Customer Reviews

Amazing

I totally loved this book, one of the best manga series I've ever read. The only downside is that because it is so short, the end of the series leaves a lot of loose ends.

A must read

This is such an awesome book! It is great for anyone who likes manga that has comedy, love, some fighting, and a great story. My only disappointment is that there are only 2 volumes.

A Treasure

This manga was pure joy. The artwork is wonderful and different, the paneling is comprehensible, and the story itself is gold. Sure, other mangas hold romance between a demon and some 'holier' person (whether it be human or not), but the heroine, Yayoi, is not a chip off the old box. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's tired of weepy main characters... Thank goodness Yayoi is different. I would say this is one of my more favored mangas. I highly recommend you buy it if you're into romance, demons, and great art.

A tale about a black cat and a magical girl

So my biggest draw to Mugen Spiral was the fact that there are only two volumes in the series. Yeah! I won't be waiting three years to find out how the story ends this time. Overall the art is very good and though the story seemed rushed at times I still enjoyed it none the less. If you like Inu Yasha you will probably like Mugen Spiral as it has simalar themes.

Promising premise almost delivers

This magical high school girl meets demon tale brings both Her Majesty's Dog and Demon Diary to mind and might appeal to fans of those series. Yayoi, 78th Head of the Suzuka clan, can control the 108 spirits of the Realm of the Dead. Ura, a demon prince, wants to devour her, thereby attaining her great power for himself. The premise is intriguing but I found the manga to suffer from lack of character development (primarily Yayoi, who doesn't seem to have any quirks or personality). I also wanted to see more of the 108 spirits Yayoi controls. I mean, what's the point of having so many when we won't get to see all of them before the series ends? This manga appears to be a two-shot. This book advertised volume 2 as being the final one and I rather expected the series to run longer. The artwork, which I haven't mentioned yet, is gorgeous and worth the price of the book. Though I expected more, I'm still looking forward to volume 2!
