Devils and Realist Vol. 1

Devils and Realist (which was adapted into an anime last year) follows the path of various rulers in the underworld as they try to gain the position of the next leader there. In order to do so they must be elected or selected by the descendant of Solomon, which in this case is, William Twining the lead character. Its a wonderful plot that leads to some nice magic use, great friendship and bonding of his friends in his school dorm, as well as some of the ones that come to win his favor, and even some other comedy associated with WIlliam being a realist and struggling to accept magic and this other world, and just clashing personalities or over the top moments the writer takes characters through.Its a great new manga for our English market and one that we should be glad its picked up. For people interested in action and some comedy it is a nice alternative to picking up traditional long running action series from other authors. Look into it.Extras really only included author commends, and information moments on a few characters. There is also a gorgeous colour page.

This is my favorite series and I was elated to discover that is is now being printed in English. I bought the newest volumes as soon as it comes out because it is one of the few manga I will reread and follow. The art is truly extraordinary and buy a very famous artist and the author of this series really knows how to tell a story well. I really love the cast, the magical realm of the demons and just about everything to do with this manga. The main character is also very different from other protagonists in similar magical genres in that he's a realist, which means that he believes in logic and reason rather than the supernatural. I find this series fun and very different with amazing artwork. In some respects, I would say it is almost like pandora hearts and kuroshitsuji, but meant for a much older audience. The anime is also very impressive but I enjoy the manga the most!

It's an anime as well which you have to continue by reading the manga (bought all 6, whats out so far). Like the anime the more I read the more I get drawn into the world. I love all the characters so far. There is a 2 sided coloured pages. And the oposite side of front cover and back cover there is info on 1 character. So 2 total per volume on different character. Beautiful art. The cover is not misleading of what to expect art wise. Story is great as well.

Omg okay! I accidentally found this series not long ago, and based on the description I decided to order the first two volumes to check it out if its any good. I got hooked almost immediately after a few pages! It's so funny yet interesting and intriguing!If you are a fan of supernatural settings with demons, and ghosts and mysteries then you will love this! :)Ps: I also love love love the dynamics between William and Dantalion! Everything about this looks promising!

This is the first book in the Devils and Realist series. Right now there are fifteen volumes released in this series. This was a decent manga that was a fun and light-hearted read. It’s set in Victorian England and has some supernatural elements to it.William Twining is the perfect young man; incredibly smart, incredibly good-looking, and incredibly good at everything...and he’s not afraid to brag about it. However, when he finds out his uncle has gone bankrupt and left William with absolutely nothing, things take a turn for the worse. As Willian desperately searches his estate for the money to continue his education he insead finds a secret basement room.In this basement William accidently summons the demon Dantalion...but of course William only believes in facts and science, not the supernatural, so he doesn’t take the demon’s appearance seriously at all. What follows is a hilarious caper in which multiple demons try to win William’s favor in order to get his vote to elevate each respective demon to the position of Lord of Hell.This manga is beautifully drawn and was a fun and light-hearted read. I enjoyed a lot of the characters but thought the different demons petitioning William got a bit repetitive towards the end. I enjoyed this volume but I am not sure I could read 14 more volumes of this…Overall this was a fun and well done manga. I liked it but didn’t love it. This is a series that I would have to buy (library doesn’t have it), so I am not planning on continuing it right now. However, I think fans of Black Butler would enjoy this one (although IMHO it’s not quite as good as that series).

It has a Pandora Hearts and Black Butler feel to it. While it does not surpass Pandora Hearts, it does surpass Black Butler in every way, as it has more engaging characters in it. If you enjoy demonology I would recommend getting this. It gets better as the story goes along, and I would not say to try the anime first because it leaves out a great deal of detail. Overall for volume one I give the story a 9/10 and the art 10/10. The portrayal of Gilles De Rais is also another interesting part about it, so I look forward to reading even more!

A very unique story, with stunning artwork, smart aleck characters that are fun to read about, and leaves you wanting more, But I would not recommend this for younger audiences. Also, I can see where the religious aspects could be blasphemous to some. I greatly enjoyed the story and will buy more volumes, but it may disturb some. If you did not care for stories like Black Butler or Angel Sanctuary because of subject matter, this story is not for you. If you are looking for a well thought out story line with amazing artwork I highly recommend it.

Oh jesus, this manga...MUA! I loved it! It came in perfect condition, not a wrinkle! Or a crease, well, it is new.But the story, i love it! I watched then anime first, and i had to read it! Cant wait for the second volume to be released! (The english translation of course.) Yes, you can read it online...But whats the fun in that!? Its better to have the book with you and read it whenever you want! Highly recommend this story! Its really good!

Sorry for the late review, I was enjoying the whole page of it.

Its okay, the story is okay so far. Artwork is great and so are the character designs, it had so much potential to be a shounen-ai but oh well, I'm just gonna read all the volumes till the end waiting for Dantalion to finally confess he loves William lmao. Other than that, its best to search up a little demonology regarding King Solomon and his 72 pillars before starting to read this book. The characters in the above image are Dantalion and King Solomon, left to right respectively.

wow !

Argumento:Situada en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX, la historia se centra en William Twining, un joven aristócrata con una inteligencia excepcional. Un día, luego de enterarse que su familia quebró y su tío desapareció, además de temer que el buen nombre de su familia quedase manchado, William decide volver a su hogar para buscar junto a su mayordomo algo que pueda vender y así obtener dinero pagar la matrícula de su escuela. Gracias a esa búsqueda por las dependencias familiares, ambos encuentran una habitación subterránea olvidada que alberga un sello mágico, gracias al cual William invoca sin proponérselo a un demonio, Dantalion. Dantalion le revela que es descendiente del rey Salomón y tiene la capacidad de poder elegir al próximo gobernante del Infierno. Sin embargo, William, quien se considera a sí mismo como un "realista", no cree en la existencia de los demonios y se niega a involucrarse en una lucha por el poder del infierno.La historia me parece interesante. Tomar temas bíblicos siempre me emociona :). Los demonios y ángeles presentan rasgos humanos: ambos llenos de amor, odio, envidia, dolor, inseguridades...etc.El manga presenta momentos bastante cómicos y escenas con un toque yaoi/shonen ai; nada fuerte.

great !! ☺️
