This volume answers some of the questions I was wondering about in Vol. 10. I don't know if the execution was satisfying - it was expected, but still intriguing. Especially the part where the demon's desire to coexist with humans is what was causing so much killing in the first place - it's almost as if killing (or causing conflict) is the only form of communication they know. That feels very reminiscent of oppressive, colonial, and militant political regimes that many cultures have and still are fighting to resist.
The cozier, light-hearted scenes after the big fight were really fun, but a bit disorienting as it was such a big shift in mood. The cliffhanger ending, though! Could be fun, but could also end up feeling like certain plotlines are being repeated just to fill up space. Onwards to Vol. 12 to find out.
