I'm not gonna say Imuri's a good person, but Josh was a child soldier and he was miserable as hell with the world being on his shoulders

>>282671720
I think it's clear he's still torn on the decision of giving up on his duties but this is the first time in his life probably that he picked himself over duty, the story is going so he will come around surely but acting like him giving up was only because of Imuri is downplaying his struggle by a lot
>>
>>282671806
Anyone who would risk everyone else for the sake of his personal pleasure is, objectively, not a good person. He of all people should know that Imuri is nothing but a temptress sent by hell for this literal exact purpose.
>>
This makes me wonder how the manga CAN end, since it's not like you can have him regain his powers and kill all demons forever or make the world perfect. It would also be kind of a cop-out to just make Baba Yaga the big bad and once they kill her everything is magically ok, or to "redeem" the demons who by their nature would basically exist forever because of how humans are. This would have been a pretty good ending, just focus on one person's story and how he found happiness.
>>
>>282671861
Nta but he also planned putting the entire world to sleep with Bel. It's fine for him to not actually be some inherently saintly person and instead break under pressure like anyone else would.
>>
>>282671861
When the safety and future of everyone is built upon the suffering of a kid, that's objectively not good either. Priest almost condemned everyone because of that and only detracted from that plan because Imuri gave him a shred of hope.

In Josh's defense, he very explicitly refuses to get anyone else caught up in his own desires. We saw that with Beelzebub in the last arc.
Is he being selfish? Perhaps. But he's definitely going about this in the best way possible. Even after leaving the Church, he's still trying to help out his exorcist friends.
I would say he's a good person, even if he's not perfect.
>>
>>282671816
Or if the church wasn't insanely corrupt and abusive, which is now going to get swept under the rug because hurr summoning Baba Yaga bad so let's ignore how the witches had a very real point.
>>
>>282672032
>When the safety and future of everyone is built upon the suffering of a kid, that's objectively not good either.
That's debatable.

>>282672048
>But he's definitely going about this in the best way possible.
And I'm sure giving up on his powers so he can have sex will definitely not have any consequences whatsoever.
>>
>>282672113
Counterpoint: the witches quite literally aid a demon who commits genocide for fun and forced a 5 year old girl to eat her own baby brother.
Sure some priests were assholes, but the witches are still very much in the wrong.
>>
>>282672202
I mean sure they did bad things too but we're never expected to forget about that whereas I think there's a high chance their legitimate issues will be sidelined with the Baba Yaga mess. The church is treated as mostly good even though the abuse is widespread and making it go away is unrealistic as that will never happen irl.

Chapter 63 and 64 showed Beelzebub's Pinky, and Mammon's feather. The eye is probably from Asmodeus. The other eye is probably Belphegor's since his eye is always covered, and the white feather is probably Lucifer's. The hair seems to be Leviathan's so I guess we're missing Satan's fragment.
>>
So... Is this how it's going to be? The bad guys win? Now what?
>>
>>282672176
It's not though, abusing a child is evil.

>>282672352
I double checked, Leviathan's hair was confirmed in 35.

>>282672365
If Satan wins the children will be a lot more than abused

Leviathan can become the leader of Hell and lead it to redemption I guess.

>church is treated as mostly good even though the abuse is widespread and making it go away is unrealistic as that will never happen irl.
I don't think the abuse is really treated as "widespread." Most of Josh's suffering came from a single asshole priest (Nicholas) and even Verge, a guy who was literally sexually assaulted by priests throughout his childhood, seems to see it as individuals committing evil instead of the organization as a whole. The real issue is that the Church isn't doing enough to punish these people, and in doing so kinda enables their corruption (which actually closer to what happened with the Catholic Church's pedophilia scandal irl. Priests aren't any more likely to be child predators than any other adults, but they were in a position of trust and the organization wasn't doing enough to punish them),

Though it's interesting that Dante has the perspective of "these people should be kept around" even though he himself was victimized by one of those corrupt clergy. I'm interested to see where they go with this.

