I want to say Gab sorta mellows out into less of a jerk as the manga goes on, but I could be wrong. Everyone else is more or less the same.

I can't wait for the moment when Actual Satan shows up in some capacity and calls here a little wimp, and Raphi becomes depressed because her plaything broke.

Actual Satan would probably try to adopt Gab as his own daughter.

Judging by the story beats, actual Satan would probably some kind of NEET or a salaryman

Satania is finally not at the bottom of the trolling/tsukkomi ladder!

Never read the source, but I get the feeling she exists solely to be bullied by Satania.

She exists for other reasons. Raph also bullies her too, but indirectly.

Vigne and Gab are going to switch sides by the end of this show aren't they?

Gab gives zero fucks as long as her allowance is coming in as is her nature. Vigne cares a lot, but I imagine she'll inadvertently use Gab and her being a lovely angel as proof of her work to maintain her position. (Translations have only gotten up to the angels having to do a check-in, the demons haven't, but we get to see their pets)

Translations when?

That wasn't my reading. I thought she was enjoying the PTSD she inflicted; hence the turnaround/comeuppance being hilarious.

I read it as Raph being actually nice, but then enjoying Satania's obvious paranoia before getting the turnaround.

"I dropped my fork." :keke:

Even Vigne's patience has its limits, I guess.

Vigne has the potential to be a powerful demon. Just as long as humanity is ruining an event she meticulously planned. Drunk Gab is 100% adorable.

The anime's really close to where the translations have reached it looks like.

One thing I like Gab more than Umaru is that Gab basically owns up to being rotten and fallen and largely gives no shits unless there's ramifications and even then she'll try and weasel out of it if possible. She's honest about it and the series is too. She could definitely be less rotten, but the series by its nature doesn't need that kind of baggage

Umaru is almost ashamed of her other self to the point of having three mutually exclusive identities among her friends and never seems to bring up the courage to resolve it. She certainly is building up the courage towards it and that's part of her arc. That's the nature of her series.
