Description

Yuichiro has no memory of his terrifying but temporary transformation into a one-winged monster during the battle for Shinjuku. The widely feared leaders of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, however, take note of his squad's unusual talent. Despite the unwanted attention, Yuichiro's resolve to save Mika from the vampires crystallizes as his real training in demon possession and manifestation begins.

This is the fifth book in the Seraph of the End series. I really enjoyed the first few books in this manga series, but the last couple have been slow. I thought this one was even slower than volume 4.

This volume starts with Yu getting called in to be interrogated by the upper members of the Hiragi

family who are worried he is a vampire spy. After that Yu and crew learn how to manifest and be possessed by their demon weapons in order to increase their effectiveness.

I continue to enjoy the illustration a lot. I like the world here and some of the characters are interesting but I feel like the story has stalled a bit in the last couple volumes.

Overall I thought this volume was okay. I was a bit disappointed in the story progress again...not sure if I will continue the series or not at this point. I unfortunately have to buy each of these volumes (rather than borrow from the library) and I am not sure it’s really worth it.
