Characters Yajin: Nozaki is an interesting yet complex character, he makes many decisions in his story based on how they will benefit him (Excluding the decision to save the student at the start). Many times you see that Yajins decisions don't always result in his success and growth, he many times makes mistakes and falls. Ps. Yajin has great Hatred towards God for what he has done to him.

Final thoughts Yajin is an isekai story never seen before, unlike other mangas from the genre Yajin Tensei isn't afraid to punish the protagonist. It gives the MC tasks and hurdles that are hard to clear and if not dealt with correctly will result in death. I highly recommend it and cannot praise it enough, this manga doesn't get much attention for some reason and that breaks my heart
