What can I say? I love this series very much.

[3,5/5]

Kurde no, aktualnie nie jest źle, ale wspaniale także. Mam wrażenie, że strasznie się to ciągnie. Nie oczekuję, że od razu wszystko zostanie rozwiązane, ale te kroki mogłyby być odrobinę szybsze.

Cieszę się natomiast, że William podziela moje zdanie odnośnie dzieł Szekspira...

I love this series, it's so much fun!

The art is, as always, very defined and gorgeous. Also, the plot is getting more and more exciting, I practically read the whole volume in one breath.
To be honest, though, I'd like to remove half a star because all the confusion and the introduction of new characters even reached the point of actually annoying me. However, I am not quite certain whether this is meant to be, or not, therefore I hope a lot of questions will be solved in the next two or three volumes.

Nevertheless, I have to admit that I really like Camio, one of the new characters, hopefully we'll get to know him better. The "news" about Kevin are also quite intriguing. I remember laughing out loud when reading that part. Poor William! x)

The story is a little too all over the place and the introduction of a new character nearly every chapter makes it even more unfocused or confusing for the reader. There's some really interesting historical and religious mysticism incorporated here.

This one covers the Mycroft Swallow's father episode and the Camio episode. Needs more Isaac though. He's the cutest.

One of the biggest key pieces of Volume 3 is the revelation of Camio being another of Solomon’s and thus William’s demon pillars. While all the other demons before Camio have been more than a little clingy to William. Camio is quite happy to keep his distance from William.

Making it seem very interesting and if not a little surprising. With Volume 3, have now become as curious as ever to who Solomon was and what he had planned. He surely left some legacy for his descendants or should I say incarnations but we are still not privy to that. It doesn’t help that Solomon is a rather charismatic character as seen so far in the manga.

The story is fantastic, but the art was seriously lacking for a good portion of this volume. It was pretty disappointing. It definitely picked back up towards the end. I'm not sure what happened in the middle there art wise.

Keeping track of what was going on in this one was a little difficult - both the specifics of the demon politics and who was saying what, on occasion. I'm also now wondering if Kevin is of the opposite faction I thought he was before.

I like this series and this book was as good as the first two. I think that Beelzebub is an interesting character.

[L. Luck · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5☆ (no long reviews on manga series except the first and last volumes)

[Aurora · Rating 2 out of 5]

I want to like it because of the reincarnation stuff, but there are so many other elements I dislike. =_=

[Mishi · Rating 4 out of 5]

⭐️4.5

[Elyse · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beelzebuth is after William’s soul and is using the father of one of the students to do his betting. The angels are also interfering. Kevin, the butler is the new pastor at school but seems to have ulterior motives.
Once again, there is new demonic characters that are introduce. The plot thickens since they are all candidates for the representative King of Hell.
I love all the little scenes between William & Dantalion. Not sure what the connection between those two is but I cannot wait to find out.

Auch in Band 3 geht es spannend weiter. Kevin in der neue Pfarrer an Williams Schule und geht auf Distanz zu ihm. Doch was sind seine Absichten?? Wir lernen auch jemand neues kennen, Nathan Caxton, der eine dunkles Geheimnis hütet. Auch lernen wir Sitris Onkel Baalberith und den Großherzog des Nordens Belzebuth kennen. Auf welcher Seite stehen und was sind ihre Ziele?? Lest selbst!!

Nathan Caxton alias Camio is so heiß und ich hatte die ganze Zeit das Bedürfnis ihn in den Arm zu nehmen, ich hoffe er kommt in Band 4 öfter vor. Er ist 100% einer der Guten und ich hoffe das mehr Szenen mit ihm und William kommen. Und vor allem bin ich gespannt was sein Herr Belzebuth vor hat!!

Die ganze Kevin/Uriel hat mich total verwirrt und ich frage mich ob er schon als William noch klein war wusste wessen Seele er in sich trägt. Er steht wie es aussieht auf Seiten der Kirche und will Salomos Seele vor den Dämonen schützen, aber ich zweifle irgendwie daran das das alles ist!!

Auf wenn ich mich schon freue ist Samael, er sieht niedlich aus und ich bin schon gespannt auf welcher Seite er ist. Ich muss gestehen das ich auf der Seite der Dämonen stehe, die sind einfach zu schnuckelig und ich vertraue den Engeln und der Kirche nicht!!

Fazit: Auch Band 3 war wieder super spannend, sehr abwechslungsreich und hat viel Lust auf den nächsten Band gemacht. Es tun sich immer mehr Mysterien auf und ich warte nur darauf Antworten auf meine Fragen zu erhalten!! Vergesst nicht Band 4 zu lesen, denn in ihm geht es hoch her, denn die Dämonen laden zum Dinner!!

This volume was pretty interesting, when William reflects on his personal history with Kevin, it provided insight into why he was feeling such angst over where they stood currently. We also get to see more demons coming after William, more of Dante (who cleans up nicely in his human form 😏) swooping in to rescue him, and later on we're introduced to Camio. For that last reason, in particular, I'd say there were some profound plot developments in this volume that makes it worth reading. Despite that, I am enjoying this series pretty consistently and nothing particularly stuck out to me as noteworthy 🤷‍♂️ It is, however, still essential.

The pattern of William being attacked and Dantalion trying to help in exchange for being elected continues (and every time William gets saved from deciding anything). We have a few mystery appearances (like that one winged angel at the start) and new demons (like Eligos) but nothing that I felt was very plot oriented. Except the very end. It looks like it's time for the Sabbath and something BIG is going to happen in the next volume!

So far this volume felt the most filler-esque but also it was fun stuff. And So Many Swoon Worthy Moments!! God, why is Dantalion so handsome?!

[Mirela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved the story, it is progressing very well. There are still a lot of unanswered questions but I feel like there will be answers soon.

Good volume. Kind of liking the series so far.
