The Demon Girl Next Door 2 (MVM Entertainment, 12) "Yuko thought that her life had been turned completely upside down when she learned that she and her entire family were demons, but it seems the universe has only begun to mess with her now horned head. For example, what's a succubus supposed to do when she challenges one of the local Magical Girls to a duel, but they misinterpret it to be an invitation to hang out instead? Then there's questions like what kind of restrictions should you put on ancestors who borrow your body? And let's not even get into the issues of proper etiquette when the other local Magical Girl moves into one's apartment complex or inheriting stupidly powerful magical artifacts! Basically, Yoko's life is going to be hell as it's just one bedeviling problem after another!"
