High School DxD, Vol. 5: Hellcat of the Underworld Training Camp

High School DxD Light Novel #5

by Ichiei Ishibumi, Miyama-Zero (Illustrator)

A VACATION IN THE UNDERWORLD!

School's out for the summer, and Issei's already dreaming up fantasies of hitting on hotties at the beach. His master, Rias Gremory, has other plans for him and the rest of the Occult Research Club, however—a season-long training stint in Hell. As if that wasn't disappointing enough, Issei's instructor is a terrifying dragon that tried to kill him! It may sound like a brutal lesson plan, but he'll need it because a few of Vali's allies decide to crash an underworld party and stir up trouble. What's more, one of them bears a striking resemblance to Koneko...

En el que se informa más sobre el inframundo, aparecen nuevos personajes y poderes, los traumas familiares de Koneko y Akeno se exploran y yo aprendo que beber mientras leo sobre la oh tan poderosa y acaudalada familia Gremory que incluso regala tierras a sus sirvientes no es bueno. De verdad gente, hacer eso deprime…

¡Además!
Si debía elegir entre apoyar al grupo cuya líder tiene como sueño ganar todos los [Rating Games] en los que participe o al equipo con la líder que desea abrir una escuela para enseñar a demonios de toda clase social y cuya aspiración fue menospreciada por ciertos demonios de mentalidad tradicionalista… bueno. También podría elegir el cambio para mejor por una vez, ¿no?
...Aun si el grupo elegido no tenía al prota de su lado, por lo que probablemente no era el ganador destinado…
Aaaaah, más depresión… nunca creí que volvería a odiar tanto el "poder del protagonista", pero entonces llegué a la pelea Saji contra Hyoudou…
...Y luego de todo eso empecé a reírme, porque el autor dijo "al infierno el poder del protagonista", después continué porque santos dioses, ¿qué fue eso del [Bilingual]? y por último pensé en usos para esa cosa, porque hay que aprovechar las posibles ventajas.

Por cierto, el grupo de Rias Gremory ganó, pero a sus miembros les costó más de lo que esperaban, al menos… lo cual figura como "aceptable" en mi libro, sí.

You can expect the same fun and fairly simple writing style as the previous books, following on the same story. Looses a star because of how stupid Issei can be, sometimes his idiocy is just unexplainable other than to make the story last longer, I'm not a fan of this character tropes - its very frustrating. But everyone continues to get stronger which is entertaining, the illustrations throughout are great as always from Zero, and we are introduced to some new characters and the start of a new Arc. With the the end of this book marks the end of the manga (which only got 11 volumes) so I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for the familia!

Read this novel just to find out about Rating Games between Gremory family vs Sitri family.
As expected, it is a waste to miss the scene.

Refer to the first volume for review. (I want to rate it 3 and half stars. This is because it's just a training camp.)

Simply Awesome!

I have to say this volume is honestly the best of the series so far. There is so much world building and character development for a LN in this one. It was truly an enjoyable read.

lol at Issei's new technique but yay for character development. Also they broke barriers! So happy for every member of the club.
