The appeal and evaluation of "Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san."

"Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san" is a TV anime series based on the original manga by Yasuhisa Kubo, which began airing on April 8, 2011. The 13-episode series is animated by Production IG and directed by Tsutomu Mizushima. Below, we will take a closer look at the appeal and reviews of this series, as well as other related information.

Story and worldview

The story is set at the Akutagawa Detective Agency. Sakuma Rinko, a female college student who works there, helps her employer Akutagawa as an assistant and, as she completes his requests, she learns that he has a secret life as a "demon detective." One day, Akutagawa receives a request from a wife to help her husband break up his affair with his lover. Using a magic book called a grimoire, Akutagawa summons a demon from the demon world. That demon is none other than the vulgar and useless Azazel. The story depicts Sakuma's hectic days with Azazel and other unique demons.

The appeal of this work lies above all in its humor and the individuality of its characters. The demons' appearances and actions in the human world provide laughs for the viewer, but also evoke a certain sympathy. Another highlight is the development of storylines for each request, taking advantage of the detective agency setting. Each episode features a different request, and the demons' successes and failures in responding to it are depicted.
