoy the characters that are currently taking place in the story.

Let's put it simply: The story is far from amazing. Every chapter for the first five volumes is pretty random and half-assed. I really wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends.

However, if the reader is a fan of Hoshi no Samidare, admire the mangaka, and can excuse the series for its obvious flaws then pushing through countless boring pages will eventually bear some satisfaction. For example, I love the character development, and the mangaka proves that not all growth is positive in nature.

If all fails, enjoy the artwork.
