Without love, love does not exist. So there can be no sorrow.
That was what Asuka thought back then.
"When you truly understand someone, understand their needs and their beliefs, you can't help but fall in love with them. Even if that person is your enemy."
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
Fudou Akira had always believed this was the creed he should live by.
When he came across something he hated, or someone he couldn't stand, it was fine. He would simply get to know them, or let them get to know him.
Once they truly understood each other, love would be born.
He thought this way, yet went his whole life without ever truly falling in love with anyone.
And then.
That day, a god spoke to him.
A young artist in the prime of his life was summoned by the "god" of another world and given a mission: teach the great demon king, who would one day destroy humanity, what ♂ love means.
And just like that, his bright future was reset from the beginning.

Author's excited rambling:
I love Masaaki Yuasa! Director Yuasa, you'll always be my one and only! Devilman is so good, and Ayu's rare, low voice sounds amazing. So I couldn't help starting another story...
