I think that this manga is very good so far and i believe that it is going to go very far in the industry and i also believe that Rumiko Takahashi has done an amazing job with it so far. I have read up to the 3rd volume and it really has hooked me so far and i really love it a lot. In a way it does remind me of inuyahsa and I hope that someday it will end up with an anime adaptation and i do think that you should totally give this a read. it is very heavy on fantasy just ... like inuyasha is and it has alot of comedy in it to so be ready to laugh.

If I had to describe this story, then I guess it will have to be “meh.” I think Mao is a sum of how a mangaka can lose her foot in the game, especially after Takahashi has landed major hits in the industry, and she has had endless success over her long career.

There is nothing bad about the story, but there is nothing good about it either. Whenever I read this story, I just feel like I have experienced this before, and that’s unfortunate, since the overall story is much slower and darker than many of her past series. Mao premise so ... far just seems stale. There are cool things to be found, but most of what you see if just bland or forgettable.

Only for hardcore Inuyasha fans. The artwork is so bad and the story is so boring It just doesn't hold up by modern standards.

I suppose some people might like the retro old-school feel but that's about the only good thing I can say here. If you picked this manga up randomly you would think it was from the 1950's based on the artwork and simplistic story. It seems like the author has a large following from previous works so that's probably why something like this can exist. Thankfully the manga isn't pretending to be something it's not. What you see in the first chapter is ... exactly what you get for the remaining 20 volumes. I'm surprised it hasn't been cancelled just from lack of interest.
