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.

Story – 6/10
Devilman’s story is one-of-a-kind. It can be closely separated into two parts: the first half and the second half, being both very different from each other. The first part begins with the monster of the weak trope and also serves to present the story's main characters – but where things don't quite happen, and the story is at a standstill. In the ...

Mixed Feelings
Having seen the Netflix adaptation before reading the source material, I have mixed feelings about this manga.

While it is an echoed sentiment that this is an iconic story from the past, reading it today in one sitting (my typical manga experience is binging) I find the art to be very cartoonish compared to the art style I prefer to consume with animanga which usually utilises more realistic proportions and is drawn with a technically sound artist.

The story is very primitive and leaves much to be desired, the fact that it's upheld such an impactful state in the community I was looking to be ...

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.
