So Sousei no Onmyouji finally ended so now i can begin to right a proper review of this manga i did write a review of this manga in 2020 . In that review i said that i readed the manga just because i loved the anime back then and i found the manga magnific or so that i was thinking in that time the young me did have a lot of time and was not so experienced with manga and so whatever this review is more like to give you a look of how my sentiments for this manga change over time i hope that in the future i can see this review and say i am so proud of my younger self anyways lets start the review . In the terms of story and plot wise the manga is structured in 7 arcs in total and the last arc is divided in 3 parts so we can said that this manga has 9 arcs in total . This manga is using some timeskip moments cuz in the manga are 3 timeskip the timeskip are just to show how the character really grow with time and are maturing cuz in the first part of this manga the protagonists . Rokuro Enmadou and Benio have 14 years and they behave like normal children in the most part and they dont get along until some antagonist come in the manga some chapters after . My point there is that they learn how to cooperate and to be more responsable for the sake of the world with the time they start developing romantic interest between them and learn more about themselve and their world . Thats a huge point of Sousei cuz it shows how the some rival relation begin to be something more than friends and really love . Yes a part of me is really in love with this manga because of the romance elements that are greatly in the manga and are greatly evolving with each timeskip and with each other experience between them The manga is monthly and it has like 134 chapter and 8 extra so you can have a good time reading this manga if you love shounen battle with a great romance substory . The Shounen battle thing is like in other shounen with some powerspike and with some villainous organization Basara for the majority of the manga the thing that are different is the symbolism of this manga and thats Ying and Yang and the one of defy your own destiny to make your own fate by your hands i will explain this later in some spoiler tag for those who didnt read the whole manga Ying and Yang symbolism The defy of your own destiny and make the fate with your hands From my point of view the story has 10/10 even if the last arc was rushed i could close a eye of that problem and actually enjoying . Characters: well in my terms i love the majority of Sousei no Onmyouji cast and i find Rokuro being my overall favorite character at the moment of this review He is maybe a little shrimp with a lousy character and some goofy in the begging but thats what i love about him and i can say that character has some glowup moments like the others character . Benio is the prettiest character from the manga overall from my point of view the other character are great support and i can say i love them very much for example : Mayura Kamui Yuuto Arimori Arima Seimei Shimon tenma Cordelia Kankuro Hikaru Suzu and others character have a great character design a spectacular evolution i mean the majority of them here and good motives . Artstyle : The artstyle show how is evolving along with the story if the terms of how serious is gonna be the story . Just saying that in the begging the artstyle looked so chibi and cute in some ways and a bit edgy well with the time the artstyle looks more mature and more serious there will be some goofy and funny moments for example Rokuro face will never change but his attitude and experience will definetly greatly evolve in his adulthood along with the art . For me the art is a 10/10 Enjoyment I watched the anime back in summer 2018 i really loved i catch up with the manga back in summer 2019 so from then i was reading monthly Sousei no Onmyouji with the excitment and with happy face evey chapter so yeah my enjoyment was so big so that i could wait and be happy at every chapter . Overall My younger self did have some good points about sousei no onmyouji but he was completly blind when it comes to simbolims and how the series can affect you after a reread and yeah i did take some chapter to reread and loving in the same ways and more probably because of nostalgy but thats my opinion . From my point of view i found this series a masterpiece even if some people will think of this series basic or if is mediocre i will still love this series . Overall:10/10
100 /100
