So the art looks like it is from the 80s for some reason. And they chose a weird place to start like at volume 5. And the fact that kyoji was killed by zombies and not thrown into the void means they dont plan to do the next volume...
Are they trying to ruin it intentionally? Quite sad considering this is one of the best rated jp web novels

They can handwave Kyoji dieing since they never actually showed him getting killed. Personally I feel like the art looks like something out of a Shoujo...which makes sense when you consider the source.
But yeah..them starting in the middle of the story and then cutting out and moving around a lot of the story out as well makes the manga a bit confusing. But we DID also get a LN version which seems to be doing the story justice and is selling at least decently https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/春の日びより-ebook/dp/B0B214451Y/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=悪魔公女&qid=1679907958&sr=8-2

What a weird pacing

Why the f*ck did the mangaka cut out the good half of this story.... or is this just a sequelified second part?
The pacing feels all wrong becuse we haven't even been introduced to the black and gold cats, the actual main characters in the original. Instead we get an amesiac gold cat in a dumb highschool girl body with absolutely no context. This skips the whole unreincarnation arc, and makes it look like they cut out all the fantasy elements from the original.

wtf, I was like "This story seems strangely familiar" while I was reading this, I didn't realize it was skipping so much of the WN like that.

So this story seems interesting and I've heard quite a lot of good stuff about it, but before I start the WN can someone tell me if Yuzu is actually "evil" at some point. Like does her alignment sway more towards lawful.- neutral.- or chaotic-evil? I know I'm asking to be spoiled but it would help me to decide if I want to start reading right now.
technically she's considered evil, but a lot of the reason of why you root for her is that she mostly does harm against other evil dudes and rarely do good people get actually hurt cuz of her actions. so i would more say she's a true neutral/ neutral evil. a very "don't tread on me" and "i do what i want" mindset, like most japanese protags. though it's not that she's opposed to hurting innocents, it's more that she benefits more from hurting evil people than she does good. a protagonist i'd compare her to is ainz ooal gown from overlord, in that sense.

I..can't disagree, I AM still enjoying it, but I have no idea why they made the choices they did. It seems like the Japanese fans agree, because the rating for the manga isn't that great and the sales aren't the best. I'm hoping that the LN sells well enough that we get either a 1. New Manga adaption or 2. An Anime adaption that actually adapts it right
The one good thing is that the LN -does- seem to be selling pretty well, I can't find at exact metrics on it, but the LNs seem to be doing fairly well based on the amount of Amazon reviews they have gotten so it seems likely it will get picked up for an English translation.

I'd rather say chaotic neutral. Demons are quite nasty, but they are necessary for the world, and often they are just following their own desires (instinct) rather than just doing stuff for the evulz. In fact, if clear menaces for the world as a whole (ie. Not just its sentient overlords) appear, demons will immediately react to those with hostility.
The world itself has some sort of awareness, and relies on demons to purge anything that is actively corroding it. If the damage goes over its threshold, it may even decide to create a true demon lord to purge everything and start from scratch.
As a final addendum, worlds without demons also tend to not have spirits either, because both are sustained by belief. At the end of this arc, the fear of demons causes spirits to slowly re-emerge as well on that world that is implied to be an alternate Earth.

Am I tripping? Cuz I clearly remember reading the manga adaptation of Yurushia arc.
