Rate this book
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO TRANSFORM! In a nail-biting finish, Shido managed to correctly guess who Natsumi was impersonating. His reward for beating her at her own game? A house full of screaming children! In an act of pure frustration, Natsumi turned Shido’s friends into a bunch of kids before making a break for it. Of course, there’s no need to worry because she’s still hanging around, doing her best to ruin his reputation from a distance... Shido’s only chance to return the gang to normal and reclaim any semblance of peace is to give Natsumi...a makeover?!

Not only does Shido suddenly has to deal with a bunch of little kids, but Natsumi is still very angry and targeting Shido with a harassment campaign of epic proportions. When Ellen from DEM suddenly arrives at the scene, things get even more muddied. Will their presence help or hinder?

Much like previous volumes the story is a mix of the absurd with entertaining characters and a reasonably consistent world. As usual there are a few moments that I find rather cringe especially in the beginning and the end (maybe it feels less odd when we understand what exactly DEM and Westcott want), but that is nothing new.

All in all, while a bit of a quick read, it was entertaining and I am curious where things are going.

I did not enjoy this volume as much as a previous two-parter, but I don't know why. Maybe because of my toothache?

So this volume is the continuation of the previous volume, since the "gang" tries to resolve Natsumi's psychological issues.
Every character (expect Shidou) felt excluded to the story and also Shidou sometime felt like and idiot. Maybe I didn't like the characterization in this volume?
