WELCOME to the penultimate volume of Demon Diary...in which this poor kid can't catch a break.

So things seem to be going well, shit happens, Chris is useful and poor Erutis is sidelined largely because let's face it she's too powerful and WHAM your previously dead father is like nah brah I'm just gonna kill you and take your place.

What do you do?

Well hopefully remember a lesson that will save everyone's life! And if not, just hope that your friends will save you.

Except Chris, who's two minutes of usefulness ends about how you'd expect.

I was rather surprised, Ranaef IV explained things fairly well and I felt for Eclipse's decision here. It's hard to know what's right when your choices are not WRONG either way by the standards you live by, but feel wrong by the standards you believe in. ( )

The spirit of Raenef IV has returned and charges Chris with the duty of battling the evil Raenef V in an attempt to reconcile to two halves of his personality. Unfortunately it soon becomes clear that the spirit of the former Raenef isn't as altruistic as he has let on and Eclipse must make a choice between his former master and the cuter, cuddlier current demon lord.

This is certainly a drama that just doesn't take itself too seriously. Just when things get too serious...we have a panel with floating kitties. I continue to enjoy both the plot line and the artwork. Although there isn't much to the backgrounds, it is the characters that I really enjoy (along with those floaty kitties). I continue to enjoy the relationship between Eclipse and Raenef. This manga left off in such a way that you really have to wonder just what will happen next. I'm looking forward to it! ( )
