Not to mention, Tanabe sensei's art style wouldn't appeal to the mass, as it might seems a tad too generic and odd at times.(I know. Most of the plot is so heavily focused on character development that the readers can't help but to yearn for some kicks n' kills. Maybe that's why it is underated because it doesn't follow the formula how popular mangaka do their work, making Kekkaishi a bit of a oddball.įirst of all, the readers have to face the fact it is slow, especially at the beginning. Still, Kekkaishi has always been in a special in my heart as it reminds true to what a good story is about, and yet it doesn't go to the route of shounen banality like most its similar demographics brothers tend to fall into after a certain period of time. There are still quite a work for Kekkaishi to be considered as a "masterpiece", and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Kekkaishi is good, but it is not the best I have read.
