Me flipa la estética y conecto con el sentido del humor. Replica tópicos del manga que son una mierda pero sabiendo burlarse de ellos.

Honestly, it’s super refreshing. A lot of manga and anime based around high schoolers (or younger, even) will shove fan service at you left and right. But! Not this. It was super fun to read, and I’m very excited for what’s to come with the series. Love Kazu!! My only negative is that this book reads right to left instead of left to right, which is super frustrating in a manga title.

I backed this in a kickstarter site unseen on the recommendation from a friend and the strength of the art.

And holy cow what fantastic art it is! The denizens of Devil's Candy all have imaginative designs and it's fun to search through backgrounds to find new and interesting characters.

The story follows familiar manga territory of kids in school fighting and striving to overcome challenges, but with the twist that it's a sort of demon/goth/halloween/monster school. The setting is right up my alley and the stories work incredibly well with the setting.

Can't wait to read the next volume!

I pretty much love everything about this. The character designs are fun and cute as heck. I'm always excited to meet a new demon in the story. The environments and artstyle are stunning. The themes and world building are fun as heck. The characters are loveable, I want to see how they develop and what they do. Only thing I have against the book is a weaker plot in the second chapter. I feel like this is the kind of story and world that doesn't always need combat in every chapter, but it seems to be leaning that way, but I enjoy it anyways.
