Author's note
"Everyone has been totally buried under work lately, but the other day I had a chance to get together with Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Furuya. We had a blast! And the two days after all that fun were all-nighters working on the script. Blast."

- Takaya Kagami

"Something crazy happened to Yūichirō. How will this affect his friends in the Moon Demon Company? How will it affect Mikaela? Those are troubling questions. We can't wait to hear your reactions!"

- Yamato Yamamoto

Cover Details
Volume five's cover displays Yoichi Saotome in color while preparing to fire his Cursed Gear bow, Gekkouin. His brown hair and dark green eyes are seen, as is the black with green features uniform of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Wearing the uniform's hat where other members of his squad often don't, what could be an association with the color green is further the case on account of the coloration of his bow. Like his uniform, the large weapon is black overall with noticeable green features such as the circles on either side of the handle. The bow string shares the coloration, and notably the faded projectile that is produced begins with it, before forming into a long blackened tip. Yoichi holds his index finger out, sharing his view and the arrow's trajectory.

Seemingly located outside, the rising and ruined buildings, foliage, and wrecked stonework, is entirely tinged with light green. Yoichi is one of the only subjects shown in his natural coloration. It is in chapter 19 that Yoichi would be monitoring the area to allow Yu and Kimizuki to train with their demons. Capable of manifestation, Yoichi would easily deal with multiple incoming Horsemen of the Apocalypse that were approaching them.
