Devils' Line #4

by Ryo Hanada, Yuko Keller (Translator)

Als Tsukasa den schwer verletzten Augenzeugen Oryo ins Krankenhaus begleitet, wird sie von 07 entführt. Doch statt in Panik zu verfallen, nutzt sie die Chance, um dem Hass auf den Grund zu gehen, den die Scharfschützin gegen die Vampire hegt. Eigentlich scheint sie nämlich gar keine schlechte Person zu sein. Unterschätzt Tsukasa die Gefahr? Denn wenn nicht alle Bösen wirklich böse sind, gilt das dann auch für die Guten? Wem kann man überhaupt noch vertrauen?

I much preferred this volume to the last! I’m so pleased that I wasn’t abit on edge worrying that there would be a graphic SA scene this time! I’m glad there hasn’t been otherwise it might have impacted my enjoyment of the series overall and I most probably wouldn’t have continued with it.

Anzai is learning to control his devil/vampire side, to control his bloodthirsty nature. This is a positive thing because it means his relationship with Tsukasa can continue to develop.

Devil’s Line really does remind of Chainsaw Man with the devil hunting, just revolves more around a budding relationship and is less trippy.
It’s still packed with gory moments and action packed scenes though, I have a feeling this series will take a darker, horror-based turn with more sinister devils for the hunters to fight.

Decided not to continue on with this series - as I heard from people it doesn’t really get much better or end well ! 😅 ah well lol taking my review rating down from a 4 to a 3 after much deliberation aswell !

El manga se está desarollando bien para mi gusto. Creo que lo que más me va gustando es que no se centra en la relación de amor de Taira y Anzai sino como algo en segundo plano. Por otro lado, los personajes secundarios que están apareciendo también están bastante bien, sobretodo los antagonistas. Si tengo que poner alguna pega ahora mismo es que le falta profundidad a la historia como a los personajes pero no es tan grave.

The characters really start to develop in this volume and I can feel the series beginning to lead up to something much bigger😁 I need the next volume already😂

[Victoria ✮⋆˙ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really needed to continue this series after i saw the anime omg it’s so much more awesome!

[V.ya · Rating 5 out of 5]

After a lot of hesitation, Anzai finally made the move!


"Will you go out with me?"
"Yes. I will."
"Okay then. Think well of me."
"Me too."

Japanese people are so polite. Is this really how they start dating? And they shook hands, too... wow.

We also got to know more about the terrorist group. Plus, a new group is introduced to the scene. I'm really curious how this pans out.

[Jessica ❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well that all happened. 👀
This volume was crazy, yet also adorable.
Anzai’s protectiveness with Tsukasa could defrost even the most frozen of hearts. I love them so much. 🥰

Se cierra un arco y justo da pie a otro... pero guau, menuda manera de cerrar el arco. Hubo una escena que me puso la carne de gallina pero literal, y por fin hay progresos en la pareja. Esta apuntando a ser uno de mis mangas favoritos, espero que siga llevando este ritmo tan interesante en los siguientes tomos (o lo mejore, cosa que tiene pinta de que va a suceder).

[Cornerofmadness · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot happens in this volume. Without spoiling it (since all these things are in the blurb), Tsukasa and Anzai's relationship moves forward after she's been taken hostage by Zero Seven, the lady sniper. We see a more human side of the Zeroes (well some of them) and the more calloused side of them as well. Their reach is bigger than any of them know and the police are infiltrated.

There also is an old doctor who's tried to help Anzai and Hans in the past, who is trying to help them still, though Hans is much better at controlling his devil. There are some funny moments with the doc and we learn Hans is on the run from ONLO, a group that deals with (and perhaps experiments on) devils.

There is a bombshell at the end. I'm looking forward to the next volume. The art still isn't my favorite but it fits this story which is maturing nicely.

[MargReadsManga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great volume for this series! I’m so happy that Anzai and Tsukasa finally were able to communicate their thoughts and motivations with each other. SO GOOD! I’m am very thankful for the short story with all the “terrorists” at the end. I’ve finally got their code names, real names and faces all connected! 😅 My interests are very piqued like what’s his name on page 201. I’m curious to see how this gets played out!

I read this for the Manga Freak-a-thon ‘22!!

The art isn't the prettiest in this but it fits the gritty vampire story which has a really intricate plot so far.

[BeckyisBookish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok but now you need to sprinkle in some spice...

5 terrorist organizations out of 5 vampire sympathizers

[Cassandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had a hard time keeping track of all the characters in this volume. It continues to be fast paced but not overwhelming and very interesting. I like Lee from a I want to know more. And I felt really empathetic towards the female sniper. They took advantage of her horrific childhood. I’m glad she has the computer guy.

[Whitney Fisher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here we go! We’re rolling now! Plot development took a minute.

[Kayla Brunson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Don't mind me, just still enjoying this series. Every time I finish a volume of this series, I automatically want the one!

[Margherita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was… was Makimura flirting with Nine?? 👀

[Momo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was going to drop this series but this volume kind of made me want to keep the series and keep reading haha!

