This manga is probably best summarised as disappointing. It starts off with flying colours. The mangaka molds a good plot, comedy and a developing romance nicely into a story that really draws you in and keeps you interested. The art is pleasing to look at and the characters are very likable. It had the potential to be a 9 or 10. Unfortunately (and I can not fathom why), there is no end. It is not even a case of a weak ending or an ending I didn't like, it is almost as if the mangaka decided they couldn't be botheredcontinuing the manga anymore so just slapped the word finished on the last chapter they were working on. There are so many unanswered questions, not to mention a great plot twist (had it been followed through) and intriguing characters introduced just before the end which have no explanation as the manga stops so suddenly. All in all, the ending really lets down a manga which had the potential to be so much more.

Synopsis

Yayoi, a spunky high school girl, has inherited spiritual powers from her mother, and she uses these powers to protect people. During a fight with the devil Ura, Yayoi's power turns the devil into a black kitten. Now, even though Ura doesn't hide his desire to "eat" Yayoi's power when he gets the chance, they develop an interesting relationship: the two begin living together, and Yayoi takes her new feline "friend" on her adventures.

The plot has been rather adequately reviewed, but I wanted to quickly add my two cents (more of a warning, really): there is absolutely no closure at the end of this story. I imagine this manga was inexplicably and immediately dropped, because not one single thing is resolved. This is a story that ends in the middle. It's fantastic up until that point. It has so much promise. It's fun and entertaining, with great art and characters. But you WILL get blueballed at the "end." I read it weeks ago, and I'm still bewildered. Just wanted to let y'all know before you decide to jump in.It really is a worthwhile read - just one that drops off a cliff.

This manga has the potential to be an 8-10, I rated the story/art/character/enjoyment as 8 but I just can't give it a high overall rating mainly because of the ending. The story is really good and the characters are very likable the only problem is the ending which for me doesn't even count as an ending, it's like the mangaka simply decided to end the story right there and then when there is soooooo much more to do with the story. The ending was so abrupt! A good read but don't get to attached or the ending will make you want to search for the mangakaand strangle her until she decided to continue and put a satisfying ending on it. :)

I found myself highly enjoying every minute of this manga…so much so that i felt the need to write a review! This really is a must-read for anyone…i guess it just left that big of an impact on me. I've reread this manga and I wish i could buy it…that's how much i love it. You see…it's really difficult to find a manga…or even an anime…with a plot about demons and romance that's actually terrific, so I must say that this is one of the best. Sure…it could be a little predictable at times, but other than that it was AWESOME! Full stars for thisone.

I so badly want to give this manga 10/10 but I just can't. The story had a great hook, the art and characters were great, but there wasn't a proper ending. The mangaka very obviously dropped this project or else they wouldn't have introduced a plot twist with new characters. This manga had so much potential so it's very disappointing that it didn't reach its full worth. HOWEVER, this does not mean that the story we are given isn't still worth reading! Though it leaves us with unanswered questions I still really enjoyed reading it nonetheless. It is extremely unlikely that it will ever beremade after such a long time, but I'd like to hope that someday I'll get the answers to my questions!
