This Manga is just so bad. Its just episodic fan service, with the little to no amount of character development. It just so bad. The art ranges from disgustingly detailed, to very mediocre

The basic story is that there's this woman named Kurohime who was so beautiful that she used it to her advantage, so the gods changed her into a small girl named Himeko. The only way to change back is to find love. While a guy named Zero (who idolized Kurohime as child for saving his life) who has been looking for Kurohime for years, finally finds her as Himeko and watches ... her turn into Kurohime right in front of him. For some reason, Kurohime loves Zero and repeativly changes back during the course of the first volume (which is all I've read).

There are many reasons not to read Kurohime. So just avoid.

I really wish it could have fallowed the manga more. The manga was great, but the anime was just above average. The art style is classic, and the song Konoyo no Uta (which is several times over the course of the anime) is superb. The main problem is that there is a lot of plot points from the manga, but there not properly explained, and are all over the place.

In the end, it's okay. It's worth watching, but not worth buying the box set.
