~3/5

I surprisingly don’t feel like I’m missing anything from not reading the previous books in this series, and also like I don’t even need to read them to get more attached to the characters. All of the chapters are so episodic that it doesn’t really feel like it matters.

They are surprisingly enjoyable at times, though. And it kind of makes me want to actually read the Inuyasha volumes, because I was a fan of that series.

There’s a lot of one-shot chapters, nothing too exciting. And then we meet a witch, who’s using a crystal ball that Rinne wants for a reward. She’s an interesting character, who can see the future at times, and I like the banter. There’s some competitions, the couple cures a few characters, including a girl haunted by a scarecrow she tried to fix.

This is an all right series to me, and I don’t mind reading the random volumes I receive, but I don't really plan on collecting the rest.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Over twenty volumes in and something that's becoming increasingly apparent is that this series is sorely lacking in an over-arching plot, character development and progression, and complex characterization in general. Characters show back up whom I don't remember because they had little to no impact and felt like one-off characters to begin with. Why make characters reoccuring if you aren't going to do anything with them??
