About the Mangaka
No info available on Ishida Akira, this seems to be his only work. He is not to be confused with the prolific VA of the same name.
About the Manga
Volume one was awesome, volume two is mind blowing.
The cover art for this volume is rather freaky in a way, but also freaking awesome. That said I wish the title had been smaller and moved out the way to show off the cover to it’s best.
The art for this series is growing on me, and I’m moving from ‘like’ to love. However I still find it hard not to find similarities between several other mangaka. Though as the volume progresses that happens less and less as I got drawn into the story.
Something that I didn’t notice before however does irk me a little, and that’s the lack of real scenery. Almost all of the panels are up close in the face sort of thing, with only a few scenery panels. That’s a bit disappointing since I felt we could have seen some great fights taking place in some great scenery, but it just looks sparse.
I like the character designs and the accompanying personalities, and the events that happen between the demon trio was really surprising and went really well. Though I have to admit the ending part of that was pretty generic.
As with the previous volume the real life saviour of this one is the story. All I can say is WOW what a story. I’m eager to see just how Nanami progresses, especially since she show signs of being a focal point for all her demon ancestors.
The sad part of the story though is that it follows the generic, girl inherits uber powers and everyone wants her. I would have liked to see a more unique take on the story, but its still a good story.
The progression this volume is pretty good as well, as we see Nanami grow some more and gain partial control over some of her powers.
We also get given some more tantalising hints about Nanami’s parentage, which I have to admit really did irritate me, since it was dropped as a big sledge hammer, then nothing else in the volume mentions it. I would have liked to have had some more information, though suppose Ishida does it to keep the interest.
I really like the story, but wish we had some better idea about who the different sides are, since so far we have very little to go on. Though in all honesty, I like a bit of mystery as well 
Once again Yen Press did a good job with this volume. A good smooth translation that flows really well. Good choice of fonts and excellent editing, and best of all no guttering.
The extras this volume consist of concept art of the demon trio, though part of me thinks we’d have been better off with out them.
After re-reading both volumes one and two I’m unlikely to add it to my Essential Read list. While I do like the series, it lacks something to make me say it’s Essential. It is however a series well worth getting if you want something to fill the time.
