captwinghead's review against another edition

I randomly decided to check this out and it's fine. To be honest, most books centered around a heterosexual romance bore me to tears. This one had an interesting premise but that was about where it stopped for me.
I like Kangura. I loved the parents bonding with him and making him cute little outfits and a house. A lot of it was surprisingly cute. However, I just... didn't really connect to the main character all that much. I didn't quite get the appeal of the constant "should I? I shouldn't" stuff but I understand that that is a constant theme for straight romances.
Anyway, if this is your jam, you'll probably enjoy it. It was entertaining for the most part.

I read the first volume for Demon Love Spell in high school and loved it but never finished the series. Recently I reread another series by Mayu Shinjō called Akuma na Eros which is one of my old faves, so I thought why not try to finish Demon Love Spell and see if I like it just as much. The short answer is I don't like it as much as Akuma na Eros but I still kinda liked it, so let's talk about Demon Love Spell.

I love Kagura and Miko, they're well written. I also love a lot of the side characters. Mayu Shinjō's art is as beautiful as ever and it compliments some of the awesome side stories in the manga (Demon Love Spell is episodic). The plot actually fit well within a 6 volume series, sometimes this is lost in short series so it made me happy that it didn't feel so hollow.
.

I did love the scenarios that Miko and Kagura did face but they also went a little out of character for a couple of them which put me off. It also became a bit repetitive and left some interesting things unexplored. The pacing of it was not great when some unimportant qualities took more focus than the important ones that I really liked, and I wish it had been explored more.
.
.
Despite all that, I still enjoyed reading this. It was quick and it was entertaining. If you're into stories about sexy demons trying to lure a human girl, give this one a read. It's decent and enjoyable. If that's not your cup of tea it's all good but I do recommend it!
3.5/5⭐️

Very good. Cute. Funny. Light read. A bit insta-love but these books tend to be so it's not surprising.

This was very silly. The plot and main characters were very predictable, but her parents were just hilarious. That little house! Goodness.
From a professional standpoint, this would be tough to recommend at the library: the main characters are an incubus and a high schooler, for goodness' sake. I wouldn't have batted an eye reading this as a teenager, but as an adult who works with teens I can't help but cringe. (For what it's worth, I have similar feelings about the relationship dynamic in the Twilight books.) Perhaps there's a longer conversation to be had about cultural norms and expectations, but Goodreads is not the platform.
