5/5 ⭐
Thanks to VIZ & NetGalley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.
I was very much looking forward to this webcomic to be released in print format. I had not experienced it as a webcomic so this was exciting for me. It looked so intriguing to me and I was not disappointed. I love when the norm or what is expected from the titles or descriptions and characters is not what it actually becomes and there is a different take on it. Which is the case for Devil's Candy. A universe full of devils and daemons and scientific inquiry that also touches on the importance of being true to oneself.
It was refreshing to see a graphic novel that focused on more than just a battle scene or a romance arc. It explored elements of learning to love oneself for what they have and they have the alternate strong female characters and, in the case of Kazu, a weaker male character who still managed to make himself useful and helpful. And not resentful at all at being the weaker one to the female characters.
I loved the school setting and the teachers who seem to be there but also let the students do whatever they want, which results in explosions and disasters caused by said students.
I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.
