Honestly, at this point, I'm wondering why I'm still reading this series...
The plot is moving at less than a snail's pace and nothing worth of note is being figured out. I am not kidding when I say that the same thing keeps being said every single chapter and no questions are being answered. It genuinely feels like the plot is being dragged out for the sake of being dragged out and it's incredibly annoying.

Finally hits me that this series is dragged on way so long

Is it bad that in the first chapter they revealed Sika Madu gave Mika and Yu three codes, one to revive Mika, another to hide them from Paradise, and a final one to destroy paradise, all I thought was “Oh shit each of those is going to be a slog of 10 volumes?”
Sika Madu dies very unceremoniously here and similarly to Asuramaru where the human just… absorbs them entirely and that makes them disappear? It makes more sense that Shinoa can do it than Mika. Then we get some betrayals as Ferid continues to do vampire vore and kills Krul. Then Mika and Yu try to make a deal with the vampires since they side with them more as they try to bring the vampires and humans both back to life. You’ll notice this reads very dry and uninspired. I had a lot of apathy while reading this volume. It’s just… Seraph of the End has gone on so long and it’s gotten so complicated and yet everything takes forever. Krul dies, Mika and Yu try to join the vampires. That takes an entire book. Shinoa gets god-like powers from Sika Madu since she got 70% of Sika Madu and Yu got the other 30% so now she can also give others a bunch of demons to power up? Which just makes no sense. Like they don’t absorb their emotions or wants. They just subserviently, namelessly, and faceless power-up Shinoa’s group. The writing choices here are definitely interesting with that and the killing of Krul. Hopefully the next volume is more interesting, though from looking ahead sparsely on Mangaplus I think it’ll just be equally disliked by me.
The author note keeps on saying it’s getting near the climax but it doesn’t feel like it. Sure, we have all seven sinful keys with four on Guren / Ferid’s side, two on Mika and Yu’s side, and one on Shinoa’s squad (at least I think that’s the divvying of them) but we don’t feel any closer to any side getting all seven and making the choice.

I was trying to convey to my husband how convoluted the plot is. I thought the easiest way for him to get the picture was for me to simply explain the evolution of a single character. It goes as such, main character starts as a human, gets turned into a vampire, "dies" in the only way vampires can which is to turn into a demon, and finally from demon to sword. --Because naturally you can trap a demon in some cursed gear and use your best friend as a sword. (This is not a criticism of the plot. I actually think it's very cute to use your dead best friend as sword). You might think that's a lot of transitions as is, but let's go back in time... to discover they actually didn't start as a human either. In fact they started their existence a few 200,000 millennia ago as an angel. BUT WAitT! This was actually a body swap story THE WHOLE TIME, so who you thought this character was from page one, you're wrong. And just kidding they didn't start out as an angel but as a giant, semi-sentient floating eyeball. tehe

...

I rest my case.

In all seriousness, I love this series. 10/10 bingeable. Very good at keeping me guessing because everything is so unhinged. Sometimes the character's morals seem ungrounded to me, but *shrug* what do I know. I don't have 1/200,000th the amount of trauma they do. Maybe I would be delusional too. But also... it's basically a soap opera. A post apocalyptic vampire stabby-stab soap opera. Because you can't pull a secret body-swap plot with all this melodrama and not be somewhere in the range of soap opera.

Unfortunately this description did not convince my husband to read the series.

Ch 136-140, read on SJ app

The best part of this volume is Krul on the cover. This series jumped the shark so long ago, and yet I'm still reading it because it's truly so crazy that that makes it fun in its own right. Like what crazy thing that makes zero sense is going to happen next?

Oh man, Ferid is nuts 😳😳😳

[Elyse · Rating 2 out of 5]

I feel it is time for this series to end, the story is dragging so much. It been do many volume that nothing much is happening.
The only characters I am still interested in are Yuu and Mika. I hate Guren & Mahiru, Shinoa is not better...

[Annie Pnat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let's go!!!!! Ughhh, so much is going on, and it's getting good again. Can't wait for the next.
