Manga - Demon Diary Volume 2

Yesterday I finished reading the second volume of the Manga Demon Diary. I read it all at once actually, just couldn't put it down, I really enjoyed it. I found out in the beginning of the book that a different author had taken over from the author of Volume 1 because they couldn't continue any longer. This worried me a little at first. The first volume was really great, so I hoped that Volume 2 would be, with a different author. And it definitely was!

Here is a description of the story of Demon Diary (from Volume 2):

"Raenef is the black sheep of the demon court, with minimal knowledge of magic and courtly etiquette. In order to help him claim his birthright as a demon lord, the Gods send him to the wise and noble demon teacher Eclipse to be his tutor. As Raenef and Eclipse begin their journey of discovery, they find that the bonds of friendship are stronger than the teacher/student relationship."

As with Volume 1, volume 2 had quite a few comedy moments. The story can at one moment be really quite serious and the next really funny. The story blends really well from one to the other when this happens.

I'm looking forward to Volume 3 very much ^^
