Where it came from
Akuma de Sourou, often known by its English title The Devil Does Exist, was serialized in the Japanese shōjo manga magazine Bessatsu Friend starting in the late 1990s. Authored by Takanashi Mitsuba, the series emerged during a period when shōjo manga was increasingly exploring darker, more melodramatic themes, moving away from purely lighthearted school romances toward stories featuring complex, volatile family dynamics and intense emotional arcs.
The narrative follows the turbulent life of Kayano Sugino, whose life is upended when her mother decides to remarry, introducing her to a stepbrother who happens to be the school's notorious bully. Takanashi utilized a sharp, expressive art style that captured the visceral nature of high school rivalries and budding romance, earning the series a dedicated following and eventually inspiring a live-action television adaptation in Taiwan titled Devil Beside You.
