LatestAsuka has appeared all over the world and is forcing the world to accept her as the new child of God. Jun awakes in a place like hell and sees all of the demons trapped in a tower forged of demon bodies. Jun decides to forge her soul with the force from the Demons leaving the hell like place to face off with Asuka. A battle of Heaven and Hell begins, but who will be victorious?
The beautiful and successful supermodel Jun Fudou meets a woman named Lan Asuka, who confronts her with a werewolf monster, which she calls a devil beast. As a result, unimagined powers awaken in Jun, and she manages to defeat the monster. She, just like this werewolf, is part of the next step in human evolution: humans who can mutate into beast-like monsters and then mercilessly terrorise civilisation. Unlike the other devil beasts, however, she can retain her humanity, which is her undoing because Lan Asuka is a high-ranking employee of the government and of the “Anti-Beast Special Squad”, which wants to abuse her powers and train her to mercilessly hunt down her own species. Caught between these extremes and her weak self, the question arises: what fate will Jun meet? Will she ever be able to decide it for herself?

Transformation sequences that are gorgeous and genuinely unsettling.
Writing
Asuka's manipulation tactics deserve a psychology dissertation.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Devil Lady reimagines Go Nagai's 1972 Devilman through a explicitly female lens, trading Akira Fudo's martyrdom for Jun's negotiated survival.
The shoujo-ai elements aren't fanservice—they're structural, with Asuka's desire for Jun mirroring the state's desire to control her body.
