It's interesting so far. I am hoping for a relationship between the vampire and Machiru. I am going on to the next book to see where it take me.

I'm excited to be rereading this series. I really enjoyed it when I was younger.

I've owned the whole series for awhile now and I *know* I've read this one before, but I feel like I never actually gave this series the time it deserved... so now I'm trying to get through each book for real!
The pacing is a mess, but the characters are very strong so far, so I'm still invested. Nozomu did have me squealing in bed late last night. The others are cool too. Do they all just transform into gigantic beast things all the time??? What even is Mitsuru... guy's a little brat but I get the feeling he'll grow on us.
And Mahiru is my favorite! Poor girl. She just wants to enjoy her life, and yet things can never go as expected for her. I tend to rag on main characters, so when one sticks out to me, I really get invested in a series. I want good things for her <3
lol that part they were all tossing her around like a baseball
Kind of standard setting-up in this manga but I'm excited to see more!

Tbh it’s a little confusing to read. But I don’t have a werewolf manga in my classroom so I think the kids will like it.

As with any series with a large ensemble cast of characters, Crescent Moon takes a good chunk to introduce everyone and set the state. The prologue and first chapter go about introducing all the characters in a melodramatic and sometimes confusing fashion.
The heroine of the story is Mahiru Shiraishi who is a good luck charm for everyone except herself. She is also plagued by nightmares and visions of demons from an old song about an ill fated romance between a human princess and a demon.
Of course, this being a fantasy, the demons or as they call themselves Lunar Race are real and the desperately need Mahiru's help. She has to decide whether or not to help them and they have to prove to her that they aren't the evil creatures of the stories.
Misunderstandings abound and both sides have to learn to set aside deep seated prejudices if they are going work together.

Where do I begin with this story?
I've always felt this manga series was very undersung and underloved, even when it was being released as I was in high school. The art is still beautiful with a unique style, and the story, the characters, the mythology woven and built in here is phenomenal.
This first volume is PACKED. You're going to get a lot, you're going to learn a lot, right out of the gate. And it's worth it. It always has been.
This series is my baby and it's been far too long since I've revisited it. If my review can convince anyone to pick it up, I sincerely hope it does, even sparse as it is. Trust me, it's worth hunting down all six volumes and reading them.
