Devilman lady is a sequel to the original 70s Devilman which is one of Nagai's best known works if not the best.
Before reading Devilman Lady I've heard rumors of it being not that well written.Well that surely kinda made me worry as I really liked Devilman and i did not want its sequel to be appalling.In the end ,during the first volumes it proved to be mediocre , it was kinda random and not things of huge importance were happening.Things get really interesting during volume 7 and after it ,when something really unexpected and shocking happens (cannot say cause it's a major spoil).

Anyways the story is pretty interesting and well written ,this time the thing that is mainly indicated is the demons' desires and way of thinking ,which is really intriguing according to my point of view at least.The story reaches its peak during volume 7 and after.I've also heard numerous people saying that the ending was awful,I would definitely not call it bad though, I firmly believe that its only disadvantage was the fact that it was a ginormous cliffhanger, but answers will be given in Devilman Saga probably so i suppose that there is no problem. 8.10

The art has been greatly improved in comparison with the original Devilman (well there is a 20 year gap between them so....), original's art was surely great ,but it was greatly inhanced in its sequel and that's a fact 8/10

The new characters the story provides are great , readers can form bonds with them quite easily ,characters from Nagai's previous works appear in Devilman Lady ,so people who have read and enjoyed Nagai's works prior to Devilman Lady will probably be as delighted as i were while reading it. 8/10

Taking the aforementioned into account, Devilman Lady is a pretty dam' nice and it should get more positive attention .Obviously it was not even close to how great the original Devilman was,however it was a great sequel for sure
