The second volume of this series, and another solid outing. This time we focus more on the Noro clan, Aiko and her brother mainly. Mutsuko again plays second fiddle to Yuichi, and I think you could even argue the little sister of Yuichi, Yoriko, has more play in this volume.
I thought it was pretty well paced, and for the most part again self contained, a story that has a beginning and ending in one volume. There is a bit of a tease at the end of the volume though. Action is again a major focus, and listening to this one in text to speech I realized how well presented it is, very swift, vivid movement and conversations that make you feel like you're listening to an anime.
Relationship stuff is still moving pretty slowly, and it honestly still seems to be Aiko's title as love interest unchallenged despite throwing Natsuki Takeuchi into the mix. Natsuki really plays a minor role in this one, and some of the power levels get flipped to the point you see her as extremely weak, so hopefully she does something about this in upcoming volumes or she'll feel really tacked on compared to the other 3 main cast members.
Overall, pretty pleased with these volumes. Again, it feels like Devil is a Part Timer with the ever expanding cast, but overall good focused plot development. I do hope for more relationship stuff besides characters looking away or getting interrupted, but I'm guessing they'll string the reader along there. Mutsuko could use more play as well definitely for a series named after her. She's definitely the source of the biggest laughs.
