Si ignoro cierta cosa que sucede casi al final, este podría ser el mejor volumen de los 7 que ya he leído.

Tras la derrota de la facción conformada por descendientes de los antiguos maous, la Hero-faction empieza a intrigar y a actuar indirectamente… y aun así esa gente es aterradora: secuestran humanos poseedores de Sacred Gears, les lavan el cerebro y los mandan a luchar contra enemigos poderosos para que alcancen el Balance-Breaker. No es divertido, no…

Odín va de visita a Japón… y se le asignan guardias. A Odín. El extremadamente poderoso dios.
Sí, me reí mucho… hasta que se demostró que la cantidad de guardias era insuficiente.

¡Además! ¡ohdiosmío, aparecen Loki y Fenrir! ¡y una réplica de Mjölnir!
...Lo cual definitivamente no me emociona, jaja…
Aaaah, lástima que no sea el martillo original…

A Odín Lo acompaña Barakiel, un Ángel Caído y padre de Himejima Akeno… y maldita sea, las escenas de rechazo de su hija hacia él son tan, tan geniales. Se siente la tensión, sí.

En una nota relacionada, me estoy dando cuenta de que esta historia me gustaría más si, bueno, no estuviera narrada y protagonizada por Hyoudou Issei. ¿Chichigami-sama? ¿qué carajo en serio?

¡Ahora, presentando a los maestros del disfraz!
"—Hoy Ise-kun será mi novio durante todo el día. …… ¿Puedo llamarte Ise?
¡Mirarme con esos ojos y actuar con timidez es realmente hacer trampa Akeno-san!
—P-por favor hazlo.
—¡Hurra! Gracias, Ise.
Su expresión de alegría fue simplemente la mejor. Oh mierda. ¡Una sola expresión suya es como un arma! ¡Entonces sentí la mirada asesina de alguien mientras me sentía muy feliz! Cuando miré a mi alrededor…
¡Hau!
…Vi un color carmesí.
Cuando miré con atención, una persona de cabello carmesí que llevaba un sombrero y gafas de sol estaba mirando hacia aquí desde detrás del poste telefónico… Ah, y también la persona rubia que llevaba gafas con los ojos llorosos. Y una persona de complexión pequeña a la que le salen orejas de gato de la máscara que usan los luchadores. ¡Y el tipo sospechoso que llevaba una bolsa de papel en la cabeza! Y Kiba, que está vestido como suele hacerlo, agita sus manos disculpándose.
Sí. Son Buchou y los miembros del club. ¿¡Decidieron venir y seguirnos mientras se disfrazaban!?"

Another good read

My only real problem with light novels is that they're so short, that said and without any intended irony at all this one felt too short. I know standard light novel readers know what I'm talking about when I say that and when you've reached this point in a series you should know by now too. Maybe it was the extended fight scenes but, for me it felt shorter than usual. In all honesty though I still love this series and plan to read it to completion, however long that takes.

The fight scenes were okay, the opponents are getting stronger, the personal stuff that makes this irreverent comedy so great are still there, so the author is keeping true to himself. I also particularly like how Issue handles Akeno in this book, because it shows he's not just a horn dog. He's still a but socially dumb but that's literally the expectation so no complaints, its the knee slapping humor brought about by his inability to navigate social situations that makes this series pure gold anyways.

With all of that said and the minimal spoilers included , I hope you read and enjoy this book as much as I do. Its a 3/5 but a solid 3/5 if you understand me. As for why the 5 stars when I say 3 well learn how Amazon works and messes with authors. You can always say what you want in a review but unless you really hate the book leaving a 5 star review ensures a book will continue to be promoted likely allowing you to read more good books due to higher sales. Amazon's algorithm is brutal, no need to encourage them. Help your favorite authors and leave the five stars even if you're gonna bash em just tell those who read what you think in the review... Anyways here to a good book 7 and a hope that book 8 is even better.
