 More than just a story. January 23, 2008
I first picked this book up in a libary. I read the 1st, 3rd and 4th books first. I never read out of volume order. At all. I had the libary order the 2nd book for me to read the next day, I tried with the 5th and 6th but they didn't have it there. After reading the 2nd volume, I bought the 5th and 6th books. I later went on to puchase the rest of the series.
The art is different, the eyes of the character tend to look like a combination of classic girl manga and realistic human. The plot is simple, like another reviewer stated, good girl and a group of hot guys. However, what makes it different is the enviroments, the details, and the themes of the story.
The main charater Mahiru, happens to be your typical japanese high school girl with terrible bad luck, but when other people touch her she herself acts like a good luck charm. Turns out she's the decendent of a princess who fell in love with a demon. Things in the story get werid when she has her first encounter with a demon (Mitsuru) and after touching Mahiru, he half-transforms into a Tengu.
This story has a lot of layers to it. Historical references and monsters, a romance that transends the ages, a romance Mahiru comes to have, a war between humans and demons, and two comical detectives. Not to mention the artwork is breath taking, and covers almost all the page at times.
Overall, the story, artwork, and characters are beautiful. The book has its confusing part (just go back and re-read them and you'll get it), and the author could have gone further with certain parts in the story. But this is a story you have to read between the pictures with, it gets deep, trust me. So go out, read it at your local libary if your not sure this review has swayed your opinion of this great manga, sorry. If it did, I hope you enjoy your own volumes of Crecent Moon as much as I do.

Well...here I am, writing negative reviews about the books I hate...what fun, eh? I figure that people like me will enjoy being saved from books I hate...or something like that! Anyways, sorry to the people who liked this book! This book really didn't keep me focused on it. I kept on getting distracted. I also didn't like the main character. In real life, I would probably kick her. Because...um, BEcause...uh...ANYWAY, the story is also kind of garbled. Maybe the plot thickens in the next one...? I don't know. I don't happen to care, either.It's also not very entertaining. No jokes. No stupid stuff. Just all of this nightcreature-hoopla. Oh yeah...HOOPLA!HOOPLA!HOOOOOOPLA! Okay...I'm done. I gave this book a two instead of a one because the story, at least, has SOMETHING going for it. It may be very small, but it's there. I think...But I'm not gonna waste MY money on it!
AMAZING! June 14, 2006

This series is spectacular, not only is the artwork amazing, but the storyline and characters are gripping too! And as to the allegations of this being about a girl being groped by her schoolmates, there is absoloutely no sexual content in there AT ALL. Guys don't be put off, there's plenty of humour and action, I'm not a fan of really girly books either but I looooved this. This series really stands apart from the others, it's worth buying even just for the artwork alone. Even if you just buy a cheap used copy to give it a go, this is a definate must. I guarantee you'll be hooked!
Wonderful, if you care to read into it May 2, 2006

This is an absolutely wonderful manga. It may be a bit confusing at times (all the characters tend to look alike) but if you read into it and dont just scan through the pictures it really has a great story line
Plus, theres a vampire xP

When I first started reading Crescent Moon, I was hooked. I loved the art, especially of Mahiru in her underwater world. It's so beautiful. And in response to another reviewer. I didn't realise that it was even supposed to be a Shoujo or Bishounen manga. Maybe if you'd finished the book before reviewing it, you would also have noticed that there is more to the plot than "a young girl being groped by all her schoolmates".
All in all it's worth buying.