Yeah a lot of folklore was just scaring kids into not doing stuff

>>282672176
The kid of Omelas is a sentient, feeling being. He's human with all that carries. You can't expect him to shoulder the suffering of everyone when no one is capable of that without breaking down in the process one way or another, and with him down, everyone else will break apart too if they never considered any other way to exist.
And in this case it's not debatable because we already saw the possible repercussions of that mindset. Priest-kun was ready to become the harbinger himself because he'd had enough and only didn't because he was given an out. Even outside of any ethical discussion, logically it's been proven unfeasible in the long term.
>>
>>282672756
You gotta make it scary somehow
>>
Church shouldn't treat their most powerful asset like a trash. if he was treated like prince with good mother and sister love he would see babilon whore's lie and save the world.
>>
>>282671421
Well, we/he already got told by Lucifer that all his scheming will amount to nothing.
>>
>>282672768
The difference from the kid of Omelas is that it was merely a human matter. This is a conflict of literal demons. Nothing a human does will be as bad as what a demon will do.

>Priest-kun was ready to become the harbinger himself because he'd had enough and only didn't because he was given an out.
That's a moral failing on his part, as shown yet again in this chapter.
>>
>>282672361
Everything is going according to God's plan so the bad guys will lose. Sure, a lot of people are going to die, but that's all part of the plan.

Has Leviathan actually done anything wrong? Beelzebub, Mammon, and Asmodeus are all pretty bad, Satan's behind all this Belphegor fucked up a little, Lucifer I can't exactly fault because he know his fate is predestined. But I don't remember Leviathan doing anything particularly bad.

Okay this has nothing to do with your actual point, but the child of Omelas was introduced as a hypothetical in the actual short story. The whole point of the short story was that readers are so pessimistic that they can't believe that a "perfect" society can exist without some kind of dark secret, even when that dark secret makes zero real sense.
>Here's this city where everything is perfect and everyone is happy.
>Oh what's that? You think there has to be some kind of dark secret?
>Fine. All their happiness comes from a suffering child. Satisfied now?
There's no logical reason that a suffering child would enable a city's happiness, yet somehow the child makes the setting feel more "real." Because readers are so cynical that a literal suffering child is the only way they can buy a utopia existing.

I think he only got one of the two precious things correct. Also, has Imuri even told Priest-kun that it was Satan who told her to try to seduce him? I feel like keeping that part out is a red flag after she should be no secrets now.

Satan WON

>>282673003
To rank the demon lords from least to most evil:
Leviathan > Belphegor > Lucifer >>>>>>>>>>>>> Mammon > Asmodeus >>>>> Beelzebub

Leviathan isn't "evil" and she doesn't act out of any kind of malice. That said, I hesitate to call her "good" considering what she said to Satan about how Imuri is "something that belongs to her."
Belphegor is a mess of a person and he did try to end the world. That said, I think he's arguably the most capable of changing for the better. He did own up to his failings at the end of his arc, and he did seem to take the first step to healing from Luka's death.
While Lucifer is the most overtly virtuous of them all, he's also the most stuck in his ways. He's not "evil" but he's fucking delusional and will never ever give up this pointless one-sided "war."
Mammon practically embodies everything wrong with modern society but he's at least good to his employees.
Asmodeus is a mass rapist who never expresses any kind of remorse for what she does. I consider her worse than Mammon if only because Asmodeus DOES realize on some level that what she's doing is wrong, yet she simply chooses to do it anyway.
Beelzebub does not need an explanation.

Y'know since it was hinted that in the Sloth arc that Satan and his wife are on bad terms, it would be hilarious if Satan's actual motivation is that he wants to make his failing marriage everyone's problem.
The real reason he wants to set up Josh and Imuri isn't to take over the world or whatever, but because he's projecting onto them and wants to make their relationship go to shit just like his did.

Maybe I’m reading way too deeply into it, but I think the reason Josh went with Imuri is that she’s simply a far more selfish and greedy person than Leah is. Leah loves him too but she’s also really hesitant to convince him to stop being an exorcist because she’s worried that other people will die without him (Note: I absolutely do not fault her for this considering her past). Imuri is willing to sacrifice anything and everything to be with the guy she likes, up to and including his own happiness, which is why she was the one who ended up with Josh.

The end of Sloth was Imuri taking a bullet for Josh when all his Church friends were trying to kill her. So even though it was him protecting her until she took the bullet, I can see Josh being mindbroken enough to reframe that whole scene as her protecting him.

