Manga Review: Demon from Afar Vol. 6

I've finished "Demon from Afar Vol. 6" by Kaori Yuki.

Product Description

At long last the final showdown is nigh

When he realizes that his erstwhile friend has become warped enough to use his own daughter as a pawn to further his own aims, Sorath resolves to fight Garan. From Kiyora, the tortured living sacrifice of the great Lord of Terror's seal to the traitorous Leice to the imprisoned Nonoha -- many fates hang in the balance as a century of resentment and intrigue comes to a head in the climactic battle at the Ziggurat, the gateway to the netherworld!

The black-magic fantasy peaks with explosive intensity in its final volume!

My Review:

When Etsurou reveals his true identity as Garan everyone is shocked especially Sorath because he thought he killed him.

I thought it was interesting there is a female character who seems to follow Etsurou around because she feels so drawn to him.

Wow has this series is very gory and gothically dark which is a good thing! The artwork is beautifully rendered and dark!

My Review:

This is one messed up viciously bloody manga which I highly recommend if you can stomach violence.

Stella is a very gentle and kind girl until she loses sanity then she turns into a viscous blood thirsty killer.  She is very close to her oldest brother and older and younger siblings.  She has a an older brother who enjoys killing people especially girls!

I can't say too much otherwise I will spoil the plot and give too much away unless you want me too!

5/5
