| This show has a really catchy OP song. Lily had such a graceful character debut in this first episode, at least in class. Outside of school, she's much more different. It seems they're pairing her and Masatora from the start. However, this anime seems much more goofy than a romance drama. Lily also has such a straightforward way of rejecting people. But yeah, this is rom-com although comedy is more noticable with the cast. Not expecting too much from this anime but it's a cute start. |

| This should’ve come a few years ago already tbh, but anyways, that being that, I found the intro of our main guy to be genuinely hilarious, I mean who in their right mind goes with a half bald wig on their very first day in a new school lol. The reception of his classmates feeling the weight of his made up story was… very supportive if nothing lol. Anyways, Akutsu’s act might have not lasted long enough, but he for one, already got his eyes on someone… the typical blonde beauty we see in the world of anime. Sure though, he was simping hard, but the fact that he kind of stumbled upon her just after school was the convenience we needed to get this story forward right? And if that wasn’t enough, TRUCK-KUN MADE IT TO THE PARTY AS WELL lol. We knew Akutsu was a demon from his monologues, but then that transformation, while saving Lily did make him earn some brownie points, though hey as they say, never reveal much to a person you know nothing about, but this dude did lol… all that backstory about hell and demon stuff, and his plans just to see a surprise himself… … Lily being an angel herself, the sworn enemy at that, did nothing… but made him a pet, a domesticated pet of hers lol. She even has the collar! Such bad luck, he thought he’d find himself a girl but is a slave of Lily now. Can’t lie, this was a good fun start. One of the better ones we saw this season, I mean seeing the standards so far lol. Fine OP and ED ig. |

| i enjoyed this first episode it was funny |
| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
| Well, that was definitely an interesting way to kick things off. To resist the onslaught from the heavenly realm and save the demon world, the charismatic demon Masatora Akutsu scouts for talented individuals in the human realm. Concealing his true identity, he transfers to a certain high school, where he encounters the lovely beauty, Lily Amane. Could she be the "human" who can save the demon world? With that in mind, Akutsu attempts to recruit Lily, but here comes the unexpected celestial twist—turns out, she's his arch-nemesis, an angel, and she's dead set on reforming his demonic ways. It's got an interesting start, I guess. There's this serious vibe beneath all the comedy, which makes it more engaging. The humor itself managed to get a good laugh out of me. The whole heaven vs hell and demons seeming cooler than angels is a bit overdone, but I'm into that kind of stuff. The female main character is honestly one of the most detestable I've seen in a while. But who knows, maybe the anime is setting us up for a turnaround, with the male main character putting her in her place? That wouldn't be too bad. It's pretty fun, I'll stick around to watch. I already have a feeling the romance won't go anywhere until the very end; it feels like that kind of series. But hey, let's see how it plays out. |
 |
| The second male MC enslaved this year. School setting and celestial conflict, pair with good animations and playful tone creates fun and wonderful experience. Definitely gonna have a blast watching this series to the end.  |
| I hear Iroha every time she says gommenasai lol. I guess it was okay-ish for a first episode, don't really get what tone is supposed to be here. Weird mix of comedy and seriousness. Another Slave in the same season! |
| So who's the real demon here lol? Was obvious how Lily's character was gonna be and her having Ayaneru's voice just made it even more obvious but that was quite amusing. She literally put a collar on him, poor guy. She's really cute though so I can see why he fell for her. Also that hair part actually cracked me up. Good start, OP/ED were both okay. Looking forward to more. Should be a fun watch. |
 |
| So we got Akogarete, Mato Seihei, and now this too, what's with all the BDSM this season lol |
  |
| Really enjoyed this I can tell that this will be a great show to watch |
| Neither the 'fool' nor the 'devil' are the one you think in this hilarious opening. I had a great time watching this, lots of little twists and unexpected things for me, and by the end of the episode I felt like I was watching a very fun and interesting variation of 'Nagatoro-san' (Amane seems to have a relatively similar personality). They started on a very strange foot, but the development of their relationship in the future promises to be really amusing and probably a little bit cute too :) Overall might be my favorite opening episode this season so far, looking forward to future episodes! |
| This looks a bit tame when compared to the manga. They went the building up route. Not a bad thing but it will need a few episodes before it becomes what it's supposed to be. With that said, it's a great first episode and can't wait for the cat and dog fights. |
| His boss is Steve Jobs |
 |
| Read the first few chapters of the manga years ago and didn't like it but still gave this episode a try and I like it more than I remember when I read it. Having Ayaneru as voice actress here helps too. |
| Yeah lets go i guess? Haha this is fun! |