I’ve had a lot of ups and downs with religion over my life, but am currently getting back into Catholicism and trying to take it more seriously.
Christians are not required to follow the old law. The apostles decided this at the Jerusalem Council.
>>282674466
I actually disagree that the story frames Christianity as an inherent negative. Yeah it says you shouldn’t be a zealot, but as early as the first chapter they make it clear that this isn’t truly what being a believer means.
>>
>>282674584
No, it's kinda crazy how people believing in an all powerful creator that may speak to them in their mind is not seen as some kind of mental illness in this modern age simply because the majority believe.
>>
>>282674595
how about you, Christians aren't expected to follow mosaic law outside the 10 Commandments. Only heretic money-worshipping Judaizer Amerimutts pay any attention to that.
>>
>>282674492
Yeah, you can definitely draw a parallel between them. Leah just wants the best for Mr. Josh while Imuri would prioritize his love over his well-being.
Also,
>>Still wants the best for him even as she knows he picked another girl
The funniest thing is that Imuri did the exact opposite shit in the lust arc by letting Mr. Josh walk into Asmodeus's clutches because she "lost".
I can't wait for their relationship to crash and burn holy shit
>>
>>282674625
This is true
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
It's about following the spirit of Christianity, not the law as it's specifically written.

>>282674227
Sin is anything that pushes you further away from God, don't get it confused. Nothing is "a sin" just for its own sake. Being a guy who sticks his penor in the buttholes of dozens of other guys is extremely far from what God intended for you, and most people like that couldn't have less interest in being close to God. Thus, why it's bad.
In this manga, Lucifer explicitly told the witch that God still loved him. Lucifer also still loves God, and is loved by God. All the demons are probably still loved by God. And now, Mr. Priest loves the demons, too. Instead of just exterminating them mindlessly like a machine, he came to have empathy for them. (In real life, you cannot have empathy for demons, so don't even try; they're total psychos.)
>>282673332
Satan has not won, and will never win.
He does, however, still have to be contended with. Seemed like a lot of readers forgot about him within the last few chapters.
>>
>>282674758
Matthew 5:17, even tho the statement about not changing Torah Law isn't absolute given statement like Matthew 19:3-6, and in Matthew 17:24-27 Jesus basically says that Torah mandated Temple tax should be payed not because you have to but for the sake of not arising controversy, point is that Jesus makes the Temple obsolete.
Still, early gentile converts to Christianity were not required to keep all Torah Law, as was decided at the Jerusalem council.

>>282675012
Honestly this is all out of character for the God from the Bible who absolutely did hate people and did shit out of spite and hatred all the time. The manga is in a weird spot where it both tries to have the Bible be true and also have God be a good guy instead of the murderous psychopath he frequently acts like.
>>
>>282673194
>an even stronger excorcist.
The exorcists's powers come from God, not from themself. Josh was groomed to have no attachments to the world and zero selfishness or desires other than to exorcise demons, which is why he was the strongest. Everyone else has their attachments, doubts, worldly desires, etc, and are not on his level. It is not likely that an even stronger exorcist could be made without refining the process that Josh went through. Genetics aren't a factor.

They don't. Even if you want to claim they are somehow oppressed, their rituals still require the death and torment of people. Doesn't matter if they showed that one group they killed had one scummy CEO, the witches just want you to feel bad for them when they are straight up just not good people.

His miracle powers were weakened because he did the sex, but his demon powers are apparently completely fading over time without Belphegor's Ark to act as a source. So he could still wield divine power, he's just weaker than he was before.

on the other hand, Lucifer aspires to be like God, and angels are the servants of God. i don't think you qualify as an angel if you're refusing to serve God.

A: She probably blames herself for what happened to Josh
B: She saw Imuri as a friend (even though she was literally investigating her)

>>282676260
It's for a few reasons, I guess. The vibe I get is very familiar to me as when you have a big fight with your spouse and never truly make up, but just both quietly put your anger to the side and go back to life as usual, and even have fun with each other, laugh, smile, cuddle, but that wound is still unhealed beneath the surface because it has not been properly addressed.
The other thing is, as he said. He feels anxious because he knows that being hedonistic and "of the world" is wrong and not what he was made for. People need his help and he's just off being a wagie.
Last thing I can think of is that he's a human, and a priest, and she's a demon, and a succubus. They cannot get married. It's a very forbidden relationship. Hard to feel at ease in such a situation. She's also subtly manipulating him, and he probably knows it. First thing she does when she wakes from a coma is asks "Wanna fuck?" And when he wonders if he should try harder to help his friends and be more priest-like, she tells him not to, and says it's fine to live a selfish life only worrying about his own needs. This is something he wants to hear, but that he knows is evil.

I’m not happy because satan won or sin occurred. I’m happy because the protagonist smiled. I also believe this isn’t the “win” for evil that you think it is.

