Devilman vs. Hades Vol. 3 by Go Nagai
3.0
Right away, the first thing I have to say is: Don't read this manga if you haven't read Devilman and Great Mazinger/Mazinger Z. It is a crossover manga between two of Go Nagai's works and acts as an unofficial sequel for both of the series I just mentioned. If you go and read it anyway without reading those two, you'll be spoiled for Devilman immediately. So please read those first before even considering this manga.

Now that I got that out of the way, let's get to talking about Devilman vs. Hades. I think the first two volumes are very good, but that's also because I know–and have read–Devilman before. If I hadn't, I would've had absolutely no clue what was going on or who any of the characters were. Which was how I felt later on when the Great Mazinger part of the crossover became more apparent. The story–despite me not fully understanding one of Go Nagai's works–is very interesting and I still found it enjoyable to read. The art style is very unique and beautiful, pleasing to look at even if some things in it are terrifying. (It is mature so if you can't handle gore, violence, and nudity then this manga isn't for you). All the characters–that I knew–were great and fun, and it was awesome to read about the Devilman cast all over again in this manga.
.
.
The only thing that hurt my reading experience for this manga was my lack of knowledge about Great Mazinger. If I did know it then the rating for this would've been higher. I'll give it another go once I've fully read Great Mazinger.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
