Mortal Love

"Mortal Love" (人間のコイゴコロ) is the ninety-ninth chapter of the Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign manga series, written by Takaya Kagami and illustrated by Yamato Yamamoto.

Synopsis
Shinoa can see that Shikama Doji appears weary and taps into her love for Yu to break the chains binding her. Unsure whether this is a part of the first's plan Shinoa decides to reach out in an attempt to possess him then confirms that Shikama Doji has been weakened. After hearing Shikama Doji's thoughts to Ashera to capture Mikaela, Shinoa attempts to leave and warn the others whilst Shikama Doji proceeds to induce her to sleep.

Guren presses the squad to turn Mika into Cursed Gear. With Yu thinking it will save Mika and Shinoa he has it pointed out by Kimizuki that Guren was the one who killed Mika and that rather than saving him it would just be turning him into a tool for them to use. Kimizuki and Yoichi physically raise their previous grievances against Guren regarding what he done to their family members. Mahiru discourages Krul from intervening and Shinoa awakens to state that they are all in fact Shikama Doji's guinea pigs. Guren makes an emotional appeal that the catastrophe was his fault as he done it to resurrect Shinya and his other comrades. The squad appear in favour of Guren's plan to resurrect all of humanity.

After Shinoa reveals that Asuramaru is an enemy since Shikama Doji contacted him, Yu heads into the demon created world. Asuramaru is with Mikaela there.
