| I wanted to try reading Go Nagai's work, mainly the Devilman series first, so I've read both Maou Dante, Devilman and Shin Devilman. Both Maou Dante are really terrible but they're short so it was okay to read. Devilman was a bit more interesting but Shin Devilman was terrible too. But on August last year I started reading Devilman Lady and I'm suffering. The chapters are so freaking long, each one is half a volume and they're really boring, the same devil of the week every time. And there's r*pe every single chapter, I don't actually care about the inclusion of it but it's very tiring. Does it keep the formula of devil of the week or does it get better? I'm on chapter 10 right now (yeah, more than a year trying to read it and I've only read 9 chapters lmao). If it was short like Maou Dante it would be better to power through. I wanted to read everything related to Devilman so it would be a bit disappointing to drop or skip it, but is Devilman Lady worth it? Damn, is the rest of the series even worth it to read too? |

| Devilman Lady is one of Go Nagai's "envelope pushers" where he was pushing what he was allowed to publish at the time. beyond that, the series that fall under this umbrella don't stand up very well on their own. If you don't like it and aren't planning on writing a history paper about it, then don't read it. |

| Well, that's sad. I'll probably drop Devilman as a whole then, thanks for the replies |
| I enjoyed this tbh. Would say yeah if you like Nagai's art style and liked the original Devilman. |

| @Lucifrost I think I'll try reading Violence Jack and Guerrilla High before deciding if I'll drop the franchise |
