Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell Volume One

The girl of your dreams barely knows you exist. Your friends can’t help. Your family is clueless. So where do you turn for love advice? Who can provide you with that essential assistance for the lovelorn? If you’re an average everyday teenager like Paul, you summon a powerful demon from the deep recesses of Hell, and frankly, hope for the best.

The demon in question is the Great Duke Astaroth, ruler of thirty legions of bloodthirsty hell creatures, powerful enough to raze cities to the ground. And now he finds himself on the mortal plane, compelled…to give a hapless kid dating advice?

In summoning Astaroth, Paul has set off a chaotic series of events. The Great Duke of Hell stands ready to claim Paul’s soul in less than a week, no matter how silly their bargain. Paul’s magic accidentally alerted the agents of the Holy Order, a group dedicated to protecting the world from the forces of evil, that something infernal is afoot. Paul’s sister Juliet, flabbergasted to find a demon in her home, has run away to hire an exorcist.

Plus, Paul’s dad is hiding something. And so is Elena, the object of all of Paul’s affection and the reason for all his complicated scheming.

But who ever said true love was easy?

This volume collects Season 1, Part 1 of the WEBTOON comic Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell.

Summary:

Paul isn’t the best at reading people. What he is good at is magic, sort of. So he’s decided to go above and beyond in getting romantic advice - by summoning the Great Duke of Hell.

Naturally, this sets off a series of events that nobody, especially Paul, could have predicted. It turns out that almost everyone in his life has a secret to hide, and he is about to kick them all up to the surface.

Review:

Let me start by saying that pretty much none of Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell went the way I expected, and I love that. This series is so quirky and so much fun; I’m lucky to have had the chance to read it.

Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell Vol. 1 is an interesting introduction to the world. It has that strong webcomic vibe (where it knows it has more time to introduce readers). That said, things quickly take a turn once the foundation is there. None of the characters act as expected—or really are who they say they are if you want to get right down to it. I’m hooked.

I do wish the artwork was more like the cover, as that was part of what drew me in. The artwork for this series is a bit rougher, but I didn’t hate it. This was just one of those times when I really wanted the art I was promised, you know?

Long story short, this series was worth checking out. If you’re curious, it might be worth hopping over to Webtoon to peek!
