i think the demon sword azudora has looks just like the hero slayer sword alicia has. the crossguard is the same. i bet azudora gave it to alicia's grandpa or something, and then he became peaceful azudora

Regarding the naming stuff, there is no "right answer" (aside from the author specifically saying he wants a particular romanization). Both "Helck" and "Cless" would use the exact same katakana used in the comic. It depends upon which syllable has emphasis. if it's the "re" in "kuresu" (and it probably is, since that's how those things usually tend to work), then it is very likely that Cless/Kless is the most "accurate" way to write it. If it were the "ku", then it could be something like "Kuress" or "Kuless" or whatever that other poster said, but that's unlikely. As for Helck/Heruku, it is also very likely that the "ruku" part just represents an "lk/lck" when romanized. Because the Japanese characters used can't be single consonants (other than "n"), all romanized names that end in consonants like that will end with a "consonant-vowel" syllable in the Japanese. I think the original post about the naming stuff is a good example of little/incomplete knowledge leading to some wrong ideas.

I find it odd that the human angel folks can psychologically deal with the pain of being killed so frequently. I guess it's just part of the spell used that forces them to be able to deal with it, because normally you would have trouble killing yourself even if you knew you would be resurrected afterwards.

Azudora is Alicia's grandpa, he was so ready to trust Helck because she wrote to him about this huge buff guy she totally had the hots for.

Guys, Ura Sunday, the magazine that publishes Helck, has a competition to vote for which of their manga will get adapted into an anime. Helck was at number 4 during the voting period when this was reported on. Now, a year later when we all know about it, can we help it get to number 1 and get adapted?

It makes sense since there's no reason why humans would've developed a sword to slay heroes.

I wonder if the new sword Helck got from the shadow warrior will come in handy.

Technically the end part of the chapter where Alicia dies is the omake to Volume 5, I think.

It got bundled together though, which was pretty fitting.

This is a really good manga. The story switched over from comedy to a more serious fantasy plotline perfectly. I really regret that I discovered this before it was finished because I really don't wait to have to play the waiting game for new chapters again. :(

And it's still got plenty of great comedy, like all the scenes involving Piuy, Asuta's principled insistence on using spy gear despite her natural abilities surpassing the spy gear's functions, and the side-characters in both the human and demon armies pointing out Edil's obvious crush on Hyura.
