narutolvr's manga / #adventure(13)

I see comments saying this manga was confusing or hard to grasp but it's a pretty simple story to grab hold of. It seems complicated because of all the names/backstories of each character they introduce (20+ in only a few volumes = tons of information) but don't let your attention be swayed by that. Just understand that at the start of the story the two clans Kouga and Iga that warred for 1000 years and were forced to form a truce are now given free reign to fight again. Now these clans seemed to be getting on fine and two ninjas (one from each clan) were in love and were scheduled to be married a few days after the truce ended up being dissolved. So the whole story is following how the relationship between the two clans (and by proxy, the lovers) dissolves over the course of a couple of days simply because of the war-mongering nature of the ninja. It's pretty interesting to read and the action scenes -of which there are many- are well drawn.

I really have nothing I can say about this manga except that it was amazing!!!! Read it cover to cover in about 4 hours and only wish I could reread it! Such an underrated manga- it easily stands on the same level as, or higher than more popular survival mangas like Psyren or Eden no Ori.

Loved it, just loved it.

I'm giving this a rare 5 stars because of the way this manga allowed us to connect to the characters, particularly to Karin's family. I adore the end of this manga, where we got to see just how deep their love for Karin went (it makes me tear up every time T_T). But this is a story I would absolutely read again, despite seeming to target a younger demographic than me

I'm happy with the ending; it was a pretty good end for a great story, despite just a feeew inconsistencies with the plot/areas where it didn't make too much sense. I also wished we could have seen how Angelica and Lakshri actually got together/everyone getting on once Sheila returned but...this end isn't too bad either. Corny last lines though lol

It wasn't a bad story though it wrapped up rather quickly so the story of Laku's past was a bit disappointing. Also, the whole issue with the father got resolved without her ever telling him what was on her mind. At the very least, she should have given him a good punch!

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that this isn't more popular than it is; this series is fan-fucking-tastic! I laughed, I cried, I laughed till I cried, and I just wanted more. It's a story that really only improves as time goes by- and the end is really great and completely faithful to the story- it's not a perfect happy end just because we want it to be, unavoidable things are still unavoidable. I could really sing praises of this for days, but that would mean you'd have to waste time reading this instead of the manga. So go for it! ^.^

Did I never put this in my completed list? Oops! :p. What can I say about this manga to accurately portray my love for it? Words don't seem to do it justice. It's stupendous, just absolutely breathtaking. This series will forever stand in my top 5 because the plot, characters, romance is so well developed it serves as an ideal many mangas strive to achieve. We get to see Yuri grow from a scared girl into a physical and mental badass. The side characters don't lose to the MCs by any means in terms of character complexity and awesomeness. The plot is never forced along- the characters' personalities and interactions drive the plot rather than the other way around. I could sing praises for years but I'd rather go reread it ^^

Forgot to add to my completed list- whoops! Um...it was alright, I suppose? Though the story was fairly interesting, I don't think I'd reread it (don't really know why).
