新デビルマン (完全復刻版) [Shin Devilman (Complete Republished Version)]

Devilman (3 volumes)

by Go Nagai, Masaki Tsuji, Yasutaka Nagai

The manga is sometimes known as DEVILMAN 2 and NEO DEVILMAN. In this side-story of the DEVILMAN series, Akira and Ryo travel to different epochs and places from human history in order to stop demons from causing hate between humans and thus make humanity destroy itself. In the first chapter they meet a young Adolf Hitler, in the second the French heroine Joan of Arc, in the third the goddess Nike, in the fourth Marie Antoinette, and in the last chapter the Cheyenne and Custer. All chapters were drawn by Go Nagai, but the first chapter was written in collaboration with Masaki Tsuji, while chapters two and three were written by Hiroshi Koenji. The rest of the chapters were done by Nagai.

Reviews

[Devero · Rating 2 out of 5]

Raccolta di viaggi nel tempo in cui Devilman e Ryo affrontano demoni nel passato, racconti sostanzialmente inutili. In qualche caso anche offensivi, perché attribuire la spinta al genocidio degli ebrei da parte di Hitler a un episodio simile a quello raccontato è alquanto blasfemo e offensivo: l'umanità non ha mai avuto bisogno di demoni per quello. Idem per gli altri episodi.
Migliore il racconto che chiude il volume, col funerale alla testa di Miki, muto dall'inizio alla fine.

Really not that great of a manga series, everything is really crappy with this especially the story but the art keeps it interesting 😴😁👌

WHY is the last montage-y stretch of panels so good. And every now and then you get time slip/dimension shift panels with montages that are panelled so well.... also Ryou in this.... is ssmth

Devilman is a fantastic work; Shin Devilman is godawful

I'd been hunting for this manga all over and finally found an online version. Love the way this continues Ryo's and Akira's time together and gives interesting hints about Ryo (my favourite character).