Yeah, I have to agree. I think the reason Leah never got with Josh was because it would ultimately have ended in tragedy. Remember that Leah was fully planning on dying if necessary to repel Beelzebub, and even after she survived, her lifespan suffered for it. I could see her just not wanting to make her ties on Earth stronger than they need to be before the Beelzebub fight.
>>
>>282677829
No.
Imuri never gave a shit about Satan’s plans. She only went along with them because they offered an opportunity to live out her fantasy of making someone choose her over God. Like, that’s the whole reason she was so fixated on the story of Azazel.

Indeed I'd say she is at least the least evil. Which makes theological sense, even when she is a "demon" she is not a fallen angel unlike Satan and company. She even carries on with God's order as she continues to give birth to the creatures on the sea.

I'd say besides Belphegor and the Luka thing she is just a tragic hero, one with a twisted behaviour, of course. But she never defies God, even when sometimes the demon lord manipulate her.

She's not even angry at God for her being lonely, she just feels jealous of the other creatures. Which makes sense for her being Envy and also explains why she is "good" on some way. Leviathan was created by God, one can say she is just the most twisted and moraly gray representation of his will

But well, if we carry this all the way we can argue the Demon Lords aren't evil since they are also plan of God's Will. Lucifer even says all the demonic powers comes from the only source which is God's love
>>
>>282678648
He probably has a really twisted love for Lillith, like Imuri's own love for Josh. So it might be a little bit of both: he loves her, but he also wants to keep her in Cocytus for whatever reason.
>>
If you think about it, it's extremely tragic.
Josh was abused since he was a kid, manipulated into believing that he needs to sacrifice pretty much everything to fight the demons.
Then he finds love but she's also a plot by Satan to manipulate Josh.
Although his love is true, it all started because of manipulation.
He has been manipulated all his life, by different parties. Pretty fucked up.

>>282674492
>Leah loves him too but she’s also really hesitant to convince him to stop being an exorcist because she’s worried that other people will die without him
I don't think so. If anything, Leah would be happy to cover for Josh if he wanted to tap out. I think her being less selfish has more to do with her not wanting to form a relationship with him and then hurt him by dying early.
>>
>>282679407
>leaves to "find himself"
that's dumb, he already knows what he wants. The problem is Imuri refuses to come clean about everything and Joshua is too mindbroken to press her on it.
>>
>>282679407
If this was a played straight romance story, this scene would've taken place at the very end. We still have at least one more part left, so I don't think it's going to be as simple as "and then Josh and Imuri lived with no problems in their relationship besides demon lords trying to kill him :D"
>>
>>282679537
>he already knows what he wants
He really doesn't. Hence why he's working part time in the job he previously said he wanted to do, but still fretting over his previous occupation. Until Satan and Baba Yaga are resolved he won't be able to really figure out what he wants for himself because the responsibility to save the world is too deeply ingrained in his being.
>>
>>282675766
I think he's a borderline case. He's still as strong as an angel and has an angelic form because he's genuinely benevolent, and, with knowledge of god's plans, is going forward with actions he knows are part of god's plans and will fulfill god's plans, and he is doing it in good faith trying to help people.
But at the same time, he thinks he knows better than god and is hoping that he'll somehow be validated.
Basically, he only kind of half-fell because he's too retarded to rebel properly. He's like a soldier who exactly follows all the orders you gave him in a good faith attempt to do what's good for your country, he just expects that somehow this will result in him getting promoted ahead of you and you having to agree that you were a dumbass and he was right.

An old pagan deity that stuck around after Slavs converted to Christianity. Has traits of totemic spirit, mistress (and embodiment) of the forest and guardian of the entrance to the underworld. Maybe intended to be a priestess who either cremated the dead or did initiation for those who come of age (which involved symbolic death and rebirth). Morally grey, because nature also is, but can help out if you ask right.
Lives in a hut on chicken legs. There are apparently a lot of versions why it's "chicken legs" but apparently one of them is that ancient Slavs built these huts placed on tree stumps, made their entrance face the forest and put their dead inside as a rite. Apparently, the stumps kinda looked like chicken legs. The other version I heard is that the foundation beams of some huts were "smoked" for preservation, and Russian words for "smoked" and "chicken" just so happen to be very similar, so people eventually got confused and changed the word.
The hut on the chicken legs in most fairy tales stands on the border of the forest, and can follow verbal commands and actually turn around so that the entrance either goes into the forest or outside of it. This is apparently supposed to be representative of a place on the border between the land of the living and the land of the dead.
So, basically, it's complicated and old mythology bullshit that nobody is really sure about because nobody wrote it down. It doesn't make sense because it's not meant for you, it's meant for children two thousand years ago so they don't fuck up their initiation rites.
I'm just saying what I heard from randomly reading about the topic, so maybe I messed something up. I'm not a mythology expert, and this shit is apparently pretty vague anyway.
>but how does this relate to Christianity
No idea. Knowing the usual pattern with those old pagan gods, either the Christians said she was a demon and made her extra evil, or that she didn't exist and it was all nonsense.
>>
>>282681098
If there is hard information and nothing is sure about them can it really be said that Christianity made the myths more evil?

