Another great volume! I really do love that the creators make sure to show as many sides to this demons vs. humans conflict, this time through Ashye's perspective. I know it can seem forced, but it really is important (at least to me) to include as many different perspectives when dealing with a story like this. After all, the humans have been farmed and hunted for sport so that demons can survive and one group is considering genocide against demons, and you have some demons that have profited immensely off of human suffering, others that are just trying to survive, and others that for one reason or another don't want to harm humans. Making one side cartoonishly evil and the other side abrasively righteous is the easiest way to make me nope out of a series because it's simply not realistic.

I also enjoyed finally seeing what the first promise was and what each party had to offer in exchange. While I was against Ratri's proposal (seriously, you'd have to be some kind of twisted to agree with it) I did understand why he would act the way that he did. Not everyone have the emotional strength to keep fighting a possibly endless war, and desperation can drive people to act in ways that are against their character. Again, not saying that he's right, but it definitely makes sense in the context of the story.

That's all that I want to say for now. A shame I have to wait until October for volume 17, but it's well worth the wait.

Holy fuck! This is not going where I expected it to, but I’m here for it. I mean, the space-time bending maze? The whimsical trickster god? Wow. It had me kinda lost in there a bit, but I think I got it. I’m very curious to discover what the reward will be.

Ayshe is a fascinating character. Her backstory proves the complexities of the choices they’re making. I love her design and hope she’ll be around more. Also, poor poor Ray. My boy needs a hug.

Fave moment: Don and Gilda crying when they discover Ayshe is on their side, and her reaction to it.
