Synopsis

Soft-hearted Akira Fudou has always been somewhat of a pushover. When he reunites with his childhood friend, Ryou Asuka, in a fateful encounter, Ryou reveals to him the terrifying reality of his father's research: demons exist and are planning to claim possession of the earth once again.

Eager to help his friend save humanity, Akira agrees to attend Black Sabbath, a party filled with depravity and corruption, to attempt to merge with a demon. A near-death encounter causes him to unify with Amon, a demon feared amongst even his own kind. Together they form Devilman, a combination of Amon's strength and Akira's pure heart.

After uniting with Amon, Akira begins to fight against the demons with his newfound power, desperate to stop the downfall of all human civilization.

Devilman is one of the most important and compelling manga of all time and it is absolutely imperative that everyone reads it at some point. It has undeniable flaws, to the point that the story feels laughably silly at times, but this is part of Devilman's charm. Beyond its goofy exterior lies a beautiful and thoughtful story about the nature of humanity and the apocalypse.

Devilman is much more plot driven than character driven, illustrated by its small cast of characters. First is our protagonist, Devilman, a.k.a. Akira Fudou, a powerful half-demon with a human heart who wishes to protect humanity from the oncoming demon invasion. ...

I absolutely love the 80s OVA’s as well as Devilman: Crybaby. Both are fantastic in their own ways, but I had never read the manga.

I did not finish this manga and I do not intend to. I really enjoyed the anime on Netflix so I decided to read the story and it was just not good. There are some alright elements to this story but I think the likable characters are doing all of the heavy lifting. By the time I got to the end of the first volume and they were with Hitler and then with Joan of Arc I really just got sick of the story. Having the anime in mind and knowing what they did in the limited amount of episodes also makes me realize just ...
