 Twilight to dawn is the devils time. 

Speaking of time...  Like what is the time frame, when have things happened, does time flow at the same rate between all dimensions?  And also, with someone who can manipulate time, what does that mean?  Does it create like an alternate reality/multiverse situation?

Another banger.  You keep getting little bits that have you wanting to read the next installment immediately.  The intrigue continues to mount as you learn more.  There are basically two sets of found family and I love both of them for different reasons.

Probably minor but interesting, Asuka who formerly worked for Tanba (Caiman's boss in the sorcerer's world) has the ability to summon a monster named Angel who can make almost anyone her prisoner.  Fukuyama has the ability to make meat pies (similar to En's ability to make mushrooms?).  Caiman manages to get Nikaido alone but they fight and she confesses she's a sorcerer so Caiman puts her head in his mount and Risu says that she is not the one.  Chota is also aiding this situation, and before I forget Caiman has a flashback? about a sorcerer's tumor/demon being cut out/removed?  When he looks in a mirror he sees a Cross Eye head (NOT Risu, just blond hair? ) instead of his usual reptilian one.  While in the dark, Nikaido gets stabbed in the back by  someone and it dislodges her contract with En and Asu pulls it out, gives it to Chota and tells Nikaido that if she sees En it will regenerate unless 4 years pass until the next Blue Night, or Chidaruma nullifies it.  Asu helps them flee, and makes Chota look like Nikaido, because he owes her?  And later Nikaido tells Caiman her magic is too powerful, a friend of hers died because of it, and she never wants to use it again which is why she left to live in The Hole.  Regarding the knife that stabbed Nikado in the back, Caiman has it, but both Asu and Nikaido are sure that it couldn't have been him...  

I think this is the point up to season 1 of the anime finished.  We find out that Kasukage (64?) has a wife he hasn't seen in 25 years named Haru that is a sorcerer.  The boss of the Cross Eyes looks like the dude Caiman saw in the mirror maybe?  While trying to find Haru to send a message to Caiman/Nikaido they go to a house in Hydra Forest that has a lot of "specimens" and particularly a lot of brains, and it also infested with lots of Cross Eyes, one of which might be Haru because she is wearing the same bracelet but she might have lost her brain?  The Cross Eyes attack, Johnson helps, Noi and Shin show up, and I think the last bit of lore is that inside every sorcerer is a glad that generates their smoke.  If you hit that spot, no more magic?  Everyone may be in danger.
