Shigeru Mizuki’s Akuma-kun which has more than one version; was first adapted as a live-action TV show which gave birth to anime TV series, and that’s how it became popular back in the 80s.

Akuma-kun Plot
Different versions of the series have different contents, but; we have tried to keep the plot simple for you. In case, you still feel confused you may ask us more about it in the comments section below.
Azuma the protagonist is a child prodigy who appears only once in ten thousand years, and his sole aim is to create a world where humans can live happily, for this plan; he completely believes that harnessing the powers of demons is necessary to achieve his dreams.
The interesting part of the series is that the demons are not only the ones mentioned in Bibles but some have been referred, from various folktales and myths. At the beginning of the story, Azuma Kun does not possess any powers of demons or powers to summon them.
He tries to summon demons using various methods but ends up failing until Dr. Fraust helps him with his magical research. Then he finally succeeds in harnessing the power of demons. Azuma Kun also receives Solomon’s flute which; gives him the power to control the demons.
Azuma Kun has multiple subordinates, and they; are referred to as the “Twelve Apostles” Yes, many of the references are of Christian origin, but; the overall story is enthralling and a must-watch.
Now, the plot and story depend on the studio and production house, how they will execute it, and whether they will make any drastic changes to the series to make it more entertaining for the viewers.
