Akuma de Soro manga Series


Genres: Drama, Shoujo, Romance

Age Rating: PG 13, light kissing stuff, light violence

Artist(s): Mitsuba Takanashi

Manga Volumes: 1 total

Volume 1: The Devil Does Exist (9 total, same titles)

Saitou Kayano, a 17-year-old schoolgirl, attempts to confess to her crush but ends up dropping her love letter in front of the most mischevious male student in the school, Edogawa Takeru, before running away in embarrassment. The title of this series, "Akuma de Soro," literally translates to "The Devil Does Exist" - and it fits very well with Takeru's character - he is definitely a tricky character to get along with as Kayano soon learns.
Takanashi adds an extra twist when the single parents of the two characters decide to get married. What begins as a strained scenario of blackmail gradually changes to a delicate relationship between two step-siblings in love.
