New Romantic Comedy from Atsuhito Sakurai: "Pure Pure Devil Akumyon-san" Meets Readers
One of the beloved names of the manga world, Atsuhito Sakurai, is back with a new project that will excite his fans! The new series titled Pure Pure Devil Akumyon-san (Pyua Pyua Debiru Akumyon-san) officially began its publication in the May issue of Akita Shoten's popular magazine Bessatsu Shonen Champion, which hit the shelves on April 15th.
Our story centers around Akumyon, a very "pure" and naive demon, as the name suggests. To return to his own world, the realm of demons, Akumyon must complete a difficult task: he has to make a human man fall in love with him. However, for a "pure" demon, love games and human emotions seem to be much more complex and hilarious than he expected.
The creator of the series, Atsuhito Sakurai, is no stranger to the romantic comedy genre. Having previously signed off on highly acclaimed works such as Koisuru Yankee Girl and Boku no Kanojo wa Saikou da! (My Girlfriend is the Best!), the artist showcases his talent for reflecting sincere and fun dynamics between characters in this new series as well. Sakurai's unique drawing style and sense of humor make Pure Pure Devil Akumyon-san one of the must-follow titles of this season.
This new series offers a great alternative for manga lovers who enjoy light and fun stories blended with supernatural elements. Alongside darker or action-oriented series like Darwin's Game published under the Bessatsu Shonen Champion banner, a romantic comedy of this style will bring a breath of fresh air to the magazine. We will see together in the coming chapters how Akumyon's clumsy and equally sweet struggle for love will turn out.
