High School DxD: Asia & Koneko's Secret Contract!? is not all that serious a tale. In fact, it is not one story, but several side stories loosely tied together. Said side stories seem to be designed for humor and cuteness. One way to look at this volume is basically as a big breather episode from the more dramatic and action-y regular stories.
the entire premise is a simple one, really. Rias Gremory, Asia's Master as a newly reincarnated devil wants to make sure she receives proper training in fulfilling contracts with potential clients. To this end, she has Asia team up with classmate and more experienced devil, Koneko.
Of course, Asia has no clue what she is in for in doing jobs with Koneko. You see, Koneko's clients seem to have a bit of a loli fetish, or else be really playful and young. To this end, Asia is not put in danger, per se. Instead, she is put in somewhat unusual, to say the least, not to mention embarrassing, situations. Cosplay, love advice, finding the panty thief (yes I'm serious), anything seems to go.
One thing that was nice about this volume was how low-key and innocent it was in general. I don't mind, and in some cases like, the fan-service and action of DxD normally. But in this case it would not have worked with the tone of the stories. It had some fan-service obviously, but in general, kept to the tone of the collection. It was kinda nice, in the midst of such an action oriented series to have some humorous and just fun stories.
The art was not anything impressive. But then again, I don't think it was intended to be. This is a gag series of side stories so it was illustrated thusly. Granted, the regular manga isn't always Illustrated super beautifully or anything, but this was even more so arguably, and that deliberately so.
This were some sweet, funny, and endearing that I really enjoyed. Highly recommended.
