""[...] a horror/superhero fusion, about a boy whose secret identity is that of a brawny muscled devil-creature. In the TV series, Devilman is basically a hero who fights a different monster in every episode. But the manga version was something much more original, much more crazy, much more Nagai."" --Jason Thompson, Anime News Network ...the art is very reminiscent of the original series without being a slave to recreating the 1970s, forming a nice mix of styles. Seven Seas' representative commented that this was a good entry to the Devilman franchise, and I'm inclined to agree with him - not only did the book leave me wanting volume two, but also curious to check out the original. --Rebecca Silverman, Anime News Network
