A girl and a sword and a demon. Witchblade Takeru sounds like something I'd enjoy so my husband recommended that I read it. It wasn't bad.
The art by Kazasa Sumita really was stunning (if a little over-eroticised but that just might be a difference in culture) and the story was OK. I thought that Kobayashi needed more time to tell it though.
Some of the events seemed to be squashed into place. If a chapter ended with a cliffhanging revelation (which they often did) it was resolved quickly and usually by explaining that the character had either been lied to of they'd heard it wrong. Some of the characters didn't make sense: the librarian, Takeru's friend and the president especially. The relationship between Kou and Takeru was more more interesting and I felt that he could have dealt with that more before jumping into demon killing action. Just as we got to know the characters the whole thing was over. I was a little disappointed.
I'll give this one a 3. OK, but not great.
