Mao is a very classic Rumiko's work - all the character design, humours and love relationship are very Rumiko. I didn't surprised that many people compared it to Inuyasha but I think Mao is more refined and mature version. But Inuyasha is our childhood favourite so It's not a fair comparison! Admit it, Inuyasha is not that perfect but we still love it! Character: 8 Mao is the more gentle and handsome male main character among Rumiko's universe. And it's reasonable that he doesn't have much emotions, he is over 900 years old so nothing can surprise him! and he definitely has chemical with Nanoka,a cheerful and cute girl.

Story: 8
The story starts in a quite old-fashioned way but the development is amazing! Just don't drop it!

Art: 7
It's classic Rumiko style and everything in Taisho period is so classy.

Enjoyment: 8

As long as Rumiko is still creating her masterpiece, I will always give a 10!!
