ASIA’S GETTING MARRIED?!
Long ago, Asia used her Sacred Gear to save the life of a demon, a benevolent act that resulted in her being ousted from the Church. Now that demon, Diodora Astaroth, is back and hoping to wed Asia. She refuses, but the seemingly friendly man is persistent. As the Gremory Familia’s next Rating Game opponent, he wagers that if he wins, Asia will be his bride. Naturally, Issei’s not about to let some pretty boy snatch up the blond beauty in his life, but Diodora’s machinations may prove more sinister and cunning than initially suspected. Returning home with Asia could require drastic measures...

El Juggernaut-Drive da miedo, miedo.
Hace años, Asia Argento salvó a Diodora Astaroth. Ahora él ha vuelto y quiere casarse con ella.
El demonio es guapo, influyente y rico y todo estaría bien… si no fuera porque Asia está enamorada de otro y no desea contraer matrimonio con el tipo, muchas gracias.
Diodora, por supuesto, acepta el rechazo y respeta la decisión de aquella a quien dice amar… ¿verdad?
Tsk, ¡claro que no! primero, intenta intercambiar "alfiles" con Rias Gremory y, cuando esta se niega y Hyoudou Issei le impide besar la mano de Asia, insulta al Sekiryuutei, se gana un buen golpe, afirma que vencerá a Hyoudou en el próximo [Rating Game] y le dice a Asia que, una vez que lo haya derrotado, le gustaría que ella corresponda a sus sentimientos.
Todo muy divertido, jaja.
Y luego, lo que sucede con la Khaos Brigade y lo que Freed revela sobre ese grandísimo hijo de—
En una nota no relacionada, Sairaorg Bael parece ser impresionante, sí señor.
¡Además!
"—Hyoudou-san también tendrá una entrevista en un estudio diferente. Eres famoso por ser el "Chichiryuutei".
—¿¡Chichiryuutei!?
¿¡Qué es eso!? ¡Me sorprendió el apodo desconocido que me pusieron! El personal continúa entonces animado.
—Te has vuelto muy popular entre los niños. Parece que entre los niños te llaman “Oppai Dragon”. Gritaste "Oppai" en el partido contra Sitri, ¿correcto? Eso fue transmitido durante la merienda en el Inframundo. Y se volvió muy popular entre los niños que vieron eso.
¡Hablas en serio! ¿¡Soy un tema candente entre los mocosos del inframundo!? ¡No puedo entenderlo! Pero un Oppai Dragon… Ah, creo que seguí diciendo Oppai… Parece que los niños se sienten atraídos por esas cosas simples. Parece que lo que capta la atención de los niños es lo mismo tanto en el inframundo como en el mundo humano.
[¡U-Uoooooooon…..!]
De repente Ddraig empezó a llorar dentro de mí. Hey hey hey. ¿Qué pasó?
[Yo, que era llamado Dragón Celestial… Yo, que era temido como el Sekiryuutei…..]"
En serio gente, ¿por qué diablos sigo con esto?

Stupidly Fantastic
I read for enjoyment and much of that comes from the sincere comedy written into a book. The reason that I'm even able to read this and laugh is because I know the author is parodying male characters who are sex obsessed teens. It's bitterly ironic in places that are knee slappingingly hilarious while at the same time face palm worthy for the amount of cringeworthy material there is. It isn't the premise which is fine, it's that this reads like a great sitcom only using anime and in particular harem tropes. I powered through this book because I couldn't put it down, even while tears of laughter filled my eyes I couldn't stop reading what would happen next. Every character has the potential and almost the duty to make you laugh and when a book can make you feel its a sign if good writing. I think it's fantastic, stupid in places, and genuinely goofy but that is my prerogative. I hope you read this and the rest of the series so we get more. Even more I hope you enjoy it.

June 9, 2018The scene between Asia and Ise was so emotional it made me cry. Ise was able to reach Balance Breaker before and the Juggernaut Drive; if it is still incomplete as it is now just how strong will he be when it is complete?
P.S. The Oppai Dragon song was so funny. Hahaha! 😂 and Switch Princess Rias! Hahaha deads.

The big conclusion to the current arc, and though it had some cool fights and action, the lack of storytelling and development just makes it that much less enjoyable. The sore old tropes continue and I doubt they're going anywhere, I'm inclined to give the series a drop from this point on unless it gets considerably better, especially with much better fantasy fiction about.

Refer to the first volume for review.

Why does this series make me laugh so much, it's so immature but when I need quick cheap laughs this series really hits the spot. This was a good conclusion to the arc but really the reason this is getting a 4/5 because I had to stop reading multiple times during the song at the end and just laugh so I could digest how sillly it was before continuing to read.

Man that scene where Issei is searching for Asia was a true tearjerker. Anyway volumes 5 and 6 were simply breathtaking, can't wait for the anime adaptation.
