Summary: His name is Kuruto Kagemitsu-a cute boy with a vengeance. The demon's name is Shuma. He was summoned, much to his surprise and likely chagrin, by that cute boy, and forced to be his servant. Their goal, one intrinsic and the other quite extrinsic, is to eliminate 71 of 72 of King Solomon's demons -- Shuma being the sole exception for obvious reasons-who are supposedly controlled by one summoner. Kuruto will show his mother he can do it.
Review: It’s still early for this one, but it kind of reminded me of “Kuroshitsuji.” You’ve got a young boy contracting w/ a demon in the same time period as “Kuroshitsuji”. At the moment, the boy seems kind of weak but I guess it doesn’t matter much if his demon will be the one fighting. I mostly like it just because of the demon he’s contracted w/. Not only is he similar to Sebastian in his ruthlessness, he’s good looking. Overall, I like the artwork. The artwork and the plot have a lot of potential. I’m really curious as to the boy’s history, and how he was able to summon Shuma in the first place.
