Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya

A slow burn supernatural slice of life? A concept not unheard of, but stays uncommon. First time I started reading I did not know what to expect. I mean I only knew the mangaka's work from voice overs made by amateur youtubers. And now here I am, stating with confidence that this manga is far far better than it has any right to be. Well, it may not seems "professional" at first glance. However, as the saying goes, there is more to a book than its cover. The art is quite simple. Little emphasis on the background, no crazy shading or line work. Onlyexception being when a few characters get into an amped state. in those occasions the art gets unusually detailed. Nevertheless, Zyugoya's main strength as an artist lies in style rather than detail. This signature art style is one of the most charming and recognizable I've seen in a long time. The story is very interesting. It is, as I said a slow burn supernatural slice of life. But, unlike most works that consistently follow one or a few plot lines, this one instead is a collection of short stories whom building upon each other in a chronological order. Sometimes it's just refreshing to see something that goes against the grain. Another surprise for me were the characters. They feel like real individuals with multiple personality traits and individual outlook on the world which further develops as they face and overcome the many challenges life throws at them. Since this manga is being such a slow burn, it leaves plenty of time to show in detail these challenges and how it affects the characters. Which in result makes it really authentic. Although I have a minor criticism. After the first 100 or so chapters, the genre is shifted towards a battle shounen with a clearly defined plot line. This in on itself is not a bad thing. In fact, even as a battle shounen this work stand its ground. However, those little, more personal moments where the characters helped each other weather through their worse moments, that the previous genre allowed. Were exchanged for a flashier larger scale conflict. Don't get me wrong the character writing is still chef's kiss, it is just that now it have to skid over those little nuances. Which I don't think woth the trade off.

A long journey huh? 202 chapters, 9 volumes of a demon mother life. Every chapter shows daily life of happiness, sadness, flashback, intense and peace of a demon. This greatly shows how a poorly troublesome life she had before but want to change herself at the birth of her child. I was immersed fully into the story settings. I'm quite surprised how good is the story. The plot is the main interest in this manga. The flow of the story kept rising and fall in different chapters. The rising tide of the demon nation craves power while human wants human-demon reconciliation (two side peace andlive together). Many antagonist rise to defend their demons race. I realized most of the antagonist aren't blood-thirsty cruel demons, but rather a leader who want the freedom of demons race. It's a pleasant story actually, you might get the hang of it but it's quite confusing. Characters also have each of their own special traits. She is surrounded with many friends and companions made along the way. Friends is the important thing in this story. This manga shows how a simple surrounding can change a person totally. She is freshly changed into a good mother with loving son, families and friends. I am jealous how the son is able to grow in such good place. As my last two reviews of the same author manga, the ART is still the same as usual, lewd as always. Impressive some characters can grow such huge badonkers LOL. After the reading, i am absolutely jealous how the son is constantly surrounded by huge boonkas sisters. IT SHOULD BEEN MEEE... Last, i will give this manga a solid 10/10, such impressive manga! I had say goodbye to this peak! I hope they adapt this into anime. Thank you for reading this review :). HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO READ!!!!!
