Every single interaction, character and situation is troubling. This series could be a college course on how abuse and misogyny is romanticized. I'm going to finish this series because I'm actually in horrified awe of it all.

I absolutely adore Black Bird! The art, simply delicious. I definitely recommend it to anyone out there over 16. A wonderful shojo that screams yummy male characters through out.

Is anyone else just ready for them to have sex and get it over with? Nope, just me? Well the “they can’t have sex because we don’t know what will happen” is getting on my nerves. There’s only so far you can stretch a will they or won’t they situation.
Character-wise Misao is still hella gullible and a bit predictable. Even though I complained about them not doing the deed, I do love every single interaction between Misao and Kyo!
I hope that the conflict with his brother gets resolved in the next volume!

Volume 5 of Black Bird has our adorable couple heading to Kyo's hometown to meet the clans patriarch and to introduce Misao to her future family. But of course this can't be a happy event...turns out the patriarch of the clan doesn't plan on letting them leave until he is sure that Kyo and Misao have consummated their relationship. Talk about pressure, and creepy pressure at that.
Not to make things worse or anything, but of course Sojo is being held prisoner in the clan's village and there are still some there that are loyal to him. And they will do anything to restore him to what they think his rightful place is.
This manga is continuing to be pretty intense and dramatic, but is sprinkled quite liberally with sweet moments for our hero and heroine.
Now time for the next volume so I can learn what happens at the end of this cliffhanger!

The real question is, why am I still reading this manga? It is horrible. So what makes me keep reading it? Seriously, 5 volumes in and I'm still waiting for a decent plot to arise.

Is there something magical about demon sperm that makes birth control not work? SERIOUSLY? If demon-love-interest needs to sleep with the main character to get his powers, but pregnancy would be a problem... C-O-N-D-O-M-S. B-I-R-T-H-C-O-N-T-R-O-L. HONESTLY, you're in MODERN-DAY JAPAN. These things EXIST and would solve ALL OF YOUR CONFLICTS.If you're going to have a stupid conflict that places a ridiculous value on the (female) main character's virginity
