DEVIL AND HER LOVE SONG 06

the item is great, thank you

This is by far my favorite manga of the year! They psychological aspect is a rather unexpected complement to the romance and drama happening throughout. I can't recommend this manga anymore than I do now. And just to say, I'm voting for Shin! :)

Since the first volume, I found A Devil and Her Love Song refreshing and different from most shoujo, and it's still entertaining. There is quite a bit of drama in this latest entry. Maria has realized and confessed her feelings for Shin, and her "old friend" Anna has also admitted to her that she likes Shin. This definitely seems like your typical shoujo love triangle, akin to Peach Girl , for example, but there are some more interesting elements at play. Anna tells Shin a horrifying tale of Maria's past, alleging that being in love will awaken her to the truth of these long-repressed memories. Whether this is true or merely a ploy to dissuade Shin from Maria and get him for herself is as yet unknown. Shin, however, is not oblivious to this question (thank goodness, that would have been predictable) and is determined to find out the truth of the matter. Pleasantly, this reminds me of the older gem, Mars , albeit with a very different heroine. The exposition of Maria and Anna's relationship is paced just right. I enjoyed the revelations quite a bit, and a gut-wrenching scene toward the end had me nearly in tears and thinking that their relationship would be changed forever and/or possibly recover. Yusuke also has a very interesting scene, even if he and Tomoyo take a backseat to Shin and Anna this volume. The art is beautiful as always. Truly, every volume is a pleasure to look at, and I find myself ogling the chapter title pages for several minutes (and wishing they were in color!). I really hope Viz releases a Miyoshi Tomori artbook! The one negative I have about this volume, and the current story arc in general, is that it is relying heavily on misunderstandings. The "misunderstanding" plot device is overused, predictable, and detracts from an otherwise novel story. In my opinion, any conflict that can be resolved by two characters speaking frankly to each other for a minute is not all that it could be. Maybe I am just tired of seeing this device over and over again in shoujo, so it could just be my personal bias, but I know many others are tired of it as well, so I am letting you know what to expect. It won't, however, stop me from seeing this otherwise interesting series through. The ending cliffhanger has me anxiously awaiting the next volume, as Shin heads to St. Katria for some answers. A Devil and Her Love Song #7 is coming out on February 5, 2013.
