Reviews

[Timothy Pitkin]

Again Zofis is a amazing villain as he has no restraints and will do anything that could give him any advantage in a fight shown when he pretty much had Koko almost commit suicide just to get a tiny upper hand against Sherry in their final fight. Actually I kind of wished the entire volume focused on the Zofis fight as Demolt while having a pretty cool design is kind of cliche even thought it does feature some good character moments especially from Laila.

[Hannah Belyea]

Kiyo, Zatch and their friends are having a hard time battling Demolt, the biggest mamodo yet, and it may take an equally huge sacrifice to gain the upper hand before Milordo-Z succeeds in their battle against Brago and Sherry! Raiku will have readers on the edge of their seats with this exciting entry. Can our heroes come out on top?

[Manmangaboy]

Sherry finally completes her mission and Brago kicks all kinds of ass. One of the best vols in the series so far

[Zerostorm]

Another volume that made me cry. Love the characters so much, looking forward to where things go from here and the next arc!!

[Nikki in Niagara]

Major battle mode volume that ends a major story arc! The big battle with Demolt to free the human souls continues to its exciting conclusion. Then we switch to Sherry and Brago who had taken off by themselves to fight the evil leader Zofis and find her long lost friend. This is a great battle, Brago is a bad-*ss, but it also brings in the emotion with some flashbacks to Sherry's childhood with her friend. This takes up the rest of the volume and we're now left with the major story arc we've been following for almost the entire series. There have been some loses and now the remaining mamodos all return to their homes for well deserved rest knowing they will meet again soon to battle each other for the crown of the Mamodo homeworld.
