220https://i.ur.com/qNDQioX.png I dont write reviews often but I wanted to get my overall thoughts out there on this series now that it recently ended in Weekly Shonen Jump and Ive finished reading it. Very enjoyable manga for the first half for me but it started to fall off for me about halfway. I think we all knew it would end as soon as we saw the volume 1 sales. Perhaps even the author themselves knew because after around chapter 18 or so I really feel like the story started to decline in quality and rush things and become less and less interesting and also become much more predictable. Unfortunately the manga failed to catch a lot of interest because it stuck so close to the tried and used shonen formula and honestly they should have ended it alongside Ayashimon if were being fair. The one thing I will say I did LOVE however and feel like was the mangas strongest point was showing the strong bond and connection between Dora and Kusanagi. 220https://i.ur.com/te3KOUi.png 220https://i.ur.com/Ov4H84W.png They have one of my favorite dynamics as protagonists ever. The way Dora is so protective over adorable lil Kusanagi is just straight peak I loved these two. They really cared for each other and the author made you feel it. 220https://i.ur.com/l7XuE6R.png 220https://i.ur.com/NROKMrq.png 220https://i.ur.com/sjOYmle.png The mangas displaying of these characters was so wholesome and very well fleshed out. Some seriously goated protags to a sadly not as interesting series Although I also really liked Heisuke 220https://i.ur.com/qkJaiEh.png I think the mangas biggest weakness was just sticking way too closely to the generic type of shonen weve already read a ton of times and failed to bring in interest from the vast majority. In my opinion it also feels like the only interesting antagonists in the series like Just felt pretty rushed was probably around the turning point where you could feel that the manga would not last long in Jump and be coming to an end eventually. Despite the flaws I still enjoyed my time with the series. I dont regret reading it despite the rushed ending and cancellation. Kusanagi alone is worth it. I will also say the art is really good some cool character designs and lot of wholesome moments too. Its not all generic action and monster slaying. My favorite moments with the series were the quieter moments the character driven moments. The funny little interactions and expressions. 220https://i.ur.com/q3vmQeI.jpg 220https://i.ur.com/Oqa7xFK.png 220https://i.ur.com/qGR0kr9.png 220https://i.ur.com/j6nsmSl.png 220https://i.ur.com/pyxwHps.png 220https://i.ur.com/rwKWcc7.png Dora and Kusanagi will be missed I look forward to the authors future works 220https://i.ur.com/ovWo8bJ.png
