Story Synopsis

I, Hyoudou Issei, am a 2nd Year High schooler and my age equals the years I haven't had a girlfriend. And someone like me got a girl friend! I'm sorry buddies, I will walk the path of becoming an adult before you guys! --That's how it was supposed to be, but why did I get killed by my girl friend!?

I still haven't done anything yet! Are there no Gods in this World!?

And the person who saved me is the most beautiful girl in my school, Rias Gremory-senpai. I was told the shocking truth from her who isn't a God but a devil. "You have reincarnated into a devil! Work under me!"

By being lured by Senpai's breast and treats, my life as an reincarnated-devil began.

So the Academy Love-comedy battle fantasy starts here with just aggression and worldly desires!
