When I first read the title, I thought the series would go in two ways. Either in the beginning, he'd exorcise a succubus that'd keep bugging him and try to get him to fall to lust by smooshing his face in her cleavage and other such anime hygienics on the low end or the high end; he'd struggle to truly fulfill Jesus' command to love thy neighbor as yourself because he didn't know what love was. He'd meet someone to teach him through their time together. To my surprise, it was neither. This series is not for everyone; most would be horrified by what the

demons do to their primary and side characters. However, that's what I love because it lets the demon kings be irredeemable bastards that the audience is supposed to hate. Father-kun himself is also the most true-to-life teenage Christian I've ever seen in anime/manga. He's well versed in the scriptures, he sees others perform miracles and perform them himself, he KNOWs God is accurate, and even if he's not 100% sure what he should do, he knows what he shouldn't do. And yet he still sins; CH 55 perfectly embodies what St. Paul meant when he wrote, "For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice." (Romans 7:19 New King James Version). For these reasons, I recommend the series to anyone interested in Christian theology who can stomach the explicit content. I cannot wait to see what happens next as our heroes prepare for the coming fight against Sloth, and I can confidently say the only thing that could make it better is if we can see a true-to-faith appearance of Jesus.
