#Toshin Devilman

[imdevilmaaaaaaaaaaan]

Hello, Devilman fans.

Toshin Devilman has an English scanlation now.

This manga has been one of the few Devilman alliterations that does not have much information avaliable about it online and I have been curious about it for some years now. It is also one of the only adaptations that does not feature Akira Fudo, Ryo Asuka or any other past major Devilman character as the main protagonist. Instead it focuses on a new character named Kei Kamishiro.

I want to give a big thank you to trafalgarlog for translating this manga. Be sure to support trafalgarlog by checking out his website right here, you will find other manga he has translated along with a link to his Patron and Ko-Fi: https://trafalgarlog.wordpress.com/

What if Devilman is a human being?I mean the demon form as a human Which is not Akira Neither Amon (If you need some prove see on my page #humandevilman)

Right off the bat, he would be a very hungry boi.

For reals, he would probably be that jerk jock that you see at school that turns out to have really high aspirations and his attitude is a result of immense pressure

Wilfre from Devilman Grimoire seems to be a mixture of these two demons from the obscure Toshin Devilman manga.

YEaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

My stupid bugdog man who swallows 25 flies on the daily. 🥺

It is amazing that I've been able to find so many rare Devilman manga this year.

First Toshin Devilman (with a fan translation!!!) and then Devilman G and MazinSaga. (which I am counting since it does have characters from Devilman in it that play key roles.) Can someone drop the Masaru Isako and CB Chara manga as well?
