narutolvr's manga / #tragedy(35)

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.

A very heartwarming story, if I remember clearly.

Although I was looking for an actual horror manga so this one didn't exactly fit the bill, but I guess it was pretty good. Such young students/light horror isn't really my cup of tea and the story really seemed to lack any actual suspense (hence no horror tag from me). Rather, around chapter 20, I wanted to stop but steadfastly charged on. It was cute, though, so I'd give it 3 stars. Still dislike the grandmother's character...

Cool. Gonna read the sequel

Hmm..things got a bit confusing in the final chapter and the setup in the beginning was pretty boring, though I understand why the author did it. [Spoiler] I'm curious as to why Battler got back up though? Didn't he already admit defeat? And it's not as if he figured anything out, so does he just want to be tortured again?

This was a good manga, a bit hard to read, but good. I found myself getting bored after a while though, hence the 3 stars, but I really do love the way the author illustrates her characters and portrays their emotions so well.

Hwang Mi-ri has a gift for dragging out a mediocre story for volumes without you feeling bored at all. The whole time, no matter how ridiculous the story got (how unfortunate can one girl be?) I just wanted to know what would happen next. By time I realized it, I'd already read 15 volumes lol. It's how she got me with hot blooded woman. I'm addicted

Such a great story! It's the type of old manga that doesn't rely on the art to move the story along; you get absorbed into the characters' world and genuinely start to feel emotionally attached. This is a josei I'd read on a chilly fall day with a cup of cocoa lol

Left a strong impression on me. A great and quick read!

Ugh such a tear jerker! Glad the two ended up together in the end, though.
