Reads R to L (Japanese Style).
The past returns to haunt Kyo and Misao when Kyo’ s long-lost father suddenly reappears. But the reunion is less than happy, for Lord Yo is suspected of murdering his wife!

'Misao is the bride of prophecy whose blood gives power to the demon who claims her. But most demons want to keep her power for themselves - by eating her! Now Misao is just trying to stay alive...'
In this volume, we learn more about Kyo's father and about his brother, Sho.
I was close to giving this volume only three stars because I hated how Kyo treated Misao. I've said before how much I dislike how he 'punishes' her, and he does it yet again in this volume. Why is he so jealous and rough with...more

I am so happy to report that Black Bird, Volume 10 returns to the root of this series, delivering an interesting story with depth. The feel of this volume is reminiscent of the earliest volumes that had character development and suspense to keep you mesmerized with the story. This is a vast improvement upon the last several volumes.
What makes this volume so interesting is the history of the two brothers, Sho and Kyo, and their parents. When Lord Yoh pops in for a surprise visit,...more

Black Bird volume 10 by Kanoko Sakurakouji

I’ve finished the Black Bird books that I bought… and I need more so, so bad. That ending was fricking amazing. Sakurakouji is an amazing storyteller. The world she creates is beautiful. Being a gifted artist is amazing, but also being blessed with the amazing gift of storytelling makes her a double-threat (I’m sure she’s a triple-threat, but I don’t know much about her). I love the tengus. They will forever hold a special place in my heart as one

One thing is for sure, I need to pick a manga series and stick with it to the end before starting another. I’m reading three series at the same time and it’s times like this when I read three different volumes in a row from three different series that I start getting things mixed up. Either way, we’re back to Black Bird. The last time I read this series I was worried about its continuation because I was unsure about where it was going.

I liked this one better than the last one. Although I'm kind of sick of the Sho plot line. And to be honest I don't get Misao's feelings towards him. She's scared of him and yet she is concerned for his welfare too.
He tried to rape her not once, but twice in this series. And sure he saved her life, but I don't think it makes up for the abductions and near rapes especially when he put her in the dangerous position to begin with.
It's hard for me to relate to Misao or even really like her. She ha...more

Wow this series is getting tense again! Basically they are looking at an all out war - and it will probably end up being a bit of a civil war with the reemergence of Sho, Kyo's brother.
There were a couple of plot inconsistencies in this volume but who cares. The drama is crazy and the characters are getting so much more elaboration which is great.
One annoyance was Kyo. He flat out says sometimes he wants to treat Misao nice and make her smile, and other times he wants to be mean to her and mak...more

Trouble brewing back at home! Family relationships sure are complicated among the Tengu. But the history of Kyo's mother and father was interesting and helps explain how he turned out as an adult. However, his jealous streak was a bit disturbing in this volume. Though I excuse it a bit with Sho reappearing, but he seems to labor under the mistaken belief that Misao is in-love with Sho. I am not sure I like where this is headed. On a side note, I really like the way the Tengu deal with orphans, t...more

At this point, the plot is dragging again...I thought, from the previous volumes, that Kyo would become extremely powerful by taking Misao as his bride. As in, more powerful than anyone else? However, everyone still acts like his brother, Sho, is more powerful, and even other clans are still more powerful...so what was the point in chasing after Misao again? Other than true love...nothing about Kyo's being or powers have changed.

This is one of my favourite supernatural shōjo mangas!
Misao sees somethings that other people can't, and if they could, they would be scared to death! Normally, the monsters would do small harmless things, such as pull her hair or jump on her bac. But on her sixteenth birthday, the creatures take it farther by trying to kill her, as her blood gave improve their lives.
However, luckily she's saved by a lost childhood friend who has returned. His name is Kyo Usui, but he has a dark secret too. He...more

Some interesting back-story about Kyo's family in this volume, but the relationship between Misao and Kyo continues to be a little odd. I thought that after they consummated their relationship we would see some interesting developments, but their relationship seems to be taking a strange turn (that could involve Kyo's creepy older brother...
The story was nice, but I feel as though we are always building to something that plays out to not be as climatic as I would have hoped. That is coupled with me not exactly enjoying the constant politcal intrigue and scheme unraveling. If this continues, I might not make it to the end of this series.
Once again a fantastic installment from Kanoko Sakurakoji! I really like it that the story has taken a turn and it's not as repetative as it was. I do hope that Sakurakoji-chan will not drag the series out though because then it will be far too repetative! I can't wait for volume 11!
I'm actually getting bored with Black Bird, nothing seems to be happening really. I'm still going to continue reading it because I like most of the characters, but I just wish something will happen soon. But I gave three stars because of Kyo's dad and the story of how Kyo's mom died.
The black bird series started off really good. I loved the idea, and the moments in it. However, as it gone on, now i realize sometimes i only read it for the funny gags.
Yet as i read vol 10 today, i'm interested in how things are going to turn out again. Hope things go well!

I'm not able to pick up on the cliffhanger because I forgot who Roh is... That's a good thing though because I won't be able to read the next volume in a while.
One of the best volume I've read for this manga. I wonder why there's no anime version for this manga..
4.5 stars but i'm rounding up. story proceeding nicely, excellent tragic part about kyo's father.
And the plot thickens...a little...this one was at least better and way funnier than the last one.
Love it most definitely.
not so good

This is one of the first manga that feels like it could have been a PNR novel. I should read more of those manga, but I seldomly do because they tend to get too annoying too fast. In any case, so far I still enjoy reading this one despite its flaws, so. :)
The story line is continuing to get more intense and suspenseful. I really hope Kanoko Sakurakoji keeps up the pace like this. Though I have to admit...I'm getting a little sick of Sho.
an interesting series that is exciting enough to entertai me and sappy enough to feed my lesser romantic side.
the twists are coming fast now. unexpected events,, love, hate, murder and suicide...this series is very good
Vol 10 was a bit slow and nothing really happened in this one either except too much history.
