Devil's Candy, Vol. 3 by Bikkuri, Rem

Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ for the eGalley to review!
I must admit that I haven't read the first two volumes and just wanted to take a peek at what this series was all about, but that wasn't an issue and I ended up getting sucked into the world while reading it. This is a series that can be easy to pick up a volume partway through and then work your way backwards to get caught up on the lore before heading forward, which is perfect for new readers.
There are so many characters in this series and they're all so incredibly diverse in their designs and personalities that it's a creative aesthetic on every page. I love it. The art is just gorgeous (and I had thought it looked familiar and it was--I played River City Girls with my brother, a game in which Rem was the lead artist on!). This is a series I have no doubt will spawn countless inspired newbie artists as they develop their own styles (and worlds, because wow--what a world!!).
So this was a delightful read and I will 100% be getting it and the first two volumes while looking forward to the future installments. I'm also going to be putting in a recommendation to our acquisitions staff at our library because this is absolutely something that our teens will just eat up!
