The tengu orphanage babies are lovely in every way. Misao's parents are the best as well!
I liked how the story cast a realistic light on the human falling in love with supernatural species. In many chapters Misao struggles on whether she's ready to give up seeing her family and friends so freely to move with the Tengus.
I hated Kyo's manipulative, obsessively rude moments. Like, wanting to force his girl to watch him kill someone. I disliked Misao at times for listening to him! Why in the world did she make herself watch that? She also cried TOO MUCH, more than humanly possible.
I feel bad for Kyo's brother's loneliness, but it didn't make me excuse his previous behavior. This manga has one HUGE problem: Rape/sexual assault moments are not okay! They never will be! I don't care if you are super nice the next day or the next 600 chapters, trying to rape someone, even the Senka, is WRONG.
Raikou (He's a legendary pokemon haha) needed to back the chicken feathers away from Misao. That's all that needs to be said there.
Conclusion:
If you dislike this manga for its story, then you will love it for its characters (mostly side but the main have their moments too). Some of the kissing moments are sweet.
The smutty scenes are pretty easy to skim over as well. So, I wouldn't worry too much about them. The blood isn't overly gory unless limbs are detached and only arms get detached! I do get squeamish when Misao tries to cut her wrists though and all the talk about drinking her blood.
The story is also super hilarious! Some of Misao's expressions have me in laughing fits. One of my favorites is when she meets Sagami's wife, or when Kyo knees Zenki in the face. XD NO, no my all-time favorite is when Misao (in a rare shining moment) outsmarts a mean, former orphan girl.
One thing though if the almost-rape moments do not all the way turn you off, a later scene that could be perceived as child abuse may. With context, it's understandable but still majorly unsettling.
Overall, due to some smutty scenes I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it is an interesting read. I finished it within a week because I was binge reading it. The story sho' will keep you turning pages!
