Summary: from Good Reads
There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life!

Sho's plans to plunge the world into chaos continue as he targets the Eight Daitengu, hoping to strip his brother Kyo of all his protectors. And now Sho has Hoki, whose secret past makes him easy prey.

Can Hoki stand up to Sho, or will his efforts to aid Kyo backfire?


Feelings:
This volume focused more on characters surrounding Kyo. I like the volumes where other characters are developed, besides Kyo, while the story arc is developed. Now that I think about it, Kyo is a static character in a lot of ways, he hasn't really changed much since the start of the series, he wants Misao and is willing to do anything to protect her and keep her for himself. That hasn't changed. It is the characters around Kyo that grow and learn from their mistakes. That is why I liked this volume and volume 12, they focused on building characters surrounding Kyo.

The story arc following the conflict between Sho and Kyo is again at the climax. It will be interesting to see what the outcome is of the conflict in the next volume. I hope I'm surprised, although I think I can predict what will happen now.
