This book is better in most ways than the previous two. There are stakes that seem more real, demons become more nuanced, and the relationship between the chickens is slightly more deepened.

There’s still some cringe stuff too, though. In the first volume there’s a demon that appears to be cross dressing and it’s weirdly shamed and killed, there’s humour revolving around the rooster fighter and wanting to jump every chicken he sees, which goes into weird sexual assault territory that always ends up being skirted because they’re animals, trying to keep some anthromorphization and shirk other aspects. It’s clearly very silly off the jump. A rooster that fights demons where humans seem to do nothing at all, but it’s still mostly just fun at it’s very best, and nothing more than that. Why it makes peoples’ top manga of all time, kind of makes me unenthusiastic to check out more from those lists, tbh.
