Funny, yet serious series about some demons, the humans trying to slay them, and a girl whose identity still has not been revealed. Involves a ring of power, a school for demons called Hades, as well as some armies of zombies.

This second volume seems to leap forward in terms of plot so much from the first volume that it feels like a whole bunch of stuff is missing.
Our motley crew of heroes are beset by a bunch of bad guys from the Madosa Guild (eh? what's that?) who want to close a portal leading to the Mahgae (ummm what/where is this exactly?) And Henduh seems to want satan's ring (powers not explained - of course not!) as well - as does Sang.
so I think that the Guild are like guardians of the 'hellmouth' maybe and want to close the portal to stop hell bleeding through into the mortal realm??? maybe. Honestly, nothing is really explained.
Majority of our protagonists get (apparently) killed but seem to resurrect with super-powers that have siomething to do with the presence of Sang - but she's only human.... or is she? She certainly seems clued up, unlike the poor readers here.
Artwork is so-so, characters are quite fun but the pacing is terrible and certainly not much is explained in this volume which has too much action and not nearly enough plot exposition.

This is all my opinion, so please don’t be offended!! Some people may love the things I don’t!!
Title: PHD: Phantasy Degree
Volume: 2
Genre: Fantasy
Plot: 4/5; lots of gripping action in this volume; after the Madosa Guild have attacked the Demon School Hades, the students begin to realise that they’re all a bit stronger than they have been before... but why?! Dev and his brother in particular are risking it all to help save the school, but will their powers be enough?!
Art style: 5/5; I love the art. So much.
Cuteness: 3/5; there was less cute cartoonishness in this volume than the first, and more action. But still, Lukan. The new chapter pages are always pretty adorable too.
Characters: 5/5; The characters are, if anything, even MORE well developed in this volume, focusing mainly on the original group of dropouts that Sang encountered. Well drawn, well thought out and well written.
Relatability: 3/5; fighting?! Yes. Demons?! No.
Overall Judgement: 4/5

This looks to be a pretty solid series. I'm already intrigued by the character dynamics and art style. Hoping the next volume is just as good.