El seinen de género vampiros/demonios que más me gusta actualmente.

En este tomo conocemos a más miembros de la organización antidemonios que lidera Kikuhara y como muchos de ellos pertenece al quinto departamento. Es decir, que hay miembros que han salido de la policía y, por tanto, las cosas para Anzai y los suyos es más complicada.

Por otra parte, Anzai decide enfrentarse a sus miedos y habla con Tsukasa de eso después de que la francotiradora la tomara como Rehén y cero siete se rencontrara con cero nueve.

En el tomo, además, viene una historia extra de los "malos" antes de que sucediera el incidente en el parque del tomo 3 y vemos a sus miembros comportarse como personas normales y las malas intenciones que Kikuhara tenía desde el principio.

De nuevo se plantean cuestiones morales en este tomo y la idea que flota en todo Devils line: ¿quiénes son los verdaderos demonios??

[Morgane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This manga is getting better and better. I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I'm completely in it. I'm very very excited to read tome 5; but....I gotta wait until it's out in french, in july. I'm sad.

[B. Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another nice installment, and more progress on the main relationship in the series. There's a lot of new things being dropped in. It's almost too much. A lot of new characters that I wish had been set up earlier in the story.

Delivering time after time is honestly impressive! The complexity of the story and the romance is such a fantastic blend. Definitely invested for more volumes soon…

Katagiri-san es herido por el hombre que participó en la matanza de vampiros. Han intentado curarlo pero la gravedad de sus heridas pone en riesgo su vida así que deciden llevarlo al hospital.

Tsukasa está entre los que lo acompañan.

Sólo por pura coincidencia en el mismo hospital se encuentra la francotiradora y cuando esta ve a Tsukasa decide escaparse, tomarla de rehén y llevarse la camioneta. Sinceramente no creí que fuera a lastimarla, este personaje creo yo que sólo ha visto una parte de todo y justo esa parte fue una mala experiencia. No conoce un vampiro bueno o le hicieron creer que ninguno lo era. Por lo que cuando Tsukasa-san le cuenta que está enamorada de uno queda sorprendida -sobretodo cuando se entera de que es el mismo que ella intentó matar-.

En el medio de todo se cruzan con el colega de cero-siete y se alojan en un hotel para planear sus próximos movimientos. Tsukasa-san comenzará a ver que hay una gran red detrás de todos los incidentes. Y lo más grave, es que hay espías dentro del departamento policial.

Cuando a ella la "liberan" justo la encuentra el espía del que le habían hablado. Así que intenta eludirlo y llama a Anzai-san para que la ayude. Anzai-san desesperado sale en busca de ella junto a Hans Lee.

Por suerte llega justo a tiempo......

Anzai-san no está todavía seguro de poder controlar su demonio interno y por eso le pide ayuda a Lee-san. Después de haber escuchado el consejo del médico se plantea muchas cosas y entre ellas, contarle a Tsukasa-san porqué decidió alejarse de ella. Esa escena fue muy tierna *.*

Ellos intentan darse una posibilidad juntos a pesar de que no será fácil. Me gusta que Tsukasa-san confíe plenamente en él. Realmente espero que ellos puedan tener un final feliz.

A seguir leyendo.

Eu gostei MUITO dessa capa, mas o desenho continua inconsistente. Fiquei triste pelo pessoal do bar... A história, claramente, não está mais focando no casal principal, mas também fica evidente que está caminhando para algo maior, um sistema intricado, e que certas personagens vão começar a se envolver mais... Ver o lado, passado e motivações de todos é muito interessante, nos faz sentir mais próximos da história; ver os erros e acertos, os questionamentos, o processo mental, o amadurecimento... Assim como o anterior as personagens estão mais profundas, novas não param de aparecer, gente morrendo, suspense... Foram tantos infiltrados e conspiração que dá até medo da vida real! Mas também teve seus momentos ridículos (ainda assim "criativos"). Uma coisa que continua me incomodando é a falta de preocupação do pessoal com as digitais, câmeras são citadas bem pouco e um personagem em específico poderia ter tentando continuar como espião, mas ao invés deixou claro como a água que ele era (um dos) culpado. Não sei se é pressa, descuido, porque é Japão ou o quê, mas essas coisas me fazem ter aquela sensação de pontas soltas e brechas, algo que qualquer leitor um pouco atento detesta.

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Devils' Line, Vol. 4 takes the emotional and political tension to new heights, and I am absolutely hooked. The stakes feel so much bigger now, with the anti-devil discrimination getting even more dangerous and the conspiracy surrounding vampires deepening. There’s a real sense of urgency in this volume, and every scene feels important, whether it’s a quiet emotional moment or a brutal action sequence.

Anzai’s internal battle with his instincts is getting more intense, and Tsukasa continues to be the emotional heart of the story. Their relationship is developing in such a realistic and heart-wrenching way, and I love how their struggles feel so personal yet so deeply connected to the bigger conflict. The artwork is stunning as always, with raw, expressive emotions that hit hard. If you’re already invested in this series, Vol. 4 absolutely delivers. Five stars—this story is only getting better and I can’t wait for what’s next!
