Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children (真・女神転生 デビルチルドレン*)? is a manga adaptation of Devil Children Black Book & Red Book.
Release[]
The original run of the manga was released across five volumes serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Comic BomBom from 2001-2002. An updated re-release in 2013 increased the number of chapters per volume, lowering the number of volumes to 3. The new release features new cover art as well as some extra chapters, most of them being composed of author notes.
Profile[]
The manga adaptation was done by Fujii Hideaki, who later went on to create the Light & Dark manga. The story is more closely based on the original game than the anime adaptation, but there are still stark differences. The story is much more dark and violent, containing many scenes of bloodshed and gore. It is especially jarring when compared to the other, more kid-friendly versions of the story. Fujii Hideaki mentions in his author notes that he is really fond of how the manga was "traumatizing" for young readers and received the nickname of "Berserk for children."
