(WARNING) This review will be heavy on spoilers so STOP right here if you don't want no spoilers.

Minamoto-kun Monogatari is a manga written and drawn by Inaba, Minori and its based off the classic work of Japanese literature, The Tale of Genji. Okay I was introduced to this manga randomly through Mangahere, at first I thought it was gonna be another perverted smut manga. But after reading some chapters and doing some research on it of whats its based off I got really into it, also the main female is the type im really into. Then my interest starting to decline drastically after ... 200 chapters because its falling into the same category as To Love-RU, repetitive with no character development for the MC, plus its ONLY 8 PAGES FOR EACH CHAPTER which takes forever to get through a arc and its takes almost 20 chapters for the MC to finish doing it with a girl.

Terumi Minamoto, At the beginning I felt sorry for him and wanted for him to succeed in becoming a better person, but after 200 damn chapters he's still the frickin same as he was the beginning of the manga, a pansy ass BETA with no back bone and I HATE BETA'S. For example way later on in the manga this bitch named Tsukasa Chuujou was talking down and saying some really shitty things to him and he just stood there and didn't stand up for himself. also he still that really meek, whimpering pansy expression still and the idiot is a collage student.

Kaoruko Fujiwara, Terumi's aunt, I like her, she's my favorite female of the manga because she's the type of girl I like the most, the calm, quiet, mature, seductive type also she's a hot older woman. People say she's just using the MC as her puppet, but I disagree. She's just researching something and she's helping Terumi to grow a pair, plus she's the nicest and the most supportive to him and only scolds him when does something stupid and im really thinking she's going to be the last one and Terumi will end up with her in the end, also I read in Japan its alright if you marry your aunt or cousin, plus its only fiction.

As for the rest of the females, at first I find them really nice, but later on they piss me off because they either are really annoying, bitchy, stupid, weird or not honest with there feeling. All Terumi want is a loving relationship but they screw him over, for example Chisato Hanada, she was going out with Terumi for a little while, but the dumb bitch broke up with him because some snot nosed little shit that likes to grope her ass got sad. Aoi Kiriyama is a daddy's girl with her thumb wedged up her ass, Tsukasa Chuujou is the bitch that bullied Terumi and she's a slut because she was having an affair with some college professor. Yuu Tokonatsu is the current girl Terumi is dating, but she's not being honest with herself and there's some lesbo bitch that has a thing for her, then there's Terumi male friend which I find very annoying because he likes Kaoruko, so yeah im NOT very fond of the supporting characters, since Terumi and Kaoruko are the only main ones.

Overall Score

Story 6 - Fair (Its run its coarse and has gotten annoying and repetitive, but still as some inteterinsg things in it.)
Art 8 - Very Good (I like the art, especially the hair, faces and how the female characters are drawn.)
Character 4 - Decent (Kaoruko is the character I mostly like, but the support characters brings the score down a lot for me.
Enjoyment 5 - Mediocre (Went down quite a few notches.)
Overall 6 - Fair.

Thats all for now and like any other series, anime or manga I will continue reading it because im really curious how its going to end because I want Terumi and Kaoruko to end up together and movie away to someplace. I only drop a series if something really pisses me off to a huge extent and Minamoto-kun Monogatari hasn't done that. I would really like it and if you got anything to say give me a comment on my profile or messages and thats it have a awesome day or night.

I love this anime, I enjoyed the Story, Art (gotta love MadHouse), Sound, and most of all the characters.
For me I enjoy the conversations, everything does not have to be action all the time and the talking gives it more plot details and find this anime very calm and suddle.
Its much more better than those animes with the loud mouth idiots that won't shut the hell up and those annoying and obnoxious perverted comedy animes with stupid perverted admires and fan boy and girl clubs.

I love the characters also, people complain about Tasuya having no personality and I actually love that, it makes him badass ... and calm like Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing which no body bitched about him from what ive seen and a little like Kirito from Sword Art Online with him being OP and I love very calm and OP main characters from animes like Alucard from Hellsing.

Its far more better than Eren from Attack on Titan, which gets pissed off, emotional, yells and becomes a male damsel in distress all the damn time or like Rito Yuuki from To Love-Ru which acts like a total panzy ass and freaks the hell out when it comes to girls.

Miyuki, I find her very cute and likable and I enjoy her being a bro-con she's like Mihato from They are My Noble Masters and a more cuter and eloquent version Mikasa from Attack on Titan with a little more personally and with some Kikyou from Inuyasha slapped it.

Okay now I know what to say, recently ive been hearing people complain about it being raciest against Asians because of the main villains group, which I consider a bunch of bullshit. I saw them as a fictional organization thats try take down certain clans and you guessed it, take over the world, also thats what the main villain group was in Firefly.

Some interesting trivia, Tatsuya is based off the Hindu god, Shiva The God of Destruction and Miyuki is based off the goddess Parvati, Shiva's devoted wife.

Also In Japan, The Irregular at Magic High School was the best selling light novel series of 2014.
