I'm so mixed about this volume. I do genuinely like Asa and Denji's interactions, and I'm curious how that relationship (not as in shipping, as in two people who interact) will develop over arc two. But the rest...it's right back to stereotypical Shonen tropes. Also, Denji's current goal is so stupid, and it makes me actually aggravated every time it's brought up. Asa having to run around in her underwear also pissed me off. Like, come the hell on, was it necessary for the TEENAGE GIRL to be running about in her damn drawers?! This series has an annoying problem was sexualizing the bejesus out of the teenage characters, and it's been grating. I excused it at first since it was originally from Denji's viewpoint, and he is a "dumb horny teenager". But now that it's not, it's so goddamn irritating.

Also, was the Famine devil meant to look like Makima? I saw her eyes and hair and thought it was Makima reincarnated or that Makima wasn't actually dead. But, no, it's the Famine devil. So now I'm not sure if her design was a purposeful jumpscare or just a sloppy character design. Also seeing as Asa is contracted with the War devil, I assume we're going to see all of the Four Horsemen as devils. Which I'm unsure how to feel about. The only thing I find interesting is so far two of the horsemen are depicted as women and not men. Unless that's only because War took Asa's image, so she only looks female because Asa is. I have no idea.

The "twist" was pretty sad, but again, so god damn cliche. Oh, and I forget to mention it in my review of the previous volume, but. The little fourth wall breaks are really annoying and need to stop. Doing the "it's not like we're in a manga!" or "It's like we're manga characters!" thing is cutely cheeky once or twice, but multiple times in a single volume? Stop. Once was enough.

Ha, habe ich diesen Band genossen? Ja!
Ich bin immer zwiegespalten ... erst geht mir der ganze Manga auf die Nerven und dann bin ich hin und weg. :’D

Liebe für Denji’s echt beschissene Persönlichkeit :’D

I like asa but this arc feels a lot more silly than part 1 so far, I know build up is necessary but still! Also this mini makima needs to perish

4 stars.

It's been a year and I've really missed this series. I forgot how much I enjoyed Asa and seeing her storyline progress. I love Denji as always, and am looking forward to seeing those two interact more. Leave it to Tatsuki Fujimoto to write a volume where so much fucked up shit happens in such a short time frame and you go from laughing to feeling heartbroken to laughing again.

Excited to continue this series and get caught up.
