>Cool, even if it was, show it, have the characters interact about it. Asa thought of Yoru as a friend and she stabbed her in the back ten times over.
Agreed, but for whatever reason, it seems Fujimoto wants to post-pone the conflict for now. I do think it'll happen but it feels like it's on ice because the rest of the story isn't where it needs to be yet.
>There is even the pressing question on why Yoru hasn't killed Asa yet, which is absolutely something Asa should/would be questioning.
It did sort of get proven early on that Yoru's probably just bluffing about that, as she didn't do anything when Asa refused to obey her multiple times. Yoru is obviously more dependent on Asa than she'd be willing to admit. She's also had a bit of build-up as a Devil who requires others' attention and is willing to create bonds even with other devils, as long as they act subservient to her.
I do agree that more of this stuff should be shown to the readers but Fujimoto seems to be hell-bent on experimenting on what he calls his "techniques" of conveying things with minimal dialogue and exposition.