>>282671210
Yeah its not ending on a positive note
>>
>>282681264
I think it will. It'll just get dragged through the mud first.
I'm hoping Imuri gets BTFO, Josh finds a meaning of love that isn't desperate attachment to a treacherous demon, one that he actually feels good about and that gives him purpose and strength, and the one who experiences a love that makes them give up everything, in the end, is Imuri.
Of course, what I'm EXPECTING is that Josh does find a better sense of love, but it's a borderline platitude, to god or mankind or something, and Imuri gets off basically scot-free.
>>
>>282681213
No idea. I think there was supposed to be pretty good circumstantial evidence for other pagan spirits that stuck around becoming more evil, but I'm not an expert on this kind of stuff so it's not like I know for sure. I just retell what I heard from random sources which I don't even remember mostly. And from Wikipedia.

>>282678691
they are evil in the sense that they willfully embody the sinful traits of man despite knowing better, and seek to defy god with a true understanding of the futility of such action.
Lucifer is definitely the most evil in this situation, and honestly the whole thing about him having glimpsed the literal predetermined future and still trying to change it is a bit retarded. but it does make him a more interesting character than just hating humans because he thinks they are inferior beings.
>>
>>282682366
Lucifer wouldn't feel so retarded if we had a small backstory showing him trying to change and failing all the time so he went to try something else instead even if its unlikely to suceed
>>
>>282682366
>but it does make him a more interesting character than just hating humans because he thinks they are inferior beings.
All of the interpretations have been fantastic. Between these and the very specific fapping scene, it's really clear which authors know their material and which stagnate at "gluttony = the villain is fat"
>>
>>282678691
The last part is funny for me because in the extra chapter notes, there are miracle researchers in the church who arrived at the same conclusion, that demonic powers are the same as the miracle and they started to go full in denial if I remember correctly.

That's normal.
Jewish myths downgraded the gods of their competition into demons like what happened to Leviathan and Beelzebub.
This happens because they are monotheists so they can't just add new gods (bellow the main 12 of course) or say that this other god is another name for one of their gods like what Romans did (like saying Ra is Zeus) before they adopted Christianity and started making even weirder things like adding Saint George killing a dragon or Saint Marth taming a Tarasque.
Nowadays is even more weird due to how Lainamerican nations adopted Christianity and we see an ever bigger hotpot of myths and religions in those lands.

I could turn Charlotte good by putting a baby inside of her.

She's thirsty for stronger men like Vergilus and I work out regularly. I would have an easy time wooing her. Then we fuck and I get her pregnant. Then, with a baby inside of her and her flowing with maternal instincts, I convince her to settle down with me and get married. Boom. Witch redeemed.

The sex wouldn't even count as a sin because I'm doing it to redeem a witch so God wouldn't mind.
>>
>>282683852
His plan might not even be to conquer the world or whatever. What we do know is that he's attached to Lillith (who's currently trapped in Cocytus), and considering that he specifically sent a Lilin to target Josh, whatever plans he has with him and Imuri are related to the situation with himself and Lillith, whatever it is. We also know that he's trying to find a way to go to Earth, but he can't for some reason (despite the rest of the demon lords being able to).
Whatever his plan is, it involves the Baba Yaga's schemes somehow.
>>
>>282680251
At this point, the only thing that can really make Mr. Josh go nuclear is Imuri herself. His friends are doing fine, the Church isn't trying to force him to fight, and he's doing all he can to foil Vergil's schemes despite losing most of his power.
The only real bad thing that can happen to Josh is if his relationship with Imuri sours, or something happens to her (again). I really don't think the latter would happen, considering we already had Josh lose his shit over Imuri almost dying and I don't think the manga would be touching on anything new by having Josh go through the same scenario again.
However, the manga does talk a lot about how love alone isn't enough to solve everything. So Imuri and him breaking up would be a great way to bring some of those points up again.
>>
>>282672750
>>Though it's interesting that Dante has the perspective of "these people

Dante's logic is that even if the exorcists Verge killed were shit, they were still useful in stopping demons and making Josh's burden lighter.
>>
>>282685614
Honestly what I think is gonna happen is when the Baba Yaga situation explodes, the Church is absolutely not gonna be able to contain it which leads Josh to join the fight of his own will. Imuri will probably lose her shit and try to keep him from fighting again, their argument gets messy and they end up breaking up over it.

