As always I had a real weakness for Makoto and quite hate the other two "heroes" *sigh*
4.5 rounded up, I really enjoyed the two extra stories at the end, though I would have loved the main story was longer, I think it ended around 90% or earlier.
This time at least the parts involving the other two (useless) heroes was interesting, however I don't remember the demon army using the rings again in the story after this one time,so I think it was a bit wasteful maybe to use at all, it would have been better if it was used again in the next battles or even improved. All in all, a great read and really enjoyed Makoto's clueless moments after the battle, cough the Wicked One cough LOL
