This is a fun series starter! The art is nice and kind of Soul Eater reminiscent (in the main character's design). I think my personal hang-up is that I'm more interested in Urara and the other yokai than I am in the main character. I'm just not a fan of overpowered meatheads running on their last braincell. Like.... just give me a little brainpower please?

This manga is written by the same person who did Hell's Paradise, so fans of that series, One-Punch Man, and general Shonen manga will appreciate this new series.

Thanks NetGalley and Viz Media for the digital arc!

This was a fast paced and fun read! Very interesting setup, and of course leaves at a cliffhanger! I really like the supernatural aspects of it, and how they are all part of different gangs. I'm excited for the next volume already!

Based on what has happened so far, we are in for a wild ride. I knew Hell’s paradise was crazy and gory, but this is a whole different level in such a creative way too. Interested in seeing where this goes (definitely gives me a mix of chainsaw man and jujutsu kaisen feels)!

-Maruo is hilariously not present mentally unless it involves fighting. He truly is just here for a good time, and that involves fighting ayashimon to the death because fighting humans is too dull. His desire to also catch up on manga and be the characters is a mood and relatable. 
-Urara concerns me as of now because besides avenging her father, she is holding all the cards while using Maruo and not saying anything. My verdict on her is to be decided. 
-I have a feeling I will like Ten (but don’t want to get attached because I have a feeling this is character that might not make it. Who knows? Placing my bet, however in hopes I am wrong)!
-Chairman Doppo Akari terrifies me (like to my core), but I like that because I don’t usually fear the villain/antagonist immediately after being introduced. Yuji Kaku is very good at upping the fear factor. The battle between Maruo and Doppo is next, but I hope he doesn’t die or go away yet cause he brings a peculiar creepy vibe. 
-Hashihime is interesting and mysterious but no opinion yet. 
-Mizuha has the coolest look to me so far. The bored absent vibe is always my favorite, and they seem like a baddie and kind of crazy so I’m sold. 
-I have no idea what to think of the Onmyo Bureau and their random appearances handling business like the men in black lol.

Says, “If we keep our heads down and stay quiet, this’ll blow over eventually” AND THEN IMMEDIATELY RUNS INTO THE BAD GUYS ☠️🤣

I’m highly entertained! I have a good feeling about this one. Just wish more of it was out already.