| Wow that character intro to the class would be one to remember all right. Though false sympathy was perhaps the wrong approach here. The insert song really did well to enhance their first encounter. Guess for Lily confessions are a everyday occurance. Dunno whether to pity Hirota's determination or applaud him. Truck Kun sure put paid to his disguise though. Still Lily really was the perfect actor in keeping her true form that low key compared to the mc. The fight between the two was pretty well executed though the mc's lack of exp really showed. Still it provided one hell of a foundation for the mc's new role change. An angel that's also a sadist really is a fresh idea for that character type. |

| Another guy enslaved this season. |
| Super funny and entertaining I loved the totally over the top inuendo when putting the collar on, I hope there's lots more of that... No surprise that the really demonic creatures are the angels. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| That was by far the most interesting transfer student introduction scene I’ve ever seen lol Ok this was not at all how I expected this show to go. Glad I went into this blind, the angels and demons being at war and Amane having such a sadistic personality was a nice surprise. I thought this was going to be like ikenaikyo mixed with Tenshi sama from the promotional stuff and it turns out it’s quite a unique story. I’m sure we’ll still get the traditional opposites attract/enemies turned lovers cliche, but the way in which they’re doing looks like it’ll be different which is all we can ask for! Surprisingly well done Sakuga in the fight scene too! Amane might look like a smol cute angel, but she might be more of a demon that anyone in hell lol. Akutsu lucky he made such a good impression on her at the start, he would’ve been a goner otherwise. Personally a mf like me is gratefully accepting my new blonde angel overlord. Chain me up please 🙏🏾 That collar scene was kinky as hell. I hope they continue to mix stuff like that with comedy and the vibes this premiere gave off. One of the best first episodes so far and I excited to see where it goes |

| I really enjoyed the comedy in this one but wonder if there's going to be some better pacing as the show progresses. This episode was a bit all over the place, but I had a good time regardless. After looking up the manga and reading a few volumes, I'm noticeably surprised how much the toned down the jokes in the anime. Too bad the production company didn't double down like Gushing Over Magical Girls did or they'd have a sure fire hit. |

| Second slave fetish anime this season... What a time to be alive. |
 |
| This might be the first show I’ve watched literally just because I liked the name of the show, usually it’s the characters or the plot which draws me in. This show is absolutely hilarious and one of the weirdest shows I’ve watched it’s definitely got potential. |
| This did make me laugh a bunch of times. Seems like the degenerate trope is indeed the current hype. Not too bad, but a drop from me regardless. |
| . |
| Not sure but I feel this will end up being dropped… Let’s see the next episode. |
 |
| Having read this and some of Azuma Sawayoshi other works, who mostly does hentai, something about the character design feels off from the original. If hentai artists are good at anything, it's drawing appealing characters and them in the anime don't feel as appealing visually to its manga counterpart. Like the eye shape or the heads sizes looking off, I'm not exactly sure but something's definitely off. They also softened up or changed some scenes that were on the more lewd side like what he was imagining when he first meets her and the scene with her on top of him while he was chained at the end was made far more tame. Let's just say she and him were enjoying themselves a lot more and her lighting the firework in the last shot made no sense. For a series that's mostly romcom, I don't think it'll effect much overall but I hope they don't over do it. |

| Looks painfully generic on the surface; but idk, this was kind of fun. Will give it at least a couple more episodes to give it a chance to prove itself. |

Well, I wasn't imagining fight scenes in this anime, I don't know why, so I really liked the surprise. The main character is very handsome and I laughed a lot at that first scene with the wig falling off. |
 |
| This show is pretty funny, enemies to lovers is always gold and the Twilight-esque moment with the truck had me hype asf! A lot of potential on this! |
 |
| show would go 10x harder with better character designs, fl should've been mommy material but alas. reducing my expectations since i only read the 1st chapter a long time ago but noticed they censored stuff. |
 |
| Another masochist show this Winter 2024 lol, angels and demons edition. |
| I didn't have high expectations for this anime, but it surprised me. Akutsu is a 16 year old high school student who is actually a demon aiming to recruit someone who can aid in the war between demons and angels. He meets Lily, a small and beautiful girl who captures everyone's attention a true angel in every sense, or rather, a literal angel. Lily and Akutsu engage in combat, which ends with Lily winning and, not just that, but also turning Akutsu into her servant. Although the story hasn't revealed much yet, I was captivated by the two protagonists and their expressions. Both the OP and the ED are good. A great start. |
 |
| Haven't seen a sadistic loli in a while. Hope we'll see her bare feet eventually. |
 |
| Ok I was not expecting for Lily to be a sadist, damn. In fact, it seems like both her and Masatora have their roles reversed with him being the "good" guy and her, well I already said it. |
| At first glance the title is misleading. The demon is the foolish one. |
| I had a good time with the first episode. Lily's debut was great. She got Akutsu good. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I've always thought this series deserved an anime and it finally came. Can't wait to see all the goofy moments animated lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
