Mizuho Kusanagi

An attempt on the part of the demon Ura to steal the magic of mystic and high school student Yayoi has left him in the shape of a cat, which Yayoi takes with her as she goes about her demon-defeating missions.

I really felt like I was left hanging. Like so much more should have happened! It just didn't feel at all like an ending. Like the series was just dropped. I wanna know what happened!

A manga from my childhood that I think lived up to my memory fairly well. I liked the characterization of both leads and their chemistry a lot. Yayoi is refreshingly competent and cool-headed with her fair share of charm and Ura has a lot of depth behind the brusque facade. And also him as a cat is just so cute. The art of the cat is just as endearing as I remember. My only gripes are how short it is. It’s so short that it can’t really expand on any of the cool stuff (the 108 spirits, Ouga’s redemption or continuing fall, the King’s curse, etc.) that it brings up. I wish it was at least 6 volumes but alas I will take the 2 we have. I also saw that it’s the same author as Yona of the Dawn (which makes complete sense to me) so I might check that series out next.
