This is the worlds most underated manga ever made. Possible the most underated thing in this world.
This series is just as bleach but more serious and less humor.

As most series it starts out a little wierd but later it turs into a masterpiece.
The story follows a boy named Kyoshiro, a medecinman who only wants to help people but an bounty hunter yuya misstakes kyo for Demoneyes kyo and caputre him. Later on he Kyoshiro changes into Demoneyes kyo in a dangerous situation. And some chapters in the future he changes into him permanently.
Then story follows him trying to found his own body. It sounds ... simple but the story is very good.
This action manga is like bleach but better.
If you like shonenseries like naruto or bleach etc you will fall in love with this masterpiece.
Its a shame this series hasnt gotten as much attention as it should.

Dont be fooled by the anime. This series has 38 volumes and anime 24 episodes and the anime is not even the same story. Get my point?
When i say that this will be one of the greatest manga you will ever read, i aint lying.

~ I dislike long reviews so this will be short and concise ~

You disliked the anime? Frankly, who didn't? Don't be fooled, the manga is very different.


~ Giving it a try ~
Demon Eyes Kyo is the protagonist of this story so UNTIL YOU'VE READ AT LEAST ONE CHAPTER WHEN KYO'S IN CONTROL OF KYOSHIRO'S BODY (chapter 6 I think), YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THE SERIE.


~ Review ~
... You can all read the synopsis on the front page so I won't go there.
I'll add that each character has a quest of their own and they all seek to be the strongest man which often brings them to fight one another for their ideals. This is my favorite part; each their own quest, each their own desires and they all respect that.

So, on top of Yuya's quest to find her brother's murderer...
=> Kyo is on a quest to find his body...
=> Benitora is in the group to spy on Kyo...
=> Bontenmaru wants to rule the world...
=> Hotaru... what does he want? ^^'
And MANY other characters you'll have the pleasure to meet.



In short, get past the first ... let's say 10 chapters and I DARE YOU to put this manga down. :3

my ideas may feel out of place but bear with me


I'll get to the point, the author tried to copy naruto(ninjas) with samurais, the only difference was that the mc was a little different as he didn't talk much, but the side characters did the talk for him such as he did this and that act for this reason ...

Each fight was in the following loop
- mc or one of his friends meet a really tough opponent
- they got beaten up badly
- a flashback is brought in were our fighter need to protect the mc and his friends
- new power unlocked : ... power of friendship
- the villain is beaten up
- the villain needs to protect as well, a fight follows up
- then the fight end, and the mc or someone
doesn't kill the villain because of some weird reason

No one of the mc and his friends dies, even tough they are full of injuries they keep fighting and never once they got killed, they always come out as winners

The fmc was useless, never fought but kept being a burden, and screaming the name of the mc when he's losing or that she believes he will come and save her

The story was messed up,too many plotholes and contradictions for many of the secrets revealed later on the story

I'll give some examples (spoilers)
After hearing the name "sakuya", the mc wake up completely and take over the body, but in the end we know that there's barely any relationship between the two, nothing major and crucial to give him the urgency to wake up

The second mc and some of the mc friends kept telling yuya(fmc) that the mc made every girl he knew unhappy, but never once we saw why, neither it seems likely

We never know how the second mc took the mc body, nor how the latter soul ended up in the same body as the former, and what make it even funny is that after regaining his body, the mc is forced out by the second mc from his body, while the mc can't do the same even though he is the main host

At first , the narrative  was that the mc was always in jail when he way young by his clan, but later for some reason he end up in a remote place killing one of the villains and  foiling the villain and his clan ambitions ...

I can keep going on and on with the contradictions and loopholes,  that it makes me regrets having read this manga
