The thing about KHR is that I feel the storytelling is a lot less polished than stuff like Bleach and Naruto, where the author is, yeah, kind of making it up as they go along, yet somehow, even if both series eventually got too tl;dr for me, at least they managed to make it have a consistent feel. Whereas with KHR it feels like a patchwork of tropes and the author throwing things to the wall to see what'll stick.

Hmm... Of the stuff I've been reading recently, a lot of it hasn't been translated into English. I would recommend Onmyouji; it definitely is interesting, even if it makes me feel compelled to do research. Heh, and there is always Ravages of Time. XD
