When I saw the cover of the manga one day I thought I should check it out and see what is about.
Boy I get angry every time; even when I re-read it a second time and drop it at the end of the final chapter in the third volume like a rock at the bottom of the ocean and hoping it'll stay there.

In a few pages in; we see our main heroine Misao while she can see supernatural creatures and when her birthday coming up, her friends ask her what she wanted, she cheerily answer 'I want a boyfriend!' and you know where this is going and waited to see the cliches of the supernatural romances stories.

However as the story goes on, I wasn't very impress with it, Black Bird is the true manga counterpart of 'Twilight'.

Misao is really the most useless, weak and, HORRIBLE main Shojo girl; I ever seen, she is so stupid. She always cries; yes I know when you're scare or emotional stress you cry to release the emotion so you won't have a bit of break down later on, but she CRIES EVERY TIME!! and its really getting annoying, she gets kidnapped so many times, you question if she knows about Stranger danger, NOPE she just blindly follow someone/or goes somewhere else she knows/doesn't know into private area where no one is around, then someone tells something about like 'stay away'/'now your mine' she gets attack/almost killed/saved by Kyo or someone else and you know how or what she does from that experience?? NEVER LEARNS FROM IT and keeps putting herself in danger and never gets development.

Kyo is just eye-candy for the reader, he's not interesting and just the typical jerk-perv love interest/boyfriend who 'does love her' and by air-quotes I mean loves her and sexually harass her, I did once believe that he was a little to good for Misao in the chapters *I'm skim a few pages and won't spoil it*' however at the end of the final chapter, my opinion change of him, he does deserve her, The stupid and prick couple.

And later on it added more typical and negative cliches romance/soap opera sub-plots that make you want facepalm..hard in the face.

The art is really pretty, soft and sweet even thou the cover art I question at times and I know the mangaka is doing a good job.

The only thing you can enjoy is the smut and steamy parts in the manga thou it won't last long with some other cringe worthy type of subject in the manga.
