A girl gives her all for love! The good guys put it all on the line against the big bad! And the mamodo competition to be king just got a whole lot gnarlier in the latest Zatch Bell!

The good guys have banded together to go up against Zofis. They storm his castle and even manage to get to the magical stone they need to destroy to break his evil hold over the humans – but it comes at a cost! Penny, the tempestuous mamodo with her love of Zatch gives up everything to save the day. But the sun hasn’t set yet! Even with the stone gone, the huge mamodo in their way isn’t letting up!

The latest volume is one huge mamodo and spell book rumble! Every team gets a chance to shine. There’s Megumi and Tia, Wonrei and Li-en, even Albert and Laila. But the biggest surprise is Zatch and Kiyo. The little mamodo with the big heart is feeling something fierce inside him – could he have discovered his Seventh Spell? You’ll find out here!

That’s not all the action and drama. Not even close. A huge duking out happens between the always cool Brago, his human Sherry, and the evil creepy dude himself – Zofis! That’s still not all! Sherry’s tracked down her best friend Koko only to find her in the clutches of Zofis’ sinister powers of manipulation. Can she save her friend and help Brago defeat the creepy mastermind too? It’s a hugely dramatic fight, lots of heart and suspense. It’s the big heart of the story that is Zatch Bell’s largest strength as a manga. The battles have a lot of action (Brago is super cool), but it’s the inspiration, hope, and all around decency of those cool good guys that win readers over. It’s all about the power of friendship. That’s a theme that never goes out of style!

IN SUMMARY:
Do the good guys beat out big bad Zofis? Will Sherry save Koko? Find out here, same manga time, same manga channel, and same manga action packed fun! Zatch Bell is action manga with heart!
