Ororon is paid a visit from his older brother Oscar, who has always envied his younger brother's power and possible desire to ascend to the throne of hell. Oscar comes to deliver a little brotherly hate - fuelled by a thirst to inflict pain, he is bent on paving the path to hell in Ororon's blood.
This really was a wonderful series. I went into it with a lot of doubt. Imagine my surprise by the time I got to the fourth book and read the near-heart breaking intro by the gentleman responsible for the English adaptation...I was hooked to the very end. And that gentleman was right. As a reader, I really was disappointed in the end. Life isn't a fairytale. Happy endings aren't always a guarantee even in a book. I lift my glass and offer a toast to Chiaki and Ororon. Anyone who has doubts, don't. I promise you will walk away feeling a strange contentment. If anything, it will offer you something to think about, beyond the normal trivial longings of day-to-day life. Enjoy.
Absolutely The Best!

When I went to the store to buy the third book, They had only one copy of vol. 4 and none of vol.3. So I picked up vol. 4 and I do not regret it at all. I understood what was going on most of the time and the power it brings forth is incredible. I bought the first volume because it had unique artwork and it seemed interesting. I was not wrong. The way the charachters interact with each other is phenominal and it is the most easy set of charachters to connect with. The story moves along with such intensity and you are left with nothing but sorrow for the people and the questions it brings forth. " Is the only death the only reason of life?"," Where does a devil go when he dies?" The only down side to the series was I was waiting for Chiaki to freak out and destroy the world or something. They say she is the savior yet all she does is cry when the one she loves suffers more than ever. But other than that, I am glad with how the story ends, And I am looking forward to the volume I skipped.
