We learn more about the backstory of Kuryu and the Chief and their fight with the demon.
(Apparently the Chief was always this lazy, it isn't some weird act.)

4 stars. Building up for the finale with backstory/filler, but I like it.

Today’s post is on Rasetsu, Vol. 7 by Chika Shiomi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the chief and Rasetsu on it. As it is the seventh in the series you need to have read the first six volumes from this series. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main characters, moving as the story needs. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Yako comes to grips with his feelings for Rasetsu and gives her mixed signals. Meanwhile, Kuryu and Yako visit the site where their boss fought the evil spirit that will eventually claim Rasetsu… but Kuryu suddenly attacks Yako!
Review- Yako is finally dealing with his feelings for Rasetsu. But we are starting to get a real idea about the monster that is hunting her and how powerful it is. The chief of the group has been a mysterious character, but in this volume we see his and Kuryu’s past. When he was young, the chief overestimated his power and attracted the attention of the powerful evil spirit and people died from it. Kuryu is getting desperate to protect Rasetsu from the bad guy that he is willing to take powers from others. I am getting worried about him and what is going to happen to him in the end. Only two more volumes and I am curious about how all this is going to wrap up.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+ This series knows how to nail an ending to bring you running for the next volume. Damn.
I actually felt bad for Kuryu for a good chunk of this book. I expected my first emoji to be this: ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡ But then he went back into normal Kuryu mode and I cringed. He's 26? I thought an earlier volume pegged him at 22. I mean, it's only a 6 1/2 year age gap, which is far better than most (all?) age gap romance, but he's always like *on her* and that's just weird. And Chief is younger?? w(°ｏ°)w

I like AND dislike that I can’t yet figure out how all of this is going to end.

Not going to lie, this volume kind of shocked me. And I mean this kind of shocked:
Like I saw this coming, but I..just didn't want to believe it.
Like just, just WHATTHEEFFIGOINGON?
Kuryu?
I will be strong. I will be strong.
Okay, not so much.
Things are going to go so crazy in the next volume aren't they?
5/5

I have to get a hold of the next books!!!!!
This one was just getting interesting since Rasetsu's 20th birthday is almost up. What will happen? Will she and Yako ever get together? Or the fact the I think Kuryu is the demon, will that stop them? Man so many questions.
I'm happy to have read the five (3,4,5,6,7) books today. I just couldn't put the books down. Too interesting. Yet, its still creeps me out.

Kuryu and Yako really get in each other's way here, Kuryu's nature becoming ever clearer. I loved the lenghty flashback to the way and time that Kuryu came to live with Hiichiro and his father. It not only explains why Hiichiro acts as he does now, but really makes the reader feel sympathy for Kuryu's situation. This takes up most of the volume - except for the last chapter where Yako and Rasetsu finally talk to each other directly, delicious ^^.
