Volume 1 - is the direct aftermath of Miki death in devil man, this is the most probable scenario in this series. Akira being so broken that his mental state is destroyed and Amon takes over. I was wondering whats up with the mixed feeling about this series online but reading this makes alot of sense. The character in this first volume is solid, we see the bullies that become Akira friend perspective and how to save they, friend. They is alot more interesting dynamic going on that feels like it can be canon, however, shin devilman final chapter is the best epilogue we going to get. Satan and Akira has always been the most interesting aspect of this series and this basically the same thing applies. If you really devilman i recommend the first volume - 7/10
Volume 2-4 : this is where the problem lies we see amon backstory and he interacted with his peers. With Satan ..... However for this you just don't care, its like meh it feels like a giant filler arc in a middle of a story they is some neet things however really unnecessary in my opinion. 3/10
Volume 5-6: Well this is much better than the previous story, however, the side character and reimagining of certain events is way less impactful compared to the original source material. However it is an interesting perspective, Miki step up i would say much better, however, the images in the original series is crazy and chaotic. The art is technically much better than the original series however how Go Nagai frames a scenes, is much more artistic and has alot of dynamic panels. Still i would say this volume is okay nothing great but not bad if gives "some" answer when it comes to motiviiation. However, the biggest highlight is what Akira definition of Devilman and his group together being happy before the more disaster occurs. 5/10
Overall i recommend the first volume and maybe read 5 and 6, however, this is entirely my perspective volume 2-4 should be avoided as it just feels like filler.
