YouTube- Devil & Her Love Song [Manga AMV]

Whomever said "the truth will set you free" has never met Maria Kawai. You see, she has a tendency to be brutally honest. Because of her inability to sugar-coat her words, and her incredibly cold delivery of them, she has no friends. It isn't that she's a mean-spirited person, she simply sees mincing words as a form of lying.

Devil and Her Love Song (http://mangahut.com/manga/Akuma_to_Love_Song) (Akuma to Love Song)


After having been expelled from a private high school for "violence against a teacher", she now tries to start fresh at her new public school. But her ultimate no-spin attitude does not sit well with her new classmates. Perhaps her saving grace will be her interaction with the extroverted Yusuke and stoic Shin, who seem to be immune (for the most part) to her sharp tongue.

Besides Red River & 1/2 Prince, Akuma to Love Song is probably my best Shojou Manga that I have ever come to know. I have met allot of guys who loved this manga - even said they've bought the RAWS. This manga contains allot of controversies pertaining to arguments and psychological responses and misbehavior. [read more]

It's beyond genius; it is a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, the manga hasn't fully been scanlated yet - but I just have a feeling that the ending is going to blow my mind away. Reading mangas like these helps you to evaluate the world through others conversational objections - making you think of your life in ways worth thinking over. Each conversation or sentence contains its own scene as its own self. Some of the scenes in the manga kinda brings back memories of my past.

If you have read the xxxHolic manga, you would think that 'Kawai Maria' resembles Yuuko. I believe that Yuuko's time, as a human high school girl (if Yuuko was ever human to begin with) was the life of Kawai Maria. I'm an xxxHolic Fan as well, so I think of many weird things. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that.

The scanlation group scanlating this manga is (StarryHeaven (http://shscans.wordpress.com/))
Anyways, read it! You most definitely won't be disappointed.

AWESOME AMV to look at:

I started reading Akuma to love song a few weeks ago and I like it enough to read every chapter as soon as it is scanlated but Iīm not such a fan of it.
Actually, although I really like Kawai Mariaīs way of always saying the naked truth, her character seems quite exagerated to me and I think the psychological stuff often sounds false.
On the other side, the secondary characters are really goog, especially Shin and Tomoyo, and a few scenes are really moving.
Well, anyway, this manga is worth reading, or at least checking out.
Donīt hate me please, though I could understand that īcause, as for myself, I hate people who donīt agree with me when I think a manga is the best.

This manga is worth the read I guess.
The AMV needs more work though.

But I think the manga is very dramatic.

Shiit, static, your avatar is HOT! xD

The manga is okay, different than other cliche stories. I hope the main character never changes. :)

I have read about 14 chapters of this series long ago, and though it's shoujo, it kinda caught my attention. BUT, as expected, it died. Got boring.

Might check it out, not a fan of Shoujo tho. Btw anyone knows the name of the song of the AMV ?

The song was Amazing Grace by The Band With No Name.

I love this series because the characters aren't really like any others I've seen in mangas I've read. She really is brutally honest, but her honesty makes people see themselves as they really are and makes it easier for them to accept themselves. I would suggest it to people looking for new manga to read.

You should. At least read the 1st chapter. If it doesn't excite you, then at least you had a chance to read a good shoujo manga.

Cool. When you do, tell me if what I think about her being Yuuko's past life could be a true. (besides the magic and stuff)
This manga will be too dramatic like every shoujo always is..lol

I like her way of behavior. It keeps me attached to this manga.
If she were to run out of her mischievous ways, then i would just be damningly disappointed.

But what I don't understand is what will people hate you for?
This manga is worth the read I guess.
The AMV needs more work though.
But I think the manga is very dramatic.
Yeah, the amv needs serious work. That's my first by the way.
The manga is okay, different than other cliche stories. I hope the main character never changes. :)Same here. The main character is what gets me moving to this manga.
What should be the next manga spotlight? (besides Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, & Bleach)Until Death Do Us Part!, Achala, Peridot, No Bra, and since you didn't mention Gantz, I'll say that as well..lol
Might check it out, not a fan of Shoujo tho. Btw anyone knows the name of the song of the AMV ?You should. You don't to be all into it. Just read it to see how it ends.
The song was Amazing Grace by The Band With No Name.

She really is brutally honest, but her honesty makes people see themselves as they really are and makes it easier for them to accept themselves. I would suggest it to people looking for new manga to read.Well, she reminds of Sai (from naruto) but she more sharp and refined. She knows how to talk and when it would be effective.
lol super cool,read the manga some time ago,not a big fan of thouse kind but good,next try go mecha (red eyes,breack blade,...),vampire(hellsing,......),martial arts(history strongest disciple keniky,...) "Breack Blade"???

But yeah, we'll see what we could pull off. We are trying to put manga that isn't popular but deserves to be known.

Well, i thought it was an awesome video. You shoved a whole bunch of pictures at me pretty quick, so i really didn't notice any "bad transitions". Makes me want to do a video too, and i think i have a great idea for one.....i-got-it



By the way, have you thought about MH going dark? New bkgnd color, new banner... Well, this old one is getting... old.



Yeah I totally agree, new banner especially!
