Reminded me a lot of Jujutsu Kaisen, but that's merely the first impression. Let's see how it goes, I'm always up for Jump shit.

Thought the first chapter was ok. I do like the characters though so I'll continue reading.

It was decent I guess. Like nothing really struck me other than the art and panelings which were pretty good. Let's see how it goes.

The first chapter was fun. I think this manga will stick for a while.

I liked this first chapter, the relationship between the two MCs was really cute.

Classic shounen setting and premise but I did like it and the art style is cool. Here's to hoping this survives.

Isn't this somewhat like Monster #8, but well some of those panels were really good. So decent start I guess.

Not bad but it feels like it's striking off a checklist of popular supernatural manga

hoping for a bright future, but the first chapter was crammed full with every single modern anime trope you can think of, not many original thoughts, but its only the first chapter all of that could easily change soon.

Well, the first chapter was pretty cliche, but it wasn't so bad. I like the art and the characters design. Smol mononoke also is cuteness overload.

I dislike the first chapter for some reason, I didn’t find story interesting. I know is only the first chapter but as a fan of Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, etc this manga wasn’t for me, let’s see if it improves with later chapters.

I also found myself thinking about Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer while reading this. It wasn't a bad first chapter, although with some major cliches. But I will read some more chapters to see where this will lead.

getting tons of Demon Slayer vibes from this manga off the first chapter alone.

Not bad but not super blown away yet. But I do like the main character.

I know this seems generic to some people but I really found it to be enjoyable despite this.
I read other works from this author before, so I really hope that this series ends up being a success.

I liked it but it still felt like a copy of a bunch of different manga. I am fine with it, but it still sort of bothers me.

Nothing that blew me away, but I did enjoy the chapter quite a bit
Really good art, panelling and a fun dynamic between Dora (am I the only one who finds this name funny?!) and Kusanagi

I wonder if the Samurai corps name (Izanagi) and the friendly Mononoke (Kusanagi) are taken from naruto or from other actual mythology

But I'm pretty sure the friendly Mononoke is called Kusanagi cuz it might come from Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi which is a legendary Japanese sword, it represents the virtue of valour (quite a fitting name)

I'm a bit more iffy on the Samurai force's name cuz, well here's the meaning (I think) behind it:
Izanagi and Izanami, (Japanese: “He Who Invites” and “She Who Invites”) in full Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the central deities (kami) in the Japanese creation myth. They were the eighth pair of brother-and-sister gods to appear after heaven and earth separated out of chaos

they are creators, not protectors so idk, maybe it is a naruto reference

Also Mononoke (the monsters) roughly translate to vengeful spirits

ALSO ALSO ALSO

The monster that killed Dora's mother has the same mark as Kusanagi

Kusanagi:

but that might just be a Mononoke thing and not Kusanagis dark past

Not bad start, even though a bit cliche!!!
It reminded me a bit of Bleach and specially World Trigger. Let's see were it goes!

Pretty generic and bland, but it’s only chapter 1. Has potential if the author knows what they’re doing.

The series almost immediately lost me with the whole "MC has 0% supernatural ability" trope, but the rest of the chapter from there was enjoyable. Certainly very generic, but competently executed. Seems like it could be fun.

Impossible to tell from a single chapter. We'll have a basic idea a couple months from now. In about like three months or so, we should be able to tell if it's likely to get cancelled or not, and obviously if it gets cancelled it's not getting an anime.

Kaijus, Mononokes and Digimons (I just thought about Data Squad after seeing Kusanagi) can definitely be awesome (although they are no match against Makima, the greatest devil) but this one didn't really do it for me. Artstyle wasn't the worst but I didn't love it either. And think chapter 1 was pretty generic, but okay, everything can change by (in this case) giving a plot twist.
