Spirit Circle, in my opinion, is an example of a story that has an incredibly interesting premise and carries itself well for 2/3rds of its run, but comes crashing down in the final third with a very contrived and banal conclusion. It really soured my experience on the series as a whole, and what could've easily been a 9 or 10/10 series instead ended up as a disappointment, although it was still enjoyable.

Story: 7/10. Easily a 9/10 up until the final act or two, but once the story started tying itself up it was a huge let-down. The story was building itself up so well only to fall flat, and do it in the most cliche way possible despite originally being a series built on nuance and ambiguity.

Art: 9/10. It's pretty charming and very consistent.

Character: 8/10. For the most part, decently done. Each character is unique and memorable, and there is a good interwoven connection between them.

Enjoyment: 7.5/10. I did enjoy Spirit Circle as a whole, but my interest waned substantially around the end. I'd say my enjoyment was at its peak during the first 70% of this series.

Overall: 7/10. Spirit Circle is an interesting manga that fails to deliver in the end, but still has some things worth reading. It helps that in addition to being an overarching narrative, it also has smaller subplots that take shape within the overall story, so even though I was disappointed by the ending, I still liked how some of those subplots were handled.
