Devilman G
Devilman Grimoire, by Go Nagai and artist Rui Takatou, is one of the many retellings of the classic seinen horror manga, Devilman. However, unlike the Netflix series Devilman Crybaby, Devilman G evokes the more rounded character and monster designs from Toei Animation’s ‘70s anime. While the story by and large follows the same narrative as its other iterations, one vital change in Devilman G is the treatment of its heroine, Miki Makimura. Rather than serving as a powerless damsel in distress for Akira Fudo to rescue, Miki has powers of her own as an all-powerful witch. Another welcome re-imagining of Miki’s character is that her powers are what trigger Akira’s transformation into the demon king Amon. Let’s go, Miki.
