Firstly, if you’re looking for a battle Shonen, mystery or thriller; carry on cause this ain’t it.

This manga is probably most comparable to Rosario to Vampire or maybe a less mature (both in H content and storytelling) Tsugumomo. The manga prioritizes harem first, action far second, sprinkled with touches of ecchi and drama here and there.
It definitely stumbles a bit in its pacing and direction at first but I think it’s starting to get its legs around chapter 8 or so. It differs a bit from the typical dumb unaware harem protagonist by having a somewhat tragically beaten down protagonist that has a strong sense ... of justice that only comes out when he wants to protect people.
So far it hasn’t really done anything too revolutionary but it’s definitely showing signs of potential, some of the backstories are somewhat engaging and the characters (while pretty stereotypical) feel authentic in their actions.
It definitely has the feel of an author desperate to keep their serialization but I think there’s some real potential for a good story to emerge as the author gets more comfortable
Art’s not bad either.

Interesting premise, too much harem.

The plot was decent and actually engaging. The action was entertaining enough, not terrible nor phenomenal. However, it was the harem aspect that was unpleasant.

Every other chapter the main character had someone's boobs pushing up against him, and he would get all flustered. It was annoying. The reaction was realistic, but the situations happened too often. The choice to have this teenage boy end up in situations were he would end up flustered due to his libido was not the best.

For those that can ignore how frequent and annoying those situations are will find themselves with a potentially decent ... manga to read.

Nue no Onmyouji is a waste of time and one of the worst current Weekly Shonen Jump manga. The premise and characters are generic content. The series switches genres at a breakneck pace as if to only confuse the audience, and nothing makes sense as new ideas are piled on top of each other, for reasons never really fully explained. The main character does nothing to drive the plot forward, and has no interesting or redeeming qualities, instead opting to try to stop things from happening. Every chapter, there's more a focus on breasts than anything else with the newest female character moving the plot ... forward while creating boring ecchi situations.

The fact that there is so little to say about this manga says enough. Avoid this series and save yourself the trouble.
