Sealed devils in ice are coming to occupy the human world. Akira Fudo fused with a devil named "Amon" then he becomes "Devilman" to defeat the demons who attack to the humans. Satan rules the demon corps so now a conflict called "Armageddon" happens between Satan and Devilman.

The concept of Devilman is that devils are not only equal to evil or enemy , but humans will become devils at the end of its evolution. 

Go Nagai also released "Violence Jack", "Devilman Lady". These storylines link to Devilman and each of them are also based on the original concept Devil isn't equivalent to evil.

His style of the artworks is that the character is deformed as a mix of comical and realistic looking. This approach of character design and its storyline influence a lot of later manga/animations.
