Devil Survivor 1

As somebody who beat the game on DS then second one on DS, then the remake on 3DS...I am absolutely elated this came west. So far its pretty true to the original story and even gives you the dread and impending doom feeling the games gave you. One thing though, play the games first so the music will repeat in your mind as you're reading this manga lol

Honestly this book was not what I thought it would be.First of all I honestly expected a light novel, though this is a manga, no harm there, I love manga just as much as the next guy, but the story seemed a little bit forced, you could tell it is based off a video game, and not in a good way. Overall it is interesting and does leave you with a sense of mystery, but I feel like the story is lacking depth. It's a good book, but I wouldn't recommend it for the price I payed

Ah words can no describe how happy I am to see my favorite SMT game here as a manga and get released in English! Needless to say I'm so thrilled they kept the MC's name Kazuya. Can't wait for Volume 2!

I really love the game when it came out for the ds and I'm really LOVING the manga!I hope all the volumes get translated!!

a little broken but generally good

Good first vol!YouTube unboxing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnXJ3xyFiJw

This one star is not about the book itself but about the condition I received it, ripped and with creases! I'm really disappointed on amazon!

From back of book:What should have been a simple day out with friends turns into a mysterious disaster when powerful demonic beasts appear. Kazuya and Atsuro were supposed to meet Naoya, their enigmatic friend, but he doesn't show up and instead sends another friend, Yuzu, to meet them and give them specially modded gaming devices. It becomes apparent that Naoya has given them much more than they bargained for when demons spawn from these devices! These demons seem to be intent on killing humans, but could they actually be allies?! Kazuya and his friends must figure out what the devil is going on as the world around them inexplicably begins to fall apart!Review of Volume 1:The action picks up quickly with the three friends soon finding themselves in danger. World building is done primarily through Kazuya, Atsuro, and Yuzu discovering the situation for themselves.Although the book/series isn't perfect, I found it a great read and feel that anyone interested in this type of manga will enjoy it.Review of Devil Survivor series:Few books/series are perfect, but this Devil Survivor is very, very good. The art work is well done, consistent, and realistic even though the demons are fantasy creations. The story is based on a game, but the author provides enough information to make the main characters seem like 'real people' with realistic reactions to their situation and the events surrounding them. The ending was satisfying and reasonable.

The story was great for the first volume this manga is based on the game on the Nintendo ds and the remake on 3ds and on the last page I learned about Sega and atlus worked on the manga

(vorweg: ich habe die ersten 5 bände gelesen und beziehe mich auch auf alle davon.)Wer das Spiel gespielt hat, kennt ja die handlung. sie ist vielschichtig, spannend und einfach gut :)die frage, die sich hier gestellt hat, war wie gut sie sich als manga umsätzen lässt.meiner meinung nach ist das gut gelungen. der zeichenstil gefällt mir sehr gut. detailreich und sauber.die umsetzung der kämpfe gefällt mir auch gut. man hat hier nicht versucht, allerhand regeln und blabla zu erfinden,die die fertigkeiten der protaginisten irgendwie mit aller gewalt in der realen welt zu erklären. fertigkeiten werden per compgesetzt und benutzt. fertig. man merkt dadurch dass es ein mange zu einem rpg ist, aber das stört (zumindest mich) keineswegs.was mir am meisten gefällt ist, dass das zwischenspiel zwischen den charakteren nun sehr gut und anschulich verfolgt werden kannund nicht durch jeweils 8 graphiken abgedeckt ist.die bonusmangas am ende der jeweiligen bände sind einfach nur traumhaft und unterhaltsam. wie sieht es in der realität aus, wenn der mcimmer wieder die (in game) option wählt naoya sein geschenk in die hand zu drücken, auch wenn ihn das gar nicht interessiert?was fällt loki für blödsinn ein, wenn der mc bewusstlos neben ihm liegt etc.auch positiv zu bemerken ist, dass nicht überall die optimale route aus dem spiel gewählt wurde.es werden in der regel nicht alle leute gerettet, nur damit das manga weitergehen kann.ich kann sagen, was ich gesehen habe, hat mir vor allem als fan des spiels sehr gut gefallen.neueinsteigern würde ich empfehlen, zuerst das spiel zu spielen. man kann die mangas zwar auchohne das spiel gespielt zu haben lesen, aber es macht sicherlich sehr viel mehr spaß, wenn man es zumindest einmal durchgezockt hat :)

Devil Survivor was my favourite DS game, and Over Clocked was the only reason I bought a 3DS. I learned a manga adaptation for Devil Survivor was translated and instantly ordered it.Volume 1 covers the Day Before and a bit on 1st Day. It is a very well made manga that allows readers who never played the game to understand the story nonetheless. The nice drawings were a big bonus for me since the original Devil Survivor had very unique characters and the manga was able to bring them to life. Any Devil Survivor fans should find the manga interesting, and I think non-gamer readers will also find the Tokyo Lockdown Survival story interesting.

I was skeptic as to how Atlus would make this manga about their game.Turns out it's great. Filled with emotions (as in the first game), the despair the 3 main characters face is well made to be felt and the story is as dramatic as it originally was meant to be. The art style looks great too! Wow. The second tome isn't out yet and I already plan on purchasing it.For 12$ it's a fair deal worth every penny!Would recommend it with ease! 5/5!

As an SMT fan, not a manga collector, I’ve rather enjoyed this adaptation.
