Synopsis

Kaguya is a boy in an all-girl's school for demons [fox spirit, succubus, werewolf, etc]. Being the only human was bad enough, but the added risk of his manhood being discovered makes for silly and unbelievable (deliciously envious) situations. (Source: M-U)

TARDIS04

Not Recommended

I will not discuss the characters or plot, for they to do no warrant a discussion.

It took me over a yr to finally finish this, which is saying a lot due to its relative short nature. Its score is off-the-charts bad. So low that they don't even allow me to mark it as so, thus resulting in its "pathetic" score of one.

Really, bad, worst upon worst, no real intrinsic worth, story line is lacking in creativity, charm, appeal, humor and God knows what else.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one

Before reading any of my reviews, please keep in mind that I am a VERY harsh critic. I do not hand out 10's easily and anything I rate 7 or higher I consider recommendation worthy.

And boy am I ever going to be harsh with this one. . .

Story: 1/10
There really wasn't much of a story. . . In a few words the plot (and boy am I ever being generous calling it a plot) can be summed up as aimless and directionless. The only thing that really happens over the course of the manga is animal eared girls (I cannot even call them animal girls ... because they could not even be bothered to give them tails) getting naked and all falling in love with a girly boy. That is it. That IS the story. All this series is is eye candy to titillate teenage boys with an animal ear fetish. The one plot device that they had, Kaguya's knife/sword/whatever, was almost never used and has 0 impact on the story which makes me question why they even included it in the first place. Whether you liked this series or not, be honest with yourself, you are not here for the engaging plot, you're here for the naked animal eared school girls and nothing more.

Art: 5/10
The art was average. It was neither good, nor bad. The characters were relatively cute, granted, but that is harem manga 101. If you cannot draw attractive girls for a harem manga then you really need a new line of work. Thankfully the girls were drawn well. The background art was nonexistent at times, which is where most of my marks for art goes away. You can read pages and pages and see nothing but characters, often taking up most of the page, with no background whatsoever. That is incredibly lazy. The other thing that kind of peeves me with the art is that panties are almost ALWAYS visible. Panty shots are to be expected in this kind of manga, but they are kind of shoved in your face here. No "naughty gusts of wind" needed, just have them, panties for everyone. It's almost like the mangaka was trying to cover up lack of writing ability by overloading the series with fan service. It has a rating over 7 (at the time of me writing) on MAL so I guess the distraction worked.

Character: 7/10
This was the ONLY good thing about this series and, really, the only reason I even finished it. To be honest, I did it for Tomoe. It's not often I find a series where I don't end up hating at least one character, but the girls are all great and the male lead was great as well. So hats off to that. However a wise man once said "even if you're on the right track you'll get run over if you just sit there" and this series just sat on it's characters for most of the series and did not really do much with them so they kind of got ran over. The only character with any backstory whatsoever was Kaguya (his childhood friend) and the only characters that showed any real growth were Sasa, Tomoe and Nene and Nene's was only near the end (though considering she was a tsundere her overnight growth felt like a breath of fresh air and was appreciated). These girls deserved better. I would have loved to see what a writer with actual talent could have done with them.

Enjoyment: 2/10
Good characters drawn cutely. Tomoe really grew on me quickly. Aside from that there is really nothing here that I found enjoyable whatsoever. The story was as completely forgettable to me as Kaguya's secret weapon was to the mangaka. The only way I could have got any satisfaction here was if I just wanted to see animal eared girls getting naked but, sadly?, I kind of want more from my manga than breasts and panties. If that is what you are into, knock your rocks off (not a typo), but I need actual substance in order to be entertained and this had 0 substance.

Overall: 2.5/10
MAL needs a decimal system. I keep bouncing this back and forth between 2 and 3 but it feels like a 2.5 and I always round down, so it's a 2. This was pretty much garbage right from the start. I had some hopes it would get better when Tomoe entered but the story went nowhere and no matter how good the characters are if the story sucks then the whole series sucks. There was no real story here. At all. They pretended to have a story a handful of times but most of the time it did not even survive until the end of the chapter. Unless you just want to see naked girls with animal ears then avoid this title. There are better animal girl manga out there and there are better harem manga out there. It really does not surprise me that this mangaka has not done anything since 2011.
