So far I'm totally neutral about this manga. =_=;

The story hasn't perked my interest at all (I'm not a big fan of mangas related too much to Japanese folklore...orz), neither have any of the characters made any impression on me (I wish the main chara would drop his glasses though - glasses guys annoy me...). e_e;

Bleh, we'll see how it goes, might read another chapter...maybe. =A=;

I will keep reading it for sure, unless it becomes really boring... So far I wasn't bored (I was more focused on checking the characters), but I wasn't impressed either.

I also think Chikahito is cuter without his glasses, but oh, well. I'm not a bit fan of glasses characters either, but I used to like Watanuki and I love Fujimoto from Kobato, so glasses won't be a big problem for me.

I think I'm neutral about it so far 'x'
W-which is not what I was expecting haha, I think I was expecting to like it right away.

I guess I couldn't really make out much from the story, so I don't really have an opinion about it either. I don't really have an opinion about the characters either yet TwTU (it's a bit too soon for me) B-but in terms of character design, I love Hana.

I'll keep reading too! Hopefully it'll pick more my interest!

Maybe I was expecting to be hooked from the first chapter too, though that's very hard to do for any manga. I guess my main problem for now is that no character caught my attention deeply, though I'm pretty sure if I keep reading, both Chikahito and Sakura will grow in my heart.
I'm not sure about Hana and Tachibana though, which kinda sucks because that'll probably mean I'll be hooked to no pairing at all @A@;

I like Hana's character design too, she's adorable. I wish I had liked her in this chapter, but I it's too soon to determine I won't like her later on, I hardly know her for now.

In any case, it's CLAMP, so I'm going to keep reading.

*^__^* I really liked this first chapter... the inking has a wonderful "X" vibe to it, and so far the story seems like a cute one that can turn dark (all CLAMP!).

I can't really say anything about the characters yet, Hana reminded me of Dita from Chobits http://usuarios.multimania.es/dinamic25/personajes/zima_dita.jpg , but a lot more cat-like. I wonder if each of the supernatural guys represents a Japanese folklore character like kappa or tengu or something like that *w* It would fit in Kyoto!! And Chikahito's so cute =w=~ Harrypotter-ish and innocent hee

TT~TT Chikahito makes me nostalgic for Watanuki~ xD It's nice to have a total spaz main character, again. As for the others, I think that they all have potential, so I'm not making any big judgements, yet. I do agree that it would've been nicer to have a more grabbing plot in the first chapter, since so far it seems pretty generic shounen (they kinda reminded me of Soul Reapers from Bleach, LOL) But the imagery was very grabbing, and since it's Clamp, I doubt they'll go in a generic direction with their plot or characters. In short, it wasn't jaw-dropping, but it has potential.
