Things almost go according to plan, but right before Ike can make the deadly strike, he’s knocked out by the Demon King’s retainers.

I have been getting back into reading manga and I’m still learning about a lot of the newer series. One thing I read and reviewed recently was Team Phoenix which was an interesting Osamu Tezuka crossover.
