A review by heyjudy
The Demon Prince of Momochi House, Vol. 6 by Aya Shouoto
4.0
~3.5/5
After that last cliffhanger, it's no surprise that Himari is bummed out, though Aoi is acting perfectly normal. Realizing why Aoi responded the way he did is only more sad than anything, though a bit annoying.
We meet a new character in this volume, a teacher, and he's got an interest in ghost stories. Particularly the Momochi house yokai stories, though Himari does her best to brush him off and mislead him. There are a few new yokai and cursed item chapters throughout, including a yokai who's like a mother to Aoi but dislikes Himari no matter how nice and helpful she is, but mostly they're making Himari reflect on what's happening, and what she needs to do to fix things.
Then there's that new cliffhanger, involved in the teacher, that is sure to be intriguing. I'm also interested in how it's hinted at Aoi being remembered by old classmates and friends, particularly that Himari wants Hayato and Aoi to meet again. I'm sure that's going to connect with her figuring out how to get him out of the Momochi house, so I'm looking forward to that progressing.
This is a fun series, more thoughtful and plot-moving than I expected. I still find Aoi adorable, and I am still reading.
