Updates: Tuesdays and Thursdays [if there are donations]
What's it about?
In this webcomic's world, angels and devils live together, and each one of them is expected to act their part; an angel must be good, and a devil must be bad. However, there is just one devil who refuses to conform to the norms of socitey, a devil named Diva Beelze.
Now hearing her name, you'd probably think of some bratty, spoiled, rich kid, but this girl's the opposite. She has unnatural urges to be nice and good. This poses a problem since, as I said before, angels and devils are expected to act their part, and if they don't, they will face consequences.
Because of this, their grumpy looking counselor, Mr. Virgil, who discovered her good nature and is not an angel or a devil, decided to entrust to her a magical power in a form of a wand [the one she's holding on the cover page].
An adventure ensues with her angel bestfriend, angel crush, angel arch nemisis and devil family!
My Rating:
Story
Well for my ratings, it would be divided into 2, diva as a preteen and diva as a teen.
You see, for the first half, the story felt light-hearted and absolutely cutesy and sweet. It just felt like something new and enticing to read. However, when the story suddenly switched to a new direction [like 180 degrees] it just felt like one of those generic comics with the teen angst theme. Don't get me wrong, I love teen angst and all that mumbo jumbo, but the thing is, they already had a great thing going for them and they just decided to completely change it! Though I don't totally hate the new story, I miss and prefer the old Evil Diva's plots.

This is the first ever Evil Diva art style. As you can see, it's all cutesy and sweet looking just like the story itself. I really love the art and it's what made me fell in love with the comic in the first place...

...and then Evil Diva get's a new artist! I'm sorry to say but it is not really up to par with the 1st artist's drawings, but atleast it's a bit close to the old style. But then...

| Evil Diva Art by HAI (?) [not sure on this one but it's another style change] |
...the art style just completely changes a few issues later. It isn't the worst kind of art style, but the thing is about art style changes, there is something to compare. It's either the art style becomes waaaaaay better than the last one and become more popular, or just get boring and fail to reach the standards of the first one. In this case, it was the second scenario.
I really hope this webcomic manages to turn things around... I mean this used to be my favorite. It's not just the art direction change and story change that bothered me though, it was also the new policy. Just recently, they started requiring people to donate before they release a new page or update. The fact is, it could be a good way to raise money and fund the site but at the same time, it just feels like robbing the viewers of their money [no offense]. If they want to really raise enough, they should find other ways like actually publishing printed copies or selling more evil diva merchandise.
That's all for now~! Ella blasting off~! XD
