The story starts off good and then comes the time travelling which drones on and on. Yeah I know that major background plot is revealed in the time travel arc but it was so tedious to get through it. And why are these recent chapters only 22 pages long? That's almost as ridiculous for a monthly comic as Sekirei's measly 16 pages or so. I'm still gonna retain my 9/10 rating for this manga for the moment, but I'm so tempted to drop the rating a few points.
I actually really like this manga. And I just finished the first arc. All I can say is... THAT FRIGGIN'... FRIGGIN'... FIRST ARC ENDING MADE ME CRY... uuuu~*sniff* *sniff*... :'-(
And I am going to continue reading this manga. And I am GLAD that the mangaka continued this. Thank goodness.
I really adore Kurohime and Zero's love. I want to see more! Hahaha.
And even if it's still not finish, I hope this won't have a sad ending! I fell in love with the manga already for it to have a sad ending! Grar. Hahaha. And I wish it's Hime and Zero. Man. <3 <3 <3

this manga has gone to absolute shit...
the 1st ark was great and should have been ended there but no...the mangaka screwed the manga by not ending it..
IMHO read the 1st ark then drop it....do not read the rest as its not worth it

sorry....i lost interest in this. The way they axed one of the main protagonists wasn't to my liking.
He dissapeared for the rest of the show after chapter 10 or so?...It was also quite patronising to see someone else try and take his position on top of that.
Bleh, the main lead changed into this girly person who is in touch with her emotions? Thats not why i started reading, I didn't want to see that till the very end or for a very long time.
Just bad charactor change..And then axe a charactor who just made his name...Bleh.

First arc was meh, the Zero arc was the only good arc. The rest after that is utterly contrived, bull shit that really makes you understand that the mangaka has no idea about what the hell he's doing.
This manga was once great. I loved it. Then the past arc came.... long, convoluted and detrimental to the story (the original purpose for her going back there was pretty much forgotten as she doted on Rei and ignored Zero, the guy she supposedly loved). Then, when the end of the arc came, we find out some horrible news (to me anyway) that completely ruined any interest in the manga, making me drop it. I give it a 5/10 because the beginning up through the Shinigami arc it was REALLY good. Then it got REALLY bad, so it evens out. I'll never finish it, though.
As others have stated, the story is a convoluted one, but when it comes down to it, Kurohime is a tragic tale of romance and fantasy that is definitely worth a read. The artwork does indeed improve over time, the bad guys are easy to hate, the story will keep you wanting more, and Kurohime is just gorgeous. There's a fair bit of nudity, this being an ecchi work, but in the case of some things, such as one of the 'gods' found in the more recent chapters, it can be grotesque.
It becomes a heart-wrenching romantic tale in which Kurohime encounters tragedy after tragedy, so its a difficult read for the weak of heart (such as myself), and is actually somewhat depressing.
I would definitely recommend this to any and all readers, males and females alike.
Upon finishing the series I realize that the plot was dragged on unnecessarily and the plot cluttered, as others have noted, and the ending was just terrible. Would def reread for the first arc, however.

I wonder what will unfold
the love story and the action
I suspect that zero is actually rei just pretending
to be like his brother since the boy from the beginning
loses hope lokes like rei and he was save by kurohime
I really wanted to see the ending
seriously! I love zero and kurohime
I wonder when it will go back to the same
relationship.
both sacrifice life and memories
life and memories is almost
equal, memories is as important
as life for lovers and I always
wanted them to be happy ^-^
yeah great manga it makes
me cry and laugh!
funny yet sacrificing.
it pisses me off those
pagan gods and goddesses
who always obstruct their
love.
darn I wanna hit them with
nuclear lol yeah I really hit them
those bad guys it is normal right?
will let love succeed!

I completely agree with Molenir. The author should have ended this manga when Zero died. If he ended this manga shortly after the Zero's death, this manga would be a legend that everyone would cry and long for more.
Currently, at least to me, the manga pretty much sucks. It's nowhere as interesting as it used to be. The new arcs are pretty much lame or so draggy.

I initially liked this manga. Though the beginning arc got old pretty quick. After a bit it got to be tiresome and stale. Then Zero's arc came about, but when that ended, the story quickly became boring.
Its not a bad manga, but it could have been a lot better. Not really worth the read.

When Rei showed up, I was like wtf. What about Zero! Forget this Rei kid. After awhile the story just became tiresome. They should have ended the story 10 volumes ago with Zeros death, or shortly thereafter. Continuing it doesn't improve the story at all.
