If you're looking at the art and thinking "2 young guys...probably one of those boy on boy action manga...feh" you'd be wrong. I don't think it is at all. Not implied and not canon. Normally you CAN judge manga by their cover, but this one you couldn't.

With great artwork and well defined characters, Black Sun Silver Moon is one of my favorite mangas within the past week of purchase.I bought volume 1 and loved it then bought the other 2 released. This is good for people who like supernatural things, especially demons. And a cute puppy here and there.

I recommend this to all my friends and any manga fan alike.
Good artwork, pacing, characters, and story. Not somthing you could ULTRA SUPER REALLY get into, but more then most things out there.

I don't know why I buy non-shojo manga; it never makes me happy but I keep buying it. The characters in this story are mildly engaging - Taki is loud and rowdy, and the priest is quiet and mysterious - but the story just didn't seem interesting enough to buy the next volume. Of course, I had ordered the second volume at the same time as the first, so I read it to see if it got any better - and it didn't, really. There are only a few references to zombie-killing in this one (it is rather trivially dealt with) and the focus seems to be more on the home relationship between Taki and the priest (whose name I cannot at the moment remember - Shikimi?). Much of the book is spent showing Shikimi reading a book while Taki cleans and grumbles to himself - this is excessively done, I think.

So, I won't be buying more volumes, and this probably isn't even a library read for me. It's just not entertaining enough.
