I’m disappointed that 13 Coins wasn’t better. I’m frustrated that 13 Coins wasn’t good. All the good ingredients are present. I liked the art.

Really? The Devil is a Part-Timer review
The Devil is a Part-Timer is an action-comedy. I enjoyed the action. The same can’t be said for the comedy. The background is straightforward and seems quite good.
