Not bad so far. The main protagonist is a badass in this fantasy crime series. For a cool dude though, he sure likes to fill his thirst. The case this chapter was a decent set up I guess to portray itself. With teh fantasy setting, I expect more supernatural cases beyond just helping out a mermaid girl.

I've ask some translators in mangahere and it seems no one wants to risk to pick it up in case WSJ ends up dropping it like it uses to lately

Not bad. Nothing special so far but this is Shiibashi-sensei so I'm sure it'll get good ^^

Liking AXL and the mermaids look cute. Plot is meh for now. I'm sure it should get awesome.

I liked it, but I think I'll put it on hold until there's a certainty of it not getting dropped by WSJ.

That was an alright start, and the art was pretty good (As expected of Shiibashi). I'm looking forward to seeing more of these rares and what kind of people they are, also it would be interesting to learn about Axl's past, and I'm curious on how big this plot could get, not much happened, but I expect that it'll get even better later on (Just hope it survives though).

Finally he's back with a new manga. Nurarihyon was axed at the apex of the story when the sales were pumping money, all because of WSJ votes being low.

Hahaha, first i was, that this is not looking good story, Then I read it....Revelation; This WAS F***ING Awesome!!!! Looks Like Rare Protection Unit, Illegal Rare Hunter has Been Formed....And That Mermaid Fell Love with Axel...XD Black Vampire King X Mermaid Diva....Really nice Pairing.

And Looks It That One Again Main Character has Tragedy past....well that is normal in Shounen mangas...

Hahaha...So There has been Vampire Collection eh? But Now It Is Different, No Longer Collector Hunt The Rares, Now It IS;

A pretty interesting first chapter. Some nice ideas, but the dialogue felt a bit stiff. Also, couldn't help but be reminded of "Jing: King of Bandits" as its first chapter also dealt with two mermaids. Anyways, I'll keep my eye on future chapters.

Not sure where you are looking. Have a look here: http://myanimelist.net/manga/5664/Nurarihyon_no_Mago

The manga ended in December 2012. It was cancelled in early 2012 and then moved to Jump Square for the last three chapters. Unfortunately, the ending was rushed because of this. Such a shame, it was a very well thought story.

^What? :( I put Nurarihyon on hold but that sounds terrible that the author had to rush the ending. I really liked it too.

Anyways, I liked the first chapter, it had a good hook. Axl seems like a cool character, he's funny (in an unintentional way I guess) but he also says whatever he wants to say. As expected of a king :)

I enjoyed this chapter. It seems like it could be a really interesting story if played correctly. I hope it doesn't get dropped right away. I want to see where it will go from here. Nova is adorable, and I like Axl a lot already, maybe just because of his name... But they are already dropping some serious hints about the future, I hope they can come to fruition!

The premise of the story is promising. The art is top notch and on par with Hiroshi's usual style that made Nurarihyon no Mago so good. Hopefully, this series will have a better fate than his previous work.

I still don't understand why they should cancel series based on their popularity in the magazine although the volumes sold like crazy.

Nah, the ending is good. It feels rush at some points, but still beats the endings of almost all other axed series and the things that were left unresolved seem to have been done so intentionally... hell, he even added a NEW villain faction in omake in the final volume XD (Hiroshi did say that he hopes to one day return to NuraMago-verse)

Thats simply how WSJ works and one of the very reasons it is the most well-doing Magazine in Japan. For Mangaka, there is a choice to be made: go to another magazine where you will have story to yourself but much less chance of popularity or the WSJ where you participate in Hunger Games but in return get a lot of popularity and money.

Anyway, the volumes sold well but sales numbers were in decline. WSJ probably thought it would be worth the risk to make him do something new that might get better results than NuraMago.

This new manga has a lot of potential especially with the world building and the future characters themselves

Which is sad, since most of what comes out of WSJ is garbage (or turns out to be garbage).

I was planning to drop the manga after reading the chapter, but eh, Shiibashi Hiroshi-sensei's new work? I guess I will hop onto this for a little longer and see how it goes.
