I enjoyed most of it. I just think the girl on girl hate is a stupid overused trope in books and in TV, that it brings it down to a 3.5. I hate the motive, I think if it was someone else for a different reason...it would've been a 4

Wow, okay...I think I'm slowly becoming a Denji fan. Since I didn't make it 4 stars, because Denji isn't in this until the end of this volume. I think Asa is an interesting character, along with Yoru. I have a feeling I won't like Yoru but will as a villain if that makes sense.

 I love this concept, and I think the execution was well done. It kind of reminds me of the movie Cam, that came out around 2018, just instead of a cam girl, it's a twitch streamer. I also love the cover and how relatively short and fast paced it is

I have thoughts...and theories. I honestly...I wouldn't say hate, but I dislike amnesia stories. This one is fine, but it doesn't make me want to continue reading, but for the sake of my sanity...I'll continue

Thank God, I think that was a pretty unique way to...be rid of someone, especially an immortal. I love how Power is used as well, I enjoyed the art so much, along with the last volume.

Um, yeah...if Makima doesn't die, I'll literally cease to exist. I may not love Denji, but he didn't deserve that...and Power, auguhdusidhfu

 I'm really enjoying these volumes; I hope it keeps that up. Too bad to see Quanxi go, but I'm not surprised, considering this genre of manga

I can't believe how invested I am into this. I really enjoyed this volume. I really wonder what is going to happen to Makima. And let me just say...Lady Quanxi can slap me...stab me, throw me around, and I'd thank her

 By far my favorite, I loved the fight scenes way better. I'm really interested into Reze's character, and the Angel Devil's. I swear, I have a bad feeling about Aki...that something bad is going to happen to him. The ending...intrigues me
