A compilation of differents artist's works on the Devilman universe. These stories are not canon nor important to the series, so you can read them whenever you want (of course, first having read the original Devilman).
Most of the little stories presented in this compilation are either unintelligible, boring or down right bad.
While this is a fast read (only 18 chapters) I would only reccommend this to Devilman Fanatics, and even for them this one should be hard to swallow. Bored me to death, maybe only 2 or 3 stories were interesting. There's also a few stories made by Nagai Go (the original creator ... of Devilman) so you might want to read them, they're not that great but they were made by the man himself, so... overall, unless you're a hardcore fan, avoid this. Truly a waste of time.

I guess that it goes without saying that you shouldn’t be reading this if you’re unfamiliar with Devilman. Even more, anthologies like this are for fans of the franchises, if you didn’t like the original Devilman, don’t expect to like this. After all, it is just a collection of short stories of different “remakes” or “what-ifs” of the story of Devilman.

As the stories are short, unrelated to each other beyond the theme, and more importantly – greatly wary in style, reading this felt similar to visiting an exhibition. And it was certainly an interesting experience. There are stories with full colored gritty art, there are ... more easy-going stories with art close to the original manga, the variety is satisfying.

I would recommend this to any fan of Devilman who is looking for more content, even more so if your favourite author happened to partake in this anthology as you could explore their vision of the franchise.
