Mugen Spiral

I so badly want to give this manga 10/10 but I just can't. The story had a great hook, the art and characters were great, but there wasn't a proper ending. The mangaka very obviously dropped this project or else they wouldn't have introduced a plot twist with new characters. This manga had so much potential so it's very disappointing that it didn't reach its full worth.

HOWEVER, this does not mean that the story we are given isn't still worth reading! Though it leaves us with unanswered questions I still really enjoyed reading it nonetheless. It is extremely unlikely that it will ever be remade after such a long time, but I'd like to hope that someday I'll get the answers to my questions!

I found myself highly enjoying every minute of this manga…so much so that i felt the need to write a review! This really is a must-read for anyone…i guess it just left that big of an impact on me. I've reread this manga and I wish i could buy it…that's how much i love it. You see…it's really difficult to find a manga…or even an anime…with a plot about demons and romance that's actually terrific, so I must say that this is one of the best. Sure…it could be a little predictable at times, but other than that it was AWESOME! Full stars for this one.

This manga has the potential to be an 8-10, I rated the story/art/character/enjoyment as 8 but I just can't give it a high overall rating mainly because of the ending. The story is really good and the characters are very likable the only problem is the ending which for me doesn't even count as an ending, it's like the mangaka simply decided to end the story right there and then when there is soooooo much more to do with the story. The ending was so abrupt!

A good read but don't get to attached or the ending will make you want to search for the mangaka and strangle her until she decided to continue and put a satisfying ending on it. :)

This manga is probably best summarised as disappointing. It starts off with flying colours. The mangaka molds a good plot, comedy and a developing romance nicely into a story that really draws you in and keeps you interested. The art is pleasing to look at and the characters are very likable. It had the potential to be a 9 or 10. Unfortunately (and I can not fathom why), there is no end. It is not even a case of a weak ending or an ending I didn't like, it is almost as if the mangaka decided they couldn't be bothered continuing the manga anymore so just slapped the word finished on the last chapter they were working on. There are so many unanswered questions, not to mention a great plot twist (had it been followed through) and intriguing characters introduced just before the end which have no explanation as the manga stops so suddenly. All in all, the ending really lets down a manga which had the potential to be so much more.

ALRIGHT!!!...SO I LOVE THIS MANGA!...It is VERY similar to other mangas(such as Inuyasha) but DO NOT BE FOOLED...This manga is FAR BETTER than Inuyasha...:)...Well...I love Inuyasha but I LOVE LOVE Mugen Spiral...:)

Story: So I gave the story a 10. The story is about a Demon named Ura who comes to the human world to try to gain a girl's powers to become stronger...(at least that is what we are lead to believe in the beginning...;])...ANYHOW...The story is cute filled with romance, exciting fighting scenes, funniness, and things that will overall make your heart flutter...:)...It is a good story and it is an absolute GREAT read.

Art: So art is a 9...I really don't mind the art on this manga...The art is in fact GREAT...it is drawn pretty darn well...:)...I like it...:P

Characters: THIS IS A 10...unlike Inuyasha and most mangas like it I wasn't annoyed by a SINGLE CHARACTER in this manga...Yayoi is thoroughly able to be independent, she is not whiny nor is like the typical heroine. She is strong and she is able to stand alone and take care of herself and THAT is what is the BIG difference between Mugen Spiral and Inuyasha. All the characters in this are strong, they can all be funny, cute, and they are absolutely overall FANTASTIC...NONE of them are annoying in ANY way...:)

Enjoyment: 10!!! 10 ALL THE WAY!!!...I LOVE LOVE this manga...in fact as soon as I was done reading it the first time...I read it again...IMMEDIATELY...:)...Everything about this Manga is great and I THOROUGHLY, ABSOLUTELY enjoyed it. I couldn't stop reading it, I read both volumes in about 2 hours(more or less), and I just ate up the pages.:)...FANTASTIC...:)

Overall: I Give this manga a 10. Even though it is not really an original story it is none the less FANTASTIC...read this if you haven't and don't expect it to be like ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER READ OR SEEN...:) The concept may be the same as other mangas but that is pretty much where the similarities end.:)...I can't get enough of Mugen Spiral and I want MORE...:)...in fact my ONLY problem with it is that fact that there is only 12 chapters!!!...:)

The plot has been rather adequately reviewed, but I wanted to quickly add my two cents (more of a warning, really): there is absolutely no closure at the end of this story. I imagine this manga was inexplicably and immediately dropped, because not one single thing is resolved. This is a story that ends in the middle. It's fantastic up until that point. It has so much promise. It's fun and entertaining, with great art and characters. But you WILL get blueballed at the "end." I read it weeks ago, and I'm still bewildered.

Just wanted to let y'all know before you decide to jump in. It really is a worthwhile read - just one that drops off a cliff.
