I've met a demon before.
Kokuryuu Kaguya is an orphaned teenager working part-time job at a coffee shop while he attends school, to help his aunt keep her inn open.
One ordinary day, after being forced to fight his school bully because he ratted him and his good for nothing friends out on shoplifting, (though, unintentionally) Kokuryuu is met with a bubbly, sweet, adorable...
Rabbit-girl..?
Mao is a peculiar kind of alien, one of a race born and raised on Earth's moon, and whose duty it is to defend our planet.
Mao is a Battle Rabbit.
The Battle Rabbits are interstellar warriors, and Mao only (crash-) landed on Earth for one reason.
"That form... A Battle Rabbit like me?!"
Dark demons known as ogres, monsters that feed on the life energy of depression, anger, and all negative emotions, roam the lands, killing their hosts and reeking havoc.
The Battle Rabbits are the only force strong enough to protect the human race from them.
And Kokuryuu is now one of that force.
Avenging the death of his father, and stumbling into the secret life of a multimillionaire CEO who isn't as he appears, Kokuyuu is determined to get to the bottom of his strange origins.
... If the ogres don't kill him first.
Ha! This is freaking adorable.
First you have this scrawny little dweeb playing the whole Peter Parker gambit, a little bunny rabbit girl hopping around with a laser canon rifle and to make things even better, there's all this over-exaggerated posing, announcement of one's station/position, and dramatics of a shonen anime.
The character development is non-existent, the world-building is sloppy, and the plot is as coherent as a fever dream, but the whole thing was frakking cute and lots of fun, what with these blushy, overdramatic characters and flash-bang action scenes.
art specs
Suuuper generic. The MC looks like CLAMP character, except with flatter facial expressions.
Mao was really cute, but not really different from any other cute female in this medium.
Passable. Not bad. Just seen it before. I've been spoiled by Isayama and Hirano.
I will say the action was fluid and moved well. Yukino has a good grasp on movement.
This is a slowly updated and slower translated series, so if you want to jump aboard, now's a good time.
An anime of this series would do great among the SAO and Gode Geass crowd.

I finally got to reading this book after it's been on my shelf for months! I decided to pick up this title because it's by the same person who created 07 Ghost and that is one of my favorite series
For the first volume, I felt like things progressed slowly but well for the type of story. I think the concept of it is interesting but it does follow the typical shounen story of the protagonists who wants to get revenge for a loved one getting murdered. The interesting part are the Battle Rabbits, which are a magical Moon race that protects the Earth. I'm curious as to where this is going so I will be continuing

A lot of the time in magical girl (or boy) anime, a character is ashamed of their magical form. I often wondered why, thinking they looked so cool and that I’d love to be seen looking like them. But in Battle Rabbits, the shame and bashfulness finally makes sense. I think that this design is meant to call upon this feeling of a kind of fashion and form that’s extremely humanoid, but so oddly alien at the same time. Most people likely wouldn’t want to be recognized in this form— I know that I wouldn’t.
Battle Rabbits was surprisingly a lot more fun than the cover made me feel that it would be. It gave off a feeling of a blend of a magical girl and shonen manga from the early 2000’s. The character design and world-building are both engaging, and I really want to draw fan art of Mao and even Kaguya in his battle rabbit form.
This manga is just a fun story to hop through; I can’t say that there’s much to invoke deeper thought as of yet.

Esto es para público adolecente si se quiere un poquito de seriedad aqui no se esta nada bienvenido, la verdad continué leyendo porque estan bonitos los dibujos, siempre quise saber como acaba, solo son 4 volumenes, y no siempre quiero pensar.
Esto va de que nuestro querido protagonista tiene un pasado trágico y en tiempo presente se descubre ser un extraterrestre único en poseer la piedra dorada y heredero a la corona de la luna porque sailor moon (típica historia del elegido o chosen one), ahora percibe al mundo de forma "paranormal o espiritual" (cfi con fantasia, aqui a los autores les encanta mezclar ciencia, magia y espíritus) y explica un poco que su trágico pasado no fue causa de una alucinación o trauma los "demonios" sí existen, se enfrenta a nuevos peligros que lo van a llevar a necesitar ayuda de sus nuevos compañeros tambien residentes de la luna para superar traumas, sentimientos negativos, a perdonar, aceptar su nueva realidad y acabar con los enemigos.
Este volumen es la introducción normal del protagonista y sus compañeros, explica un poco de que va la historia, creo que tiene un aire yosei pero tal vez no llega a serlo, tiene suficiente acción, ciencia ficción con fantasía, comedia, algo de drama y un poquito de misterio, el arte muy bonito. Mis peros son que la historia del protagonista es muy parecida a la obra anterior de los mismos autores (07-ghost) donde tiene que superar el deseo de la venganza por la muerte de alguien cercano, prácticamente se esta repitiendo el mismo personaje pero aun así la historia se siente fresca por asi decirlo, ya veremos los siguientes volúmenes.
NOTA: Hay como 6 capítulos gratis para leer online, es el primer volumen completo y como 2 capítulos del segundo volumen por si a alguien le interesa es mejor conocer un poco primero.
-Esto podria necesitar un spoiler alert, ahi jusguen- Aqui va mi recomendación sincera de los 4 volumenes porque ya la leí completa: Lo mejor que leí fue lo que estuvo gratis en internet, asi que sinceramente sí está entretenido pero no vale la pena comprarlo, solo para los fans de 07-ghost que consuman todo lo que salga de esa historia y de los que les gustan los dibujos bonitos como a mi. NO APTO para los que les gusta amarrar cabos sueltos. Ojalá sacaran libro porque por el final se ve que la idea iba a ser interesante, como quedó me deja sentimiento de vacío.
Colorin colorado esta reseña se ha acabado.

I like the plot, I LOVE the art style and character designs, and the dialogue isn't terrible. My only problem with the dialogue is that Mao says 'desu' at the end of almost every speech bubble.
Takanomiya also rubs me the wrong way because he made it seem like he was going to let Kaguya come to him. Instead, he tricks, manipulates, and hypnotizes Kaguya into joining them. Kaguya doesn't join under his own free will. I have a problem with that. I understand it's only 4 volumes and they have to get through the story while building the world, but something could have been under his own free will. He can't even take the ring off that they forced on him.

Closer to 3.5 stars.
If I read this when I was first getting into manga at like 12-13 I would swear up and down that this is a masterpiece. It's very cute and fun despite being almost entirely made of tropes and themes that are super played out in action manga (or even manga in general) by now, but the fact that the hero battles by convincing people to think positively and not just with action is kinda neat. Also, is it possible for me to dislike like something that has rabbits as a motif? All signs point to no.

An engaging start to an entertaining new series by the duo of 07-ghost. The first installment is already filled with adventure, action, laughs, and emotion. I can't wait for more.

I dunno. I guess I was hoping for and expecting something clever and ended up with what it basically a magical girl story.

An interesting first volume. I wouldn’t mind continuing if I stumble upon the next few volumes.

I love Hijiri! He reminds me so much to Frau 😭💖
The story feels rushed but I’m liking it more now that I’m re-reading it again.

J'aime ça! C'est tellement amusant à lire, mais je pense que c'est basé sur Naruto. Certains noms sont identiques et certains pouvoirs sont identiques. J'aime vraiment ce livre! ;)
