Plot/Story

"The continuous struggle of good and evil, angel and devil respectively, still ensues and neither one of them wants to give up. The story is about a devil named Sword who has an angel rival named Io. They fight to the point that in their 101’st battle, that they severely wounded each other and both fell toward Earth. Having deep wounds but not wanting to die, Sword looks for a body to be able to possess. He somewhat finds a thoroughly, beat-up, unconscious boy thus he entered it allowing him to live.

He eventually finds out that the body he possessed is far too weak- in short a nerd. Furthermore, his rival Io also possessed a body in order to survive, unfortunately, it's the twin brother of Sword’s host which is the opposite behavior- violent. Not only that, they cannot use each of their own power!

Being opposite of their behavior's host, problems are escalating. But Sword has bigger worries, both devil and angel are after him, what will happen now? Comedy and hilariousness in one, its not your usual all-serious manga....

Characters
The characters surprised me in this series, they start off very stereotypical, but it's very interesting how they slowly change and grow to like each other over time, but it isn't until later in the story when there are more characters (Can't say more without spoiling it) do you truly see the characters shine.

Drawing Style
This manga is average for it's drawing style (Which has a very...dragonball, heavily influenced by old styled mangas) but the characters are quite crisp, easily distinguishable and the attention to details on the backgrounds can give it an edge over such manga's as weekly animes like Naruto.

Enjoyment
To be honest, at first I was put off by this Manga, seemed to be resorting to cheap humour, which I'd read much better examples of, but after the characters start to adjust to their surroundings and the storywriter gets into one of the story arcs, I found it rather compulsive to find out what happens.

Overall
A great comedy manga to read, but is not totally mindless, definately something to consider if you are bored of the main stream comedy mangas.
