It's the end of the world as we knew it
As always be aware this series is excessively violent at times and do not cringe when it comes to not only nudity but combines the two subjects together at times such as being gored between the legs. If this does not offend you are even intrigued then this is the final book in the series (like the original Devilman series I hear) and like other remakes in the past you never know who may die in the end as war goes apocalyptic.
With the Demon Senate choosing to no longer hold back against the outnumbering masses that the humans represent they unleash the power of their forces upon the unexpected populace with grisly effect. With seemingly normal humans suddenly transforming into monstrous creatures and attacking soon anarchy is to follow as fear and anger wear down the thin blanket that social structure offers us from day to day. Even Amon who has been struggling with his own darkness is not immune to the darkness that swells within the breast of demons as he discovers to late for some when the power of the senate takes over.
Even with the Devilmen struggling to protect humanity it seems to be hopeless as demons strike during the day and humanity becomes its own worse enemy as night approaches. However there is a plan to fight back and the mastermind is about to reveal some hidden truths as world changes for everyone in this interesting remake of the original series.
The depictions of humanity succumbing to their personal darkness is a harsh reminder that although humans have the potential for love and kindness we are also capable of much darker emotions that can fester when the law is no longer applicable . If you have stuck it out this long don't forget to check out the afterward from the artist at the end of the book to get an insight into the inspiration of why this story differs from other Devilman stories. :)

Este último volumen me sorprendió y a la vez me entristeció un poco. ¿Por qué? Porque cuando este autor se olvida del fanservice bordeando el hentai y se concentra en contar una historia, la trama fluye mucho mejor, con verdaderas emociones, y algunos giros interesantes. Si toda la historia hubiera tenido este estilo y este foco, incluso manteniendo la brutalidad, podríamos haber tenido un manga de buena calidad que uno pudiera recomendar.
Lamentablemente teniendo en cuenta toda la obra, no recomendaría este manga a nadie, porque aunque por momentos es entretenido, no suma absolutamente nada nuevo.

My "Devilman Grimorie" review
Well now, It's official because on April 17th 2023 (3 months ago), I have like started and finished each and every volume of Devilman Grimoire and I really enjoyed the story by Go Nagai himself and the art by Rui Takato, It's a new Devilman story but it has some references from the original Devilman manga itself and from a few of the other mangas along with their anime addaptions as well as for they are the many retellings for the tale of Devilman.
I love the idea of Miki becoming a Devilman herself and fighting alongside Akira and sure there are some new characters, But there are familiar faces like Miki's family and even demons like Sirene, Jinmen, etc. - Like the original, It has it’s share of death, Tons of bloodshed, Gore, and even some nudity in the mix.
But what truly stands out for me is Akira and Miki's relationship the most of all because having been good friends ever since childhood and of course, He lives with Miki and her family as his parents died in an accident and even after the whole demon summoning ritual with Amon making an appearance and having taken over Akira's body, Yet he still retains his pure heart to gain the upper hand and to have turned him from sweet and innocent from the beginning to somewhat of a bad boy, Your parents would never approve of.
But for these two reasons here for why that what makes something truly stands out for me to Akira and Miki's relationship the most of all.
For one, The relationship between both Akira and Miki evolves from friendship to love as in Volume 4 - Chapter 13 like as they shared their first confession of love.
Within their first kiss and Akira making a promise that he will protect Miki no matter what happens to him in Volume 4 - Chapter 17, I felt it sounded really romantic and it really makes me wanna like say and shout out loud saying - "OOO yes there he goes!!!, Oh my god yes!!!, That’s my boy!!!, Akira!!!, You done it bro!!!, You did it!!!, You got it bro!!!, I’m really so very proud of you!!!"
And I'm truly grateful that they didn't get killed off and the story had ended like in the original manga volume series from the 1970’s and the reboot of the Netflix anime series of "Devilman Crybaby".
Plus as two for why that what makes something truly stands out for me to Akira and Miki's relationship the most of all is that it was like also satisfying that Akira and Miki both made love for the first time into the middle as the ending of Chapter 13 and I feel like the whole series would have a possible anime adaptation itself and I imagine
Griffin Burns and Cristina Vee voicing Akira and Miki and for those guys that I gotta say that they did great in Devilman Crybaby before and I felt it'd be amazing that they'd voice them again. I wonder if Tara Sands would provide the voice of Tare (Miki's little brother) and for Miko and maybe Cherami Leigh and Joe the Fist - Bryce Papenbrook and I also imagine Todd Haberkorn as Alphonse sensei
And I don't know if they would, But hey, If one can dream, Then maybe you can as well too.
So anyways into this conclusion that I gotta say right now that it's a wonderful Devilman manga series worth reading and it also has it’s share of funny moments and a couple of naughty scenes.
So anyways I’m gonna give Devilman - Grimoire (The Completed Volume Manga Series) a 10/10 as into a gigantic 100% - 10 out of 10 yes and I’d so recommended it to anyone who's a fan of Devilman.

Este ultimo tomo se dedica a tirar abajo varios personajes y conceptos interesantes que el manga construía en un final cursi que no le llega ni a los talones al original. Mas no negare el gran trabajo en la acción, la tensión y una historia que si bien se alejaba de ciertos dilemas filosóficos de la obra original, era bastante entretenida. Mas allá de que este sea el peor tomo de todos, el resto ha hecho un trabajo relativamente bueno en el campo del entretenimiento. No lo recomiendo, lo disfrute bastante, me gusto, es bastante entretenido.

Qué desastre, otra obra gonagaiesca que leí entera, me resultó muy entretenida a nivel de la bolacera historia, me encantó en su dibujo, y sin embargo no le dejé ni una reseña, y eso que me la leí entera al ritmo de salida local.
Otra animalada a la que le re pegaría una relectura en un día aburrido en el que no tenga otras cosas pendientes, o sea que probablemente duerma el sueño de los justos unos cuantos años más.
