Haruka is a young girl who is able to predict the future with incredible accuracy--an ability that has made her a target. When she is kidnapped, Haruka uses her power to seek out someone who can help her, fixing upon a blind man amid the crowded streets of Tokyo. Though a seemingly odd choice, Haruka's powers have not led her wrong, as her chosen protector draws a sword from his walking stick and deftly takes out her captors. Knowing she will always be pursued for her gift, Haruka begs the mysterious swordsman to keep her safe... "until death do us part."Declare Books In Favor Of Until Death Do Us Part Omnibus (2-in-1 Edition), Vol. 1: Includes Vol. 1 & 2 (Until Death Do Us Part #1)

Got 250+ pages into this and it was good, but apparently there's a romance that seriously develops between Haruka and Mamoru and that age gap makes me more than a tad uncomfortable. I dunno. I'm a bit oversensitive to that so I'm cutting my losses now; there are too many other books to conquer on my TBR that aren't problematic for me to push through another slightly uncomfortable 250 pages.Was unsure of this series going in but it grew on me.

Une très bonne entrée en matière ! Le dessin est plus qu'agréable, Mamoru a méchamment la classe et la gamine est mignonne, quand au scénario ce n'est qu'une mise en bouche mais il semble avoir du potentiel. Bref une série prometteuse !
this took me like half an hour to finish. XD wouldn't have read it if a friend hadn't bequeathed it to me, but it was entertaining enough for your stereotypical super-action manga. "he's a blind modern-day assassin who can cut flying bullets in half with his sword. she's an orphaned middle-school girl with ESP powers. they fight crime!"
A very nice art style makes up for the blandness of the story -- blind vigilante, techie friend who made him bionic glasses, psychic girl, international anti-terrorism outfit, industrial espionage, etc. etc. None of the characters stand out except in looks -- the techie guy looks like he should be pounding back 40s and smoking Newports, the vigilante is appropriately badass, etc. --and the action sequences run together so much that it's often hard to remember what happened when to whom.Pick up
This collection contains volumes 1 and 2 of Until Death Do Us Part (as originally published). I really enjoyed this "blind swordsman" variation. It doesn't have a lot of original elements - the blind swordsman, the young girl with mysterious powers everyone's after, the use of technology to overcome a handicap, etc. have all been seen before. The combination here though is done well and has just enough twists on the cliched building blocks to freshen things up. The backstory of Mamoru's (also
Amazon suggested this one to me and for once their algorithm actually found one that sounded interesting. Haruka is a young girl who can more or less predict the future (they do give a quantum physics explanation to it rather than leave it as 'psychic.) She's been kidnapped by a group of thugs along with her family in order to use her. As they are transporting her somewhere, Haruka sees a young man walking on the street and combat rolls out of the car. She begs him to help her until the titular
