Story: The first chapter is just funny then as the chapters go along, it gets more serious but it still stays cute and funny. It also gets more interesting as it goes along then it starts getting more exciting later and the ending is awesome.

Art: The artwork is pretty good. The monsters are cute and the humans are kind of funny the way they are drawn, especially Maruyama and the witch. Something I don't understand is why the first chapter is in color while all the chapters afterwords are in black and white.

Characters: The characters are awesome. I love how they where able to come ... up with different kinds of characters based on different monsters like vampires and ghosts and how they were even able to have human characters. Every character of this series is enjoyable in their own way.

Enjoyment: The whole thing was done very well. It was exciting, cute, funny, it had some action and it was even a little dark but still enjoyable.

Overall: There's not really much more to say but I loved this manga and I think it deserves a 10 out of 10. I think it would be so cool if this series had an OVA or a movie.

Well, it's something that your kids should like.

Story:
It starts off pretty simple, I wasn't expecting an overarching story, though I did get one near the end. I really did expect the sumo guy to marry paifu's mom, but that didn't happen.

Art:
Everything looks fine.

Character:
It's pretty basic stuff, paifu is reckless little kid who is a vampire, who has a friend who is kinda shy and not much beyond that. He also has a rival who isn't his friend but is his rival. No one goes beyond that. The wrestler guy is cool, I guess.
...
Enjoyment:
It wasn't a chore to get through but I wasn't tearing through it. It's fine, something to give a child who would likely be very happy with it.

Overall:
See enjoyment.

I was very surprised to find that Akira Toriyama did this series after Dragon Ball ended. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's something I would have expected earlier in his career. What we have here is a monster village living with humans. The monsters get sick and they have to team up with a human, who's referred to as a murderer every other page it seems like, to road trip across the country in search of medicine.

I really didn't like this.

What's a shame is that I could totally see myself liking this because Toriyama created a better version of this story early in ... his Dragon Ball run where the main characters were kids and the world was crazy fun. Here, it's just fart jokes and kid rivalries that get on your nerves. I didn't find the art to be interesting, the characters were obnoxious, the jokes weren't even that funny. I understand it's aimed at a younger demographic, but so was early Dragon Ball. What really got me though was that after a few chapters you could tell that Toriyama abandoned the whole slice of life aspect of the story and went full in on the fighting, which felt so... meh. Again, it was fine, but it wasn't needed.

I didn't expect much out of this and it disappointed me even then. It's not terrible, but I'd hardly recommend it to someone older than 8.
