Akuma-kun Could If He Would. Allen finds a bit of a curiosity in Akuma-kun, the ONA sequel of an original Akuma-kun TV series, which he finds quite entertaining despite the typical tropes it can't seem to escape entirely. Well, at least we got a fun one for this week despite the lack of space. But maybe next week. See you then. -Stig Høgset.
