Seven Seas acquire two Devilman manga titles

As well as regularly ploughing the furrow of monster girls (that wasn't a euphemism, get your minds out of the gutter), manga publisher Seven Seas Entertainment have recently shown willing to acquire older, classic manga series to grant them a western release. Last Friday saw the publisher unveil two such titles, both of which live within the confines of Go Nagai's Devilman franchise.

Here's what they've nabbed:

Devilman: The Classic Collection is the original manga by Go Nagai first published in 1972, a dark tale following Akira Fudo as he harnesses the power of the demon Amon and transforms into the powerful Devilman. Devilman VS. Hades is a stand-alone sequel, continuing from the end of the original manga and following Akira’s new quest in hell–with a surprise showdown between Devilman and the legendary mecha Mazinger Z! Both series will be translated by acclaimed manga classics expert Zack Davisson.

Devilman: The Classic Collection is currently set for release as two large trim hard-cover volumes, the first of which will be released on March 6th, 2018. Meanwhile, Devilman VS. Hades will be released in single volumes commencing February 13th 2018.
