What the Blazes is This?
•All about Angeldevil•

•How it all began:•

I was nuts, really.

How it happened was this: In the late summer of 2004 (not long after I joined deviantART as *Agent-Elrond ) I looked around and thought "hey, there are, like, no comics with not-sexy girl-heroes in them! This sucks! I better change things."

So I made Angeldevil.

•The Story and Setting:•

The story is set in Antellonia, a fantasy world of my own creation. Though the manga explores only a tiny corner of it, geographically speaking, it also involves many of the other-reality dimensions, Faerie-lands, and even the realms of a major religion. All that being said, most of it is set in Redling, the capitol city of a country called Kyreland which, in landscape and culture, is comparable to England, and so appears (relatively) normal to our eyes.

This story is (like so many others) about a boy, but it is also (unlike the rest) about the demonic girl he finds buried under a church. It is also about fate, and how to break it; how to think in extraordinary circumstances, and the importance of being nice to elves.

•The Plan:•

At the time of this writing there are no less than fifty-three completed chapters of Angeldevil, some of which have been posted on deviantART before. Having worked on it continuously for the past four years, I have quite a bit of back-logged material. The reason I'm not posting it all at once is because it is all RAW material. That is to say: it has not been lettered or set into nice, easy-to-read pages. Not to mention, fifty-three chapters, at twenty pages a piece, makes for an intimidating pile.

So I'm going to take things slower. The account will be updated with a chapter of Angeldevil once every other Friday, starting at the beginning, and proceeding on until I catch up with myself. This will give me time to continue working on new chapters, and clean and type-set old ones for people to read.

Also, I will be taking small breaks between volumes to release all the chapters as comic books that people can buy and read in the comfort of Not-Hunched-Over-Your-Flickering-Monitor.

So that's that. I hope you enjoy your reading, and check back often to see the latest update!

What can I do with this?

All pages of Angeldevil posted on the internet will be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License, meaning I won't sue you if you upload pages to your own website or whatever just so long as you let me know and give credit.

All content and characters, however, ARE © me, that is, Grace Ogawa/*Agent-Elrond and ~AngeldevilManga, which means that if you swipe my stuff and claim it as your own you will be in deep demonic doodoo.

HOWEVER: making fanart of my characters and whatnot is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE. The only thing I ask (and it's more of a request) is that you note me if you do fanart so I can go favorite it. :3

So, this is a new account that's been made by *Agent-Elrond all for me.

I am Shakuro, and ANGELDEVIL is my story. Okay, there are some other people in it, but I'm the important one—never forget that!

Apparently *Agent-Elrond is too lazy to up-date right away, so she's asked me to type this up as a sort of place-holder. Lazybutt.

Anyway, have a nice look at the pretty painting of me that she has posted—you can even buy a print of it, if you like. Make me happy? I could set you on fire if you don't.

Just kidding.

Honestly, I'm thrilled to finally be on deviantART. Rondie, as I like to call her, has been working on my comic for years but has only posted one or two short chapters. I was starting to get really jealous of all those folks over at ~TheIronWizard. Grr.

But it's all good now. Anyway, look forward to this coming Friday, when you can start reading all about me and my adventures!

I mean, you better read, because otherwise you'll never find out who all those weird people in the painting are. I mean, purple coat? What's up with that?
