Talk about one heck of a climactic volume! The jokes are kept to a bare minimum in this volume as we see the past and the future collide and war for their existence.

The sheer level of action in this volume wasn't one I was expecting. Demon Diary has always sort of been a bit more low-key; large, drawn-out fights aren't an earmark of the series. But for what it's worth, I'm glad the series shook up its own formula for the sake of this volume. The serious tone and the continued fight sequences added a layer of tension and a sense of urgency that was refreshing and appropriate for the climax of the story. It was worth reading, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. Here's to finishing this volume and moving on to the last one to wrap up the entire series at last~.
