The action takes second place to the complicated relationships of the characters in this second volume. Maron meets Chiaki's father and his fiancee - the second whom she never knew existed! Hurt and angry that Chiaki has constantly hit on her while he has a fiancee, the problem is compounded when she realizes he is also Kaito Sinbad, her rival and enemy in collecting demons.
Maron is still frustratingly 2-D - she's perfect in nearly every way, and is saved only by the sadness that haunts her, which is enhanced by the problems between Chiaki and her, and news of her parents' divorce. It's the only thing that gives her any depth. ( )
