Amazon.com: Jun pursues her double career: top fashion model by day, ravening devil-woman by night. Human Alliance (HA) uses her to destroy other humans who metamorphose due to the "beast gene." At HA headquarters, she meets Jason Bates, a scientist who believes the beast transformations represent the next step in human evolution. If that's true, Jun is an unimpressive example. Despite her superpowers, she whines a lot and is developing a phobia about being looked at--a problem for a fashion model. But HA is having trouble keeping the existence of the transformations secret: a TV reporter starts to metamorphose on-camera and reporter Shiro Sakazawa is stalking Jun. The Devil Lady (a.k.a. The Devilman Lady, 1998), is a more violent, less interesting reworking of Go Nagai's Devilman (1972). (Rated 17 and older: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, nudity, sexual situations, alcohol and tobacco use, suggested lesbianism and sado-masochism) --Charles Solomon

Devilish, dark, and delicious . . .
I borrowed this volume and the first from my friend, who is also an anime fan. When I saw this, the dark atmosphere completely blew me away. It was a perfect background for the even-darker occurrences that had become a part of Jun's life since her first transformation. I also noticed that Jun was spiraling into mental instability, but who wouldn't after being forced into becoming a demonic assassin?
One of my favorite episodes in this volume was "Cat." It was my favorite because it presented ... Read More
