Резюме
Misao Harada has been able to see demons since she was a child and has vague memories of a boy who protected her from these troublesome creatures, vowing to come back for her someday. Now in high school, Misao wishes she could be normal and have a boyfriend. As she returns home one day, she notices a gorgeous stranger has moved in next door. To her surprise, he introduces himself as Kyou, her long-lost childhood friend and first love.
The next day, on her 16th birthday, Misao is suddenly wounded by a classmate. Exposed as a demon, he plans to eat her in order to gain eternal youth. When all hope seems lost, Kyou saves her, revealing himself as the leader of a Tengu clan. Since making Misao his bride will bring prosperity to his clan, he offers her a choice: sleep with him and become his bride, or endure more attacks from other demons drawn to the power of her blood.

Black Bird review
I loved it. I really did. I don't regret any part of it and I will surely read it again.
The plot is interesting. It's definitely a 10 for me. It had moments of highs and lows, fluff and tears but overall this is one of those mangas I won't forget. I'm not a great fan of fantasy and supernatural when it comes to romance mangas but I really loved this. The characters were great too.They were funny and each person's personality contributed in making this piece wholesome. Just how much I love the lovey-doviness of the main characters. It's so beautiful. So will I recommend it? 100% YES. Go for it. Give it a try and I hope you'll get to enjoy it the way i did. |
Black Bird review
Ok, I don't really read manga that often except when someone recommends the manga better than the actual anime. This particular manga was not animated so I had to read it. During the first 5 chapters I could only recall Vampire Knight and Twilight (Ugh). It's about Tengu's (are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion) however, not vampires. The dummy girl is desirable to these Tengu creatures and everyone's fighting over her. One extremely hot Gives-you-nose-bleeds Tengu (Part of the reason why I highly rated the Art) is in love with her and feels the urge to overly protect her. Oh,
and has got his whole family of HOT tengu's protecting her. Hello Reverse Harem!! I hate her character, she's always weak and needs protection. Too much unnecessary kissing. Too much blood but the story isn't that deep. The mangaka seemed to just like the scene of blood although it wasn't a bloody anime. Not sure if it's for teenage girls or horny boys. Either way, I stopped at chapter 20 because : mind-f**k :D

Black Bird review
Black Bird is one of my favorites manga. The art has a very clean and minimalist expressions that ties well with the course of the storyline. It gives the story a little naive and innocent expression, and it suits very well to the manga, without the art takes control over the storyline.
Black Bird is a supernatural shōjo manga written and illustrated by Kanoko Sakurakoji. The story is very typical drama and fits nicely if you're looking for something romantic and indvolves delicious men with supernatural faculties. |
Black Bird review
Hmm what to say about Black Bird. Words fail me, but here I am. Black Bird is the type of story that normally I would enjoy (genre-wise), but somehow it just didn't work out with BB. It takes all the bad parts about shoujo stories and combines them into one. Somehow, I still wanted to finish it though, so I guess that says *something* about the manga, though I'm not sure what exactly that something is.
Story (4): the story itself was kind of 'meh'. It's not the worst I've ever read, but there really wasn't a point. It was very predictable. After reading about half the story, I already knew what was going to happen. Art (6): I thought the art was actually pretty nice. It's not amazing or particularly noteworthy, but it's clean and easy to understand. I didn't like how big Misao's eyes were, though. They took up half her face sometimes. I also didn't really like most of her outfits. The art is fine, but it isn't good enough to cover up for the poor story. Character (3): the characters were the weakest part of this story. Misao has NO agency. I don't think she ever decides to do anything on her own. I don't want to give away what happens, so pardon me for being vague, but the only time she ever really "decides" to do something for herself, it's not really even a decision, it's just accepting the inevitable. For most of the manga, all I could think about was how much easier everyone's lives would be if Misao just died. It's not that I wanted her to die...but I kind of did. It disturbed me how infantalized she was. She cried on every other page. who cries that often? It was excessive even by shoujo standards. I also could never understand why Misao and Kyou even loved each other. Misao didn't really have much of a personality, and Kyou spent most of his time maintaining a poker face. It was also annoying that all of the "Great 8" were male. In one of the omake about the mangaka's life, she mentioned that one of her editors suggested that one of the Great 8 be a female, but it was rejected. Why? I really don't understand. The only girls in this manga are Misao, Misao's mom, Misao's 2 friends, Kyou's cousin, Kyou's mom, and Shou's female sidekick (who just kind of disappears after she is no longer relevant to the plot), and the fox head's girlfriend (also disappears without explanation). There's also 1 girl in a side story (Zenki's sister), but she isn't a part of the main BB plot since she has her own story. There were many characters who were introduced, never developed, and then forgotten. They weren't even "put on a bus"; they just disappeared. In my opinion, the characters are the most important part of a story. If you don't care about the characters, why should you care about what happens to them? I did not care about the characters of BB, so the story wasn't very compelling. Enjoyment (5): I think that if you like Twilight, you will probably like this kind of story. It has a lot of similarities. Misao is JUST LIKE BELLA, in a very bad way. I read to the end because I wanted to see what would happen. It's like eating a box of chocolates, hoping that at least one of them will be good, and then feeling sick at the end because you ate allll that sugar, and none of them were good. I hoped that Misao would finally do something other than be rescued and hate herself, but it never happened. Honestly, I do not recommend this manga. I wanted it to be good, and I wanted to like it, but it was lacking in many ways. The notes left by the mangaka throughout each volume are heartwarming and it really seems like she tried hard, but in the end it was very disappointing. |
Black Bird review
This Manga is first and foremost an EPIC LOVE story. I would recommend it for mature readers due to the Sexual content but also because there are a lot of mature themes like death, betrayal and sacrifice that a mature audience may appreciate more.
