Bro this is something I would recommend if someone want a good cry, finished this in one night and got me sobbing TWICE. The ending at me sobbing the most, I would love to read more manga that could give me a cry like this one. The story was so good, I usually don't read this kind of genre but it definitely worth it. The art style is amazing with the story. I think this story might have gotten be addicted to this kind of stories. The little boy was so cute with the little mouse, and Akuma trying to learn how to take care ...

Preliminary (12/16 eps)

I really liked this manga a lot. 10/10 on the story and character. Like the tiny plot twist with the child's personality, I don't want to write spoilers but it's really good as it increases the enjoyment of the manga. I like how the author adds in the devil's past and everything. There aren't many characters in the manga but the ones that are there are well developed for a short manga. The manga drew me in making me want to finish it in one go. It was overall put well together.
The art is definitely a 10/10. O my gosh the art is so beautiful ...

Preliminary (12/16 eps)

A short, but impactful story that can be finished in one sitting. The art style is beautiful along with a very well crafted world that leaves you wanting more. The interaction between child and demon makes for a comedic, tragic, and emotional pair. It's a classic 'Church vs Demons' scenario that focuses on the result of a never ending hatred for each other and a little boy who who just wants their song heard.

The only flaw I can think of is certain panels 'deceiving' the reader that something will happen (that doesn't and isn't explained) and not the good kind of 'mystery' and 'wondering', but ...
