The story centers on Masatora Akutsu, a demon who descends to the human world in search of “idols” to motivate the corrupt demons and to boost their morale. He quickly finds a potential idol, Lily Amane, and recruits her. However, Lily turns out to be an angel, the natural enemy of Akutsu and the other demons! While Akutsu tries to corrupt Lily to protect himself and his clan, Lily decides to rehabilitate Akutsu for her own hidden ambitions.
In the voice comic posted on YouTube in November 2021, Masatora Akutsu and Lily Amane were played by Taku Yashiro (Tsubasa Kashiwagi in The iDOLM@STER SideM) and Kaede Hondo (Sakura Minamoto in ZOMBIE LAND SAGA), respectively.
The manga’s latest 15th volume will be available in Japan tomorrow, April 27.
