Customer Reviews

nice story, read till the end

good character development throughout the whole story, great anime too bit confusing at first though but thats what makes it nice

Pretty Good

Good and strange story. Makes you care for the protagonists. Fast paced action and but does not bring anything new to the table. Pretty shallow character development, plot is pretty much cookie cutter to about any shonen manga, featuring, a powerful male, and a useless to almost useless female lead who needs lots of saving and a talking cat who used to be human. Series is fun, but if you looking for something different with a lot of depth, keep looking elsewhere.
