If you’re a regular reader I think you probably know I’m not a fan of Comic Zero Sum stories – so why am I giving Devils and Realist 魔界王子 Devils and Realist (Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist) by TAKADONO Madoka 高殿円 and YUKIHIRO Utako 雪広うたこ a chance? I really don’t know, maybe not much out there that’s different.
The story takes place in an English boarding school about an aristocrat that has lost his money and is super ambitious and not even religious but needs the appearance of a religious background for his ambitions and demons (and eventually angels) who are basically stalking him due to who he is and about his naming the next king of hell while Lucifer slumbers. He has a sidekick that’s into the occult, seemingly for comic appeal.
There is anime out there but I’ve not seen it – so can’t comment on it. In Japan there are at least 9 volumes out and it’s ongoing. Seven Seas seems to be releasing a volume every 3 – 4 months.
