I really like how this volume goes into how complex curry is when you make it the traditional way instead of using curry powder. Though I have to be honest it is kind of weird to have that depth about the intricacies of curry in a comic like this. Also Soma is annoying lmao.

The character development, humour, and satisfying conclusion really elevated this volume. Plus Sebastian is still the G.O.A.T. of butlers.

Hmmm story about a demonic butler doing what? Oh making curry? This arc completely bored me from the last volume and bored me even more in this one.

I'm so happy for Sebastian being amazing at making curry as well as we have to sit through the whole fucking process of him making it, taste tasting, and then the competition. This white British man being better than the actual Indians lol okay.

I didn't care for the guests from India in the beginning and now they have even more overstayed their welcome omg just go home.

It was nice to slightly learn a little more about the staff but also please just fire them.

It's not that I don't like Prince Soma and Agni. Believe me Agni is one of my favorite character, especially once he's a little more developed, but I'm happy that this arc as come to end. This volume bare too many resemblance to cooking manga for my liking, but some panels were straight up gorgeous!