I really enjoyed this Manga because it was really satisfying to watch the relationship between Kyo and Misao develop and their back story was very sweet. It's refreshing to see the their love being expressed with their actions and not just with words. If you really loved someone, would you not want to be with them all the time, touch them, kiss them and plan your future with them in the center of your mind? That is exactly what happens here and it is beautiful to read and feel their struggle through those thoughts. Kyo is a man of few words but his actions speaks volumes as to how much he loves Misao. He can be a little childish and jealous but this kind of male character does not bother me because i think it's very realistic to be like that when you love someone THAT much. It was funny to see Kyo jealous and the lengths he went sometimes to make Misao jealous was hilarious. At no point does he hit her, try to rape her or bully her so I don't understand why he is often described as an ASS. He loves her and protects her! He teases her for fun and this adds to a lot of their banter throughout the manga. Again, it's very realistic for a couple to joke, tease and play around with each other. Misao is not weak. Yes, she is protected by nearly all the male characters in the manga but SHE HAS NO POWERS! She has to be protected when she is attacked by demons. How can she fight back? She is a 16 year old HUMAN girl with no powers! But even then, there is a time in the story where she does fight back which is very admirable! She is portrayed crying a lot but this is not because she is weak. She cries because she is scared (Wouldn't you be if there were demons trying to kill and eat you all the time) She cries because she is compassionate because she knows of the hardships that Kyo, her friends and even her enemies have gone through. She cries because she is AWARE of her own inability to help the people around her. The fact that she is AWARE of all this is refreshing to see. Also, she doesn't immediately fall in love with Kyo the minute he arrives (I hate stupid girls like that) and she helps him through some tough family and political issues in his village so she isn't always the damsel in distress. Their struggle to be together is the main theme behind the progress of the story but there is also some decent action and interesting plot surrounding Kyo as the head of his clan. The last ARC is the most EPIC and heart wrenching but SOOO worth it. I could not stop reading and was on the edge of my seat till the very end. There are also deep side characters with interesting back stories and even the bad guys are not just merely bad guys. There is a lot of depth in this anime which can make it hard to understand the first time around, but I have read it 3 times and every time i re-read it I am learning and seeing subtle hints about characters and the story that I missed before. If you're ready for a truly satisfying love story that is more than saying I love you, holding hands and ending with a kiss then this is it! |
Black Bird review
It was unexpected that I found such amazing manga to read, and was my first manga that I needed to have it in book in my home.
It was adventure, romance, actions sad and happy. I was totally into book when I was reading. it was amazing emotions. Art it is great, might could be better but I love it. It is very rarely thing to find such amazing manga, specially when I have very high expectations. It is just sad that I finished reading so fast that I can't believed I done it so fast, all because when I found something interested my world is manga xx. Thanks |
Black Bird review
Black Bird is one of those manga that you love at one point but then hate when the chapters start going nowhere.
Story: 7 Black Bird is about teenage girl (Misao) who can see little spirits and things from the underworld. One day she comes across a demon man (Kyo). It turns out this man was the boy who once played with her when she was little. When they were children the man said he would marry her. Shortly after he disappeared. Now he's back and has come to claim what is his. The story kicks off with your usual shoujo facotrs. Boy loves girl. Girl is creeped out by pervy boy. Boy pursues girl. Girl pushes him away. Boy shows true love (by means of protection, ect.) Girl starts falling for boy. I could go on and on. When the main problem is solved of course other sub plots pop up. This is where the story either gets good or bad, depending on your opinion. At first it was okay. The girl would get attacked then the boy would save her. The girl was being chased and sexual harassed by other boys, and of course, the main boy would save her. This is all good and well if the author knows when to stop. It seems as if this is what happens in Black Bird with the boy and the girl dont have their lovey dovey moments. In my opinion I sometimes wish the author would just stop introducing more characters and focus on the main and supporting ones. Art: 8 The art in this manga is very appealing. Kyo, Misao's love interest, is a very good looking man. His dark demeanor but also gentle face is a factor that gets most fangirls (such as myslef) squealing. The other boys/men in this manga are also good looking. Misao is very pretty, her round eyes give her an almost middle school innocent girl look. Character: 7 The only reason I rated character a 7 is because the author is introducing way too many character in her sub plots. I can't keep up with all of them to be honest. The ones the she introduces end up not even being talked about in the next volume/chapter. This is another major flaw in Black Bird Enjoyment: 8 I have to say I do love this manga. The romance and I guess cruel chivalry (if there is such a thing) of Kyo makes me squeal whenever he has a love scene with Misao. There are definitely some steamy parts in this manga, but nothing too graphic. I do not recommend this manga for people who are not used to seeing a lot of kissing, part nudity,sexual torture, and even blood at points. If you're okay with all these factors then by all means, go for it! |
Black Bird review
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. |
Black Bird review
Black bird is truly amazing. It has all the things I love. Deep romance, fighting, laughter and silly times, and just the heart warming part are great too. To be honest, this is the first manga I have read. I mainly watch anime, but this was a very cute story. I must say that the drawing and artwork are very well done even though I got confused during some parts. Overall, I think that this is a very good manga!
