"This man who upholds the law, respects mankind, loves his career, and shows concern for the woman who wanted him dead is the King of All Demons and invader of Ente Isla. And that is exactly why Emilia and I have so much trouble with him."

HUEHUAHHDUEJUAHUEHUAHUDHEUA

Lucifer talking about his past in Heaven will always be my jam and jelly

tbh any of the ente islans talking about their pasts always makes me go fucking feral, it's fantastic

I really like that in this series, angels and demons aren't like other worldly forces, but mortal beings (albeit with different life spans), but just like a different species of mortal beings

peak comedy is also suzuno being insanely rich with no explanation ever and I fucking love it

"Dude...I don't care if you forget about me or whatever...but try to keep it down, okay? All that shouting makes my wounds still hurt, all right?"

let urushihara rest 2k20

I know it's all for the comedy, but it *is* a little weird the Acieth keeps coming on to the guy who's the adoptive father of her older sister

She also kind of admits that she's fallen for him(!). Basically, she says that it would incur the wrath of Chiho, more as an aside to herself, after she and Maou have their confessional scene. @ the very least, her feelings have changed.

Maou was doing research on humans while his generals were off conquering. Fundamental diff is that humans have to eat, and demons just absorb energy. It's where he went wrong btw

The first half of the book is Emi's perspective, as we get a look back at how she ended up in Olba's hands, and what mysteries her parents were hiding from her. The next bit, from around 40 percent on, is spent on Maou and Suzuno's travel prep and then actual travels. Maou tells Suzuno why he conquered Ente Isla (human fear as a power source). Church confessional style.
