Love how pure hearted the main characters are ✨

This volume continues the excellence of the previous ones, and I can’t recommended it enough. The world is expanded, a new villain is fought, and our heroes get crafty. What’s not to love.

The new villain is great. Casts a grim figure from the moment he’s introduced, and reminds me of Kylo Ren with his backstory. He provides a fantastic foil for Dai personally, and causes him to even have a crisis of conscience.

The art here continues to be impeccable, and the fight sequences moreso. I really have no notes here I haven’t addressed in volume 2’s review, just that I can’t wait to get my hands on volume 4 next month.

In the third volume of this manga, Dai goes head to head with Hyunkel, a human who is in charge of the undead legion. Hyunkel has an interesting past and his story was rather fascinating. These books are always a very quick read because of the amount of action that takes place in them.

La traducción de Planeta (gracias a licencias de Square enix), una basura. Todo lo demás, la edición Kanzenban es increíble.

Me pregunto si sin el efecto nostalgia del anime realmente me gustaría este manga 🤫
