Chibi Debi (Chibi Devi) is an episodic, cute, feel-good type of manga. The first couple volumes set the story and introduce the characters, the last volume wraps up what little central plot exists, and everything in between is cute baby devils doing cute baby devil things. If you want to implode with cuteness as you watch a baby devil and his human family grow up, then Chibi Debi is for you.
For anyone learning the Japanese language: This is my first manga I've read all the way through in Japanese. The language is extremely simple, much more so than more popular starter manga like Yotsuba to.

After reading, I believe Chibi Debi is a great way to get into reading manga in the Japanese language, for people who know basic Japanese.
The reason I gave Chibi Debi a 7 is because, even though it accomplishes its goal extremely well, I expected there to be a stronger central plotline based on events that occurred early on in the series. Instead, questions are left open-ended for the entire series and then explained away abruptly in the last volume. Also, some questions, or areas of the plot that could've been explored further, are kind of forgotten and ignored.
That being said, I am glad that i read Chibi Debi. I would definitely recommend it to someone learning Japanese (or not) as an easy-to-read, fun adventure, that will probably leave them feeling happy. On the other hand, if someone prefers manga with complex or well-developed central plotlines, rather than manga that are episodic and somewhat repetitive, they should look elsewhere. This is 11 volumes of babies doing baby things. It's not very deep.
