Succubus and Hitman Vol. 1

サキュバス&ヒットマン [Succubus and Hitman] #1

by Makoto Fukami, 深見真, Seigo Tokiya (Illustrator)

High schooler Gamou Shouya is a dead man—sort of. The real Gamou Shouya is long gone, but his body lives on, inhabited by the soul of a boy who made a pact with the succubus Armelina. In exchange for his services as her personal hitman, Armelina is helping him hunt down the people who brutally murdered him and his family. The path ahead is dark and deadly, but Shouya’s got nothing left to lose…not even his soul.

[Max Freese]

Extremely gratuitous violence and sexual content, but there's an actual halfway decent story that kept me engaged enough to finish the first volume.

undecided if i'll keep reading

[Stef]

I didn’t know what to expect going into it after grabbing it on a whim off the shelf, but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is. Quick and easy read; finished it in under an hour. Trigger warning for some, it does include violence, gore and r*pe, so may not be up everyone’s alley! Although, it does not take up a majority of the storyline so isn’t overdone. I genuinely enjoyed this manga and look forward to reading the next volume.

[Ester]

An interesting take on the demon and reaper theme that does not skimp on violence, gore, disembowelment, grotesque characters and assorted cut off human body parts.
And, surprisingly, it does not turn ecchi or does gratuitous fanservice, despite Armelina's (the succubus) skimpy outfit (in the first volume, at least).

[Ray Rappisi]

SO much better then I thought it would be. The artist is the same that drew Magical Girl Spec-Op Asuka but has been unleashed; it’s more violent with some nasty artwork and with a succubus that’s as sexy as they come. There’s a horrible back story that gives the story a solid base. I’m looking forward to future volumes.

[Zian B.]

Despite the premise, I didn’t expect certain scenes to be so gore filled and specifically the r**e scenes. While I’m interested in seeing where things go with the story and with Shouya’s quest for revenge, I’m going to read each volume very cautiously.

[Jourdy]

I really like this concept and what’s crazy is I’ve had this on my bedside table for like, 2 years I swear and I just finished it. It’s definitely on the darker content side but I feel like the co cousin is gonna be really satisfying.

[Kathryn]

Confusing beginning but got better a tale of revenge and bad people getting it but trigger warnings there is a graphic rape part and violence( gore throughout ). One scene of child getting hit with hammer but she survives and it’s not a torture scene. No animals hurt on page.

[shawn]

why am i actually genuinely enjoying this

[Saleemah]

CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VOLUME …. Omg 😍😍😍😍 get it if you haven’t already !!

[Nik Havert]

It's a fun read with an intriguing premise. The artwork is good as well.

[Priscilla “Ringo” O.]

This was an interesting read. Gonna continue with the series.

[Grace]

A cool-ish twist on the "deal with the devil" trope. Some of the anatomy is wack, but overall interesting story. I'll keep my eye on this.

TW/CW: SA, kidnapping, torture, murder, blood, gore, etc.

[Victoria Kitty]

Intriguing concept and story line, character design is beautiful and complex. It's disturbing on occasion and alluring at times. I highly suggest.

[James]

I like the idea. It would make a great campaign. The powers are ill-defined at this point but they do have potential.

[Douglas Kirk]

Was alright, not a deep story at all or deep characters, but I’m sure it’ll get better but I’m gonna hold off from diving into this series further

Ce premier tome, je peux vous dire qu’il traîne dans ma PAL depuis tellement longtemps. Mais vous connaissez les PAL à rallonge, on ne sait plus où donner de la tête! Mais j’ai vraiment décidé de changer tout ça et d’essayer de ne plus laisser traîner les mangas comme ça.. Enfin après entre ce que je dis et ce que je fais hein.. Mais bref, tout ça pour dire que j’ai enfin pris le temps de découvrir ce premier tome. quel regret de l’avoir laisser traîner.. J’ai adoré ce tome et il me tarde de découvrir la suite!

Dans ce premier tome, Shôya Gamô, un lycéen, est mort… Enfin, plus ou moins. Le véritable Shôya Gamô a quitté son enveloppe charnelle, mais son corps, lui, vit toujours. Il est habité par l’âme d’un autre garçon, qui a fait un pacte avec un succube prénommé Armelina ! En échange de ses services en tant que tueur à gages, elle l’aide à traquer ceux qui ont brutalement assassiné toute sa famille. Le chemin est long et dangereux, mais Shôya n’a plus rien à perdre… Pas même son âme.

Ohlalala mais que dire! Ce premier tome est tout simplement excellent. Une des choses que j’ai aimé, c’est le fait qu’on soit très vite lancé dans l’histoire. Les premières pages nous posent un peu les bases, histoire de ne pas être perdus. Mais ce n’est pas pour autant que l’on est submergé d’informations. Ça c’est plutôt chouette. Une fois que les bases de l’intrigue sont posées, ça envoie du lourd clairement! C’était tout simplement incroyable. J’ai adoré l’association entre Shôya et Armelina. J’aime beaucoup les histoires avec les succubes, j’avoue que ce sont des créatures fascinantes tout de même! Ici, on part sur une histoire de vengeance. Shôya, étant habité par l’âme d’un autre garçon, veut traquer ceux qui ont assassinés sa famille. Mais en même temps, il doit vivre comme étant Shôya également. Et ce n’est pas chose facile. Ce premier tome possède une bonne grosse dose d’humour, beaucoup d’actions, des scènes parfois violentes et j’en passe. Ce qui nous offre une histoire passionnante à suivre. Le duo Shôya/Armeline fonctionne tellement bien, purée j’en suis complètement fan! Je meurs d’impatience déjà de les retrouver.

Un premier tome qui démarre sur les chapeaux de roues! L’ennui n’a pas sa place dans ce manga, certainement pas. Action, mystère, humour, violence ou encore scène sexy, tout est réuni pour vous offrir un excellent moment de lecture. Ça nous donne vraiment envie de foncer découvrir les autres tomes. Tomes qui sont d’ailleurs dans ma PAL et heureusement, je meurs d’envie de suivre Shôya et Armelina et surtout découvrir ce que l’histoire nous réserve pour la suite!

[Fan of fanservice]

Blood pumping fun. Lots of brutal action tied into a story that’s still even more brutal/terrifying scenario.

Reminds me of berserk type of violence and demonic themes.

There is nudity, but very tasteful and definitely not the whole reason for series like other series(which I still like personally but this is more “mainstream” nudity?)

Volume 2 has slightly more nudity, but still just as violent and brutal.

Recommend to any fanservice fan, or any fan of berserk or violent type of anime with sad/violent revenge plot.

[Kat]

surprisingly good, for a manga that is heavy on gore/r*pe/violence etc. I’m very invested in where this is going…the action scenes especially got my blood pumping.

the succubus character is quite fun. this is one for the mature readers, but while there is fan service, it’s actually much less than I expected. there’s no scenes between the hitman and succubus. the backstory of the hitman and the guy whose body he now inhabits is pretty emotional too!

[Ashlee Benham]

Purchased as a joke. Will now be following the series as it releases.
