Wow, there's not enough brain bleach that can get those images out of my head. Holy fuck, that was so fucking disturbing, yet cathartic. Just, wow though...

On a different note, the only issue I had with this volume was Norman's change of heart. I'm not saying it's unrealistic, since it seems like he's been secretly struggling with himself, but it seemed a little rushed. Again, not that I don't buy it, but it felt like that's what had to happen in order to have a "happy ending" to the story.

I don't really have much else to say. I really loved the Queen's death and felt it was the most cathartic death of the series, as well as the most gruesome and terrifying. I'm scared to see what's gonna happen to my babies after that cliffhanger, but I love how everyone's prepped for battle! Also, quick side note, I LOVE the cover for this volume. I feel like it perfectly portrays Emma's, Norman's, and Ray's characters and their actions throughout the series. Only two volumes left in the series, can't wait to see where it goes!

Ahora que se murieron todos los demonios aburridos me van a dejar de romper las pelotas con subtramas que no me importan o me van a inventar más demonios el doble de aburridos???????

The action that happened in this book was mind blowing. The art in this specific book was beautiful and most have taken Kaiu Shirai ages to draw. The amount of heads that was drawn in on of the panels was mind blowing and the amount of satisfaction that I had when the Queen died was enormous. She actually died from overeating which was kind of hilarious.

I knew the queen would be back as soon as our cast did not leave the throne room to look at the rest of the city. 
I also liked the philosophical discussion about hunger and identity even if it felt like a weaker second death.

And here we go!! I’m not sure I understood everything about the queen’s death, but it was sure dope and grotesque. Musica is also amazing, as always. We’re getting to the end, and the final boss is already on sight. I imagine Peter Ratri will be a formidable enemy. I also loved all the insight we got into Norman in this volume and the trio’s relationship.

Fave moment: The “you’re not alone” moment with the trio.
