In general Hana to Akuma is just about the story of a cute girl and a 200 year old demon. Hana's still quite a little girl, and unlike many other shows that go down the old supernatural being + loli route, Hana actually acts rather kiddy rather than mature.

This threw me off for the first chapter, since the romance wasn't what I was expecting. But Hana quickly won me over with her cuteness. She's the epitome of innocence and easily triggers the "MUST. PROTECT." feeling. It's not hard to see why people would like her.

The romance is pretty innocent as well, which is great considering for most of the manga I can't imagine the two doing anything too mature. Their love is pretty cute to watch. Unlike the usual exciting or hard wrenching romance, this is pretty tame and adorable, being able to put a smile to my face easily.

Vivi's obvious soft spot for our little girl is adorable to watch. You'll expect Vivi to come running to save Hana from anything, since he can't let her out of his sights. Surprisingly, it's rather cute and I look forward to it rather than get annoyed about it. Vivi saving Hana is a recurring theme, so if you're looking for a strong female lead who doesn't need saving, you might be annoyed. (though personally, in this manga I think it's perfectly acceptable)

The art is alright and pleasant to look at, despite not having a huge range of facial expressions. Story wise it's pretty average. Not particularly creative or unpredictable. Things do progress the way I'd usually expect of such a manga, and I don't find myself getting drowned in feels either.

Despite all that, Hana to Akuma isn't boring. It's light and easy to read, and it's likeable and enjoyable. Things never get too annoying, and the story progresses easily and pretty satisfyingly. It's surprisingly funny at times too, which is a plus. The characters are generally likeable as well.

In short do adjust your expectations before reading. What you'll get is a pretty light and cute manga, perfect for shoujo fans who don't want to be disappointed. Don't expect too much dokidoki moments, but do expect cuteness and an overprotective guy. If you're like me, you'll be giggling at every cute thing, and enjoying the happenings as they come. If you're lookinn for something without too much investment and doesn't frustrate you, reading Hana to Akuma will be a great way to spend your time.
