Product Description
R to L (Japanese Style). He loves her blood, but does her love her?! Kyo, the head of the Tengu demon clan, is Misao's only chance for survival. But even though she has sweet memories of him as a childhood friend, she has trouble reconciling them with the man he has become. Despite the strange attraction, can she trust her life, let alone her heart, to a man who only cares about the promise of her blood? There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magic realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand?or her life!

 Cute falling in love story... with demons.... of course.... November 13, 2009
Jessie Potts (Terre d'Ange)
This is an adorable novel with a hint of maturity. I like seeing Kyo at school, but I really want to see more of the demons and Kyo's demonic side... which we got a peek at in book 1. This book is rated teen so obviously there are going to be sexual references as well as more mature and adult content.
I really liked seeing the angst and hatred between Kyo's brother (whom he took the clan away from) and the clansmen. Yes it's like a harem but so is alot... think Ouren High School Host Club, all the yaoi, Bound Beauty, the Devil within... exc. The character in my eyes is a slight cry baby, but then again I might be too if I get attacked, blood drunk, claimed as a bride, memories shot, kidnapped and all around chased.... hmmmm I might be a bit of a crybaby. What I am interested in is seeing where this story goes. In Bloody Kiss the hero and heroine get together at book 2... so maybe no book 3? But in most manga it takes a while... that's the entire plot line build up. So while they didn't 'officially' get together in this book, it seems like the choice to go forward was made and I'm curious to see what trouble and enemies come in the next books. Overall it's a fun series and one worth reading.
 Story is heading in a direction I don't like November 8, 2009

I liked the first volume of Black Bird enough to order the second one. Unfortunately the story now seems a bit unsettling. A group of Kyo's clan members (all good-looking men, or boys, of course) shows up and now it's starting to seem very Fruits-Basket-like with the demonic characters all flocking around the heroine, heroine in danger, demonic characters rescuing her, etc. (The author, or maybe the translators, even make a joke about "Tengu Host Club.")
Also, the sexual references are stronger in this one, and it's not quite clear to me, but at the end it appears the heroine is so immobilized by lust that she simply allows Kyo to take her. But I'm not certain about that. Anyway, it's not entertaining to me anymore so I won't be continuing with Black Bird.
