Construction on Procel's utopia is finally underway. But nothing seems to be going right for the young demon lord. Between negotiating with shrewd merchants, bestowing names on contracted monsters, and facing off against fellow demon lords, Procel has his hands full. Who knew building a city would be this difficult?
We're finally getting to see more genuine bad guys, as some of them try to team up to take on the main character. In addition, though, it's clear that the "creator" of this world and of the demon lords is not a nice guy. The development of this "dungeon" in the form of a city is interesting, and the author has gone into some intriguing directions with the idea. It's still fairly clear that he wants his initial three helpers to be his permanent "staff" of assistants to him as a demon lord, but the idea of sort of an undead bureaucrat helping him to do the paperwork is really unusual. The artwork of this volume isn't quite as over the top as in the first two, but still could be better if it wasn't so exaggerated, even by manga standards.
Rui Tsukiyo, Author. Hideaki Yoshikawa, Illustrator. The light novel is a good series. This manga version adds with a solid visualization of the characters and action. Readers should enjoy either or both.
From the previous volume I remembered that I found it quite basic and a little boring but I have to say that from what I remember to now it has really picked up, I'm not sure of I'm 100% on board quite yet so I'll see how it goes in the next volume