Yeah, this seems too simple for the two "precious things". I doubt "power" because Josh never really coveted his own strength and "virginity" is too hackneyed, even for Lucifer.

If I had to guess one, it'd be "purpose" because of how restless Josh is, and how unfulfilled he feels being told he's "doing all he can" by keeping out of things and passing on info anonymously.


>>282686214
A schism in their relationship feels like it's going to happen - Josh is clearly happy, but not content and Imuri isn't going to like anything that isn't her "live happily in isolation" plan. Baba Yaga will be the trigger, but his call to action will be something like one of the old crew gets captured (at least Marco) as a sacrifice for the ritual and he feels the uncontrollable need to intervene no matter how powered-down he is. The mass-slaughter will follow afterwards.

If Josh is going to be a Christ parallel, he's the one most likely to die between him and Imuri because he'll need to eventually. Though my money is on Marco getting killed next as part of a redemption arc.

Will Imuri actually have a demon form? I know she's depowered but the manga has teased it way too much with that "Put art of wings and a tail in the background behind Imuri" thing. Shit was even in the sex chapter. I just think she would be way hotter if she looked the part she's playing.
>>
>>282679049
She wanted to know if Sarah would reject her if she tried to rape her, therefore affirming that Sarah would never be hers. She regrets not being able to affirm it, but does so through El Josh. Similar but different. She didn't want submission, she wanted confirmation.

3 chapters in a row of the main villain getting everything she wants has anons angry and confused.
>>
>>282671244
Would it have made a difference though? I'd guess the main issue here is that Imuri is an unholy demon who rode cocks for hundreds if not thousands of years.
Eloping with a demon is already a sin that can’t be taken back.

>Couldn't he have officiated the marriage since he's a priest
No, because a priest can't get married. In order to be wed he'd have to renounce his priesthood, thus lose the ability to officiate it.
You also cannot marry a demon, so the union would be illegitimate either way.
>>
>>282675766
Lucifer mentioned that demonic and angelic power are two sides of God’s love. Presumably the reason why he still keeps his powers is because he truly understands this fact and thus doesn’t twist them into demonic power like the other lords seem to do.

It's obvious that things aren't going to go well for either of the two. It's just a matter of waiting for the hammer to drop on their "idyllic" romance here. I'm not happy Adam here shacked up with Imuri though despite how obvious an outcome it is.

>>282699559
>>how do I make it so that the pair can come together as equal?
I don't know why you guys have so little faith in the author. She delivered with Asmodeus being an absolute monster and didn't try to make her a "le abused victim", which is more than what I expected from a manga after what Oshi no Ko did with Airi. I'm sure the manga will address how fucked their relationship is soon enough, and Josh would have to really digest just how much shit she's done to him. And what better time for that to happen than the Wrath Arc?
>>
>>282703322
Oh, make no mistake, the author has earned enough cred with me that I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest.
Even if I end up not thinking she stuck the landing, I'm confident I won't feel like I wasted my time reading, which is much, much higher praise than I'll afford basically any modern series.
>>
>>282704159
Yeah, absolutely. Josh and Im*ri getting together is the one thing I don't like, and considering how great everything else about the manga is, I'm confident that the next time the author addresses the matter I'll leap out of my chair and scream "KINO" at the top of my lungs.
And barring that, I'm really excited to see what the Baba Yaga's up to, and what Satan's keikaku is ultimately leading towards.
>>
>>282699559
>accidentally
Anon, I...
>>
>>282703322
The fact that Imuri handily won the character poll above Josh mindbroke a lot of people.

My sticking point is that Imuri has been around the second longest and she hasn't been slapped by reality yet. She's a love demon that hasn't held a successful relationship in millenia, but she had no problem calling Belphegor a whiny bitch because he didn't handle his nutso wife murdering their nephilim child the right way.

Having it shown to her that her shit stinks too is long overdue.
