Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom is a shounen manga that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from March 2004 to December 2006. Published in North America under Viz Media's Shonen Jump Advanced label, the entire nine-volume series has been released in English. The anime and sequel manga Nora the Second have yet to be licensed.Nora is a Cerberus, a rare and powerful breed of hellhound, in the service of the Dark Liege Army. On the battlefield he's a force to be reckoned with. Off it, however, his attitude is... less than stellar. Tired of his rudeness and impulsiveness, the Dark Liege herself seals him in semi-human form and sends him to the human world, both to counter La Résistance and to get some obedience training.The designated Kid with the Leash of this tale is Magari Kazuma, a phlegmatic boy who claims to live his life by 'a strict Cost-Benefit analysis'. Initially he only agrees to fight and ratifies his 'familiar spirit' contract with Nora out of boredom, but when he discovers that one of the main bones of contention between the Dark Liege Army and the rebels is the "right" of demons to hunt and devour humans for fun, it's on.Not to be confused with the 1970s & 1980s manga & OAV of the same name.

comment
You Have Failed Me: Fall to one of his subordinates after she saves him from an attack, only to have forgotten he could've protected himself. This in more in lieu with his philosophy that "friends are worthless" which she agreed with. So of course by trying to save him, it made her look like a hypocrite.

Fantastic Racism

comment
Fantastic Racism: Interestingly, played both ways. Demons, with the exception of the Dark Liege, find humans to be either stupid, boring, ridiculous, or just tasty. Kazuma finds most demons to be stupid, boring and ridiculous all at the same time, and in some cases pleasantly flammable to boot.

Cliffhanger: The finale sees Kazuma finally freeing Nora of his contract and Nora fighting Knell who creates some kind of black hole that threatens to destroy the worlds. Nora leaps in to stop it and...that where the series ends. In Japan, the manga continue in a series called Nora the Second in which Nora is sent to an alternate world. However those reading the English translation won't know that as that series was never imported to the U.S, which just leaves the series awkwardly hanging.

Anime Hair: Nora's head looks like it was patterned after a dog's body, with 'inumimi'-shaped forelocks and a long, wild pony doggytail in the back. This is excusable in that he's a demon, but how Kazuma can be a model Student Council President and have dyed-blond streaks in his bangs is up for debate.
