The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil (愚かな天使は悪魔と踊る, Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sawayoshi Azuma. It has been serialized in ASCII Media Works' seinen manga magazine Dengeki Maoh since June 2016, with its chapters collected into eighteen tankōbon volumes as of January 2024.

Plot[edit]

Heaven and Hell are at war with Hell at a disadvantage. The demon Masatora Akutsu goes to Earth undercover as a student planning to recruit charismatic humans to bolster the ranks and raise the morale of Hell. There, he immediately falls in love at first sight with the beautiful Lily Amane and attempts to recruit her. However, she reveals herself to be a sadistic, undercover angel who hunts demons. She defeats him and spares his life, then puts a collar on him that forces him to obey her. While he plots to break free, she plots to use him as a tool to reform Heaven, though as the story progresses, they realize their feelings for each other only grow stronger, much to Lily's embarrassment and frustration.
