So who do ya think is the "dog" in the title? The hottie who arrives at the end?

It could also be metaphorical and referring to the exorcist. E.g. A dog of the Church.

Fun setup, and I do love my demons. Can't wait to see her go from "All demons need to be exterminated" to "This demon needs to be kissed"

Action was pretty well paced, art is pretty good (tought i feel the backgrounds could be a little better), basic but fun premisse and i'm all in for a cool gay shonen. Big thanks for the scanlation.

Somehow, the start feels quite generic to me. The last panel is promising, but the whole exorcist vs. succubus fight felt like a paint-by-numbers action opening. It wasn't bad by any means (and the art is very good), it just wouldn't hook me on the story at all if I hadn't read the blurb first.

It's called "in medias res" and some folks, me included, much prefer it to the infodumps explaining the world and the magic system at the start of the first chapter. :-)

I bet you a donut that the girl at the balcony in the final panel is a werewolf demon.

She's gonna team up with the exorcist mc girl, who will be very angry and call her a "dog" but will have no choice but to accept her (orders of the Church and shit).

More like a succubus with an alternate form, which is a dog with horns.

I dont enjoy info dumps either but I still feel they just dump you into the middle of the story unnaturally. I prefer the world building to be gradually told. And like you've described in your comment, this chapter 1 in particular didn't even really explain anything that would give us a hint of what the real story is about so I kinda fail to see the reasoning for it here.

I feel the pacing will prob be better once it gets to what the author actually wants to write about, but yeah these sudden starts are always just so jarring for me

3 chapters were released at once in the raws, so there were enough to explain the general plot and such. It's just that the translations came out 1 by 1 so it feels a little "...that's it?"

I'm guessing this was to prevent the first chapter from being excessively long so readers don't complain about the normal chapters being short.

The red demon hiding behind the guy was also funny.

I mean this honestly -- it's quite interesting that this manhua made its protagonist so unlikeable. She might have her reasons, it appears Obsidian not only killed her adoptive father but betrayed her to do so, but right now she's basically a racist cop who doesn't even care about collateral damage lol.

Yeah, she definitely has a lot of room to grow, lol, and I can't wait to see how it happens.

I do like that they opened up on this flagrant berserker moment to have Obsidian foil it, though, because it establishes right off the bat that whoever Obsidian used to be, her post-amnesia self is undeniably a good person. Even if it takes a while for Xiao Yu to accept that, this incident isn't something she can just ignore, even if she'll absolutely try to at first.
