What we know about the new manga

akuma de fukei

The new manga has a title Akuma de Fukeiwhich seems to be a pun meaning both “devil's disrespect” and “devil's protection” as “Fukei” it's written in hiragana, not kanji, so it's impossible to be sure which one would be the correct one, since they both seem to fit the plot. This is a way to make both valid.

Anyway, this is a romantic comedy set in a rural police station. The demonic “policewoman” Eclair decided to place herself in the police box and look for an evil person to become her servant. Her co-worker Daichi Kuwahara would rather send her back to the demon world. But her clumsy personality prevents him from doing so.
