Chapter 1: Yuuya is going to live in the dormitory for her first year in secondary school. When she gets there, she mets all these weirdos. A girl called Emika, a mean guy called Nagisa, a nice guy called Azusa and another guy called Kon.

My Thoughts: This chapter was okay. As it was introducing everything.

Chapter 2: It Yuuya’s first day of school with everyone. Her class is with everyone too, she meets Ame which is also from the dormitory. She learns that nearly everyone in the school hates the people from the Strawberry Tree Dorm.

My Thoughts: This makes me very curious why everyone hates the people from the dorm and ONLy except for Azusa. Everyone likes him, especially the girls. This chapter is okay, I still find Azusa weird. He seems to hate Yuuya a lot. And I bet Ame and Azusa have something not told yet…

Chapter 3: Yuyya likes Azusa. Nagisa pretends to be nice to Yuuya. Later in the chapter, Yuuya challenges Nagisa on table tennis. If he wins then Yuuya will listen to what he says. If Yuuya wins, he has to tell her why he’s being so mean to her.

My Thoughts: Well, Yuuya was actually very good with table tennis, Nagisa was no match but he said “Yuuya, your bra is showing” And distracted her and he won. And in the end, they were still arguing and Nagisa says its annoying seeing her like Azusa and kissed her and Azusa passes by and saw it. I don’t get that. I can’t find any other reason why he would think it’s annoying seeing her like him, so I recon the only reason is that he likes her. But then all his actions except for the kiss makes me think he really hates her.

Chapter 4: Nagisa tells everyone that he and Yuuya are going out. Azusa says “I’ll support you” to Yuuya and she was about to give up. But Nagisa encourages her not to. Then she didn’t.

My Thoughts: Oh LOL. When you start reading this chapter you find out that Nagisa actually DIDN’T kiss her. He covered his hand, what the hell O__o and I’m quite SURE he doesn’t like her. Funny how she encouraged her.

I have currently stopped reading this manga, when I start reading again, I will update this post. Thanks for reading.

[EternalWings] thoughts on Devil’s kiss.

This is an incredibly cute one shot series on love stories. If you are a fan on romance this is the right manga for you!
There were all together 4 stories in this manga. I particularly liked the fist one, it was really nice and sweet. I guess that’s why they chose it for the title xDD
The storylines were good.
Art was great.
But i guess i didn’t like the endings, they were kinda short and leaves the reader to thik of what happened themselves.
Overall this is a great manga!! i’m sure most of you will enjoy it!

NOTE: I think there is just one more story left that is not yet translated into English, if there is a demand on it Eternal Stars will translate the last story.
