Synopsis

Individuals with Momotarou and Oni blood coursing through their veins maintain a longstanding rivalry. The Oni are careless, rash, and disorderly, while the Momotarou protect the human world from the uncontrollable Oni. Shiki Ichinose is a reckless and irresponsible teenager, aware of his defiance and even proud of his expulsion from school. Despite Shiki's rebellious attitude, his foster father, Tsuyoshi, cares about him deeply.

Tsuyoshi's selfless love is soon shown in an explosive incident when a Momotarou barges in looking for Shiki. As a Momotarou himself, Tsuyoshi has been hiding Shiki for years and keeping his Oni origins a secret even from him. As he gives up his life to save Shiki and confesses everything in his dying breath, Shiki's Oni blood awakens for the first time, transforming him into an unruly monster overflowing with rage and a thirst for revenge.

Shiki's momentary outburst attracts the attention of Naito Mudano, an Oni teacher at the Rasetsu Academy—an institution for young Oni in need of understanding and perfecting their powers. Before Shiki can avenge his father, he must learn to control his headstrong and impulsive nature and, above all, fight against his own demonic blood.

Preliminary (71/? eps)
When I was reading the reviews on this manga here, I keep seeing people saying that this manga has too many plot holes and mistakes, and that it's generic and is just like other mangas. I often get annoyed whenever I see this because these readers only focus on how similar the manga is to other ones and refuse to read the manga for it's actual plot, characters, and world building.

In my personal opinion, I think the characters are pretty well built, Ichinose has a goal, and he may not be the smartest, but his fight scenes(especially with Mikaido) are incredibly good. The way he ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (44/? eps)
So It's been a while since I started reading this and I've wanted to write a review but I just couldn't find the right words to help me convey what I feel about this manga. Slight spoilers ahead btw.

SO first of all the plot is very generic, but generic doesn't mean bad. If it's done in a good way generic can also be good as seen from almost every new gen shounen. But this... is just mid. The story starts with letting us know that Ichinose Shiki (the mc) is a trouble maker, always making trouble for his old man and everyone around him and ...

Preliminary (37/? eps)
Just got done reading all of the current chapters. At first I was enjoying the art and I liked the MC, I'm not too fussed about generic MC's like that. The first few chapters almost gave me mixed vibes between TG, BBB and Blue Exorcist. But then it suddenly changes pace from the academy, to a whole arc elsewhere before we even get time to be with the supporting cast.

At first I didn't mind it too much, thinking it was a new mangaka (with their first series), who has a chance to improve. But nope, it was brought to my attention by someone else that ...
