Synopsis:
While Akamushi prepares to face the Laughing Face in one final epic showdown, he finds himself unexpectedly indisposed due to some unexpected surgery at the hands of one very deranged doctor. Is it the end for Akamushi, or does the surprise re-appearance of a certain old lady bring hope to our demonic hero and his future bride? And just who is the mysterious beautiful man with the mansion that has Akamushi's teeth set so edge? One thing is definitely for certain- Akamushi, needles of exorcism and parked cars do not mix...
Review:
This book contains chapters 24 to 29 and gives us a good idea of what might happen to Akamushi, while at the same time shocking us into the realization that this could well be the end for a character we have enjoyed reading about.
In Diabolical Dissection, a young girl is plagued by a demon who possesses a woman and man. She, it seems is lucky to have someone around who is associated with Akamushi who can fight the possessed and end the evil, but first she must trust him.
The artwork is designed to shock, but it's detailed and well-drawn, and obviously created for the older shonen market who would lap this sort of genre up of cute girls showing of their panties for the fun of it. Here there is a good blend of light and dark to the manga with the impact of fight scenes being rather dramatic and not so drawn out.
