Akuma Kun

The manga Akuma Kun is one of Shigeru Mizuki’s representative works. A genius boy called “Akuma Kun” aims to create an ideal world where all humanity can live in happiness, with the help of the actual demon Mephisto and his minions. Since it began being published in 1963 as a rental manga, this title has been published many times with different protagonists and settings. It was adapted for film several times, and a TV anime series based on it that was broadcast in 1989 became a huge hit. This new series is set in a world 30 years after the 1989 TV anime series. Ichiro Umoregi, a boy genius who was raised by demons, investigates cases caused by demons alongside his partner, Mephisto the 3rd. Junichi Sato, who was the series director of the previous TV anime series, has been tapped as general director. Fumitoshi Oizaki will serve as series director, and Hiroshi Onogi will serve as series editor. Please look forward to a revived version of Akuma Kun for the modern era.
