Devilman Crybaby

No one knows the real devil

Devilman Crybaby is an adaptation of the popular manganese The devilwhich goes all the way back to the 1970s. The modern series updates the vintage look but adapts the same characters and story to a modern environment. The series, in which the manganese it was based, is notoriously visorious to the point of being nihilistic.

Akira and Ryo are the main characters in history and have been friends since childhood, so it makes sense that Ryo would tell Akira that he has discovered the presence of demons. However, Akira is hosted to the demon Amon, making him the titular character, The devil.
