You'd think months of arguing with his ex-boyfriend/business partner would teach Izzy not to get romantically involved with people he works with.
No such luck, though. He's still dumb as rocks.

The death of Calico Jack has shaken the Demon Slayer Corps to its core. It has been a long time since one of the top six demons has been spotted, and even longer since the last time a Slayer ranking as high as Jack has fallen in battle.
With part of the Corps going rogue to avenge Jack, the rest struggles to protect their vulnerable core against Prince Ricky's strongest demons.
Because if the Republic of Pirate falls, everything will be lost.
