The title and cover of this manga made it look like it would be a must-read; that was far from true. There is absolutely no character development, the artwork is not the crisp lines one would expect in manga, and the storyline is just a long string of events. I really didn't care what happened to anybody in it. I've read American manga-kas that can keep me interested, so I know it wasn't that.

Bottom line: there are *far* superior supernatural mangas out there. Try xxxHolic or Bleach. If you really want to give American manga a go, read Return to Labyrinth. You definitely MUST see the movie first to even understand what's happening, but it's quite good. :)
