But due to Akira’s pure heart he gains the demon’s powers, memories, bravery, strength, and willingness to fight while maintaining his human consciousness. Now a creature with the body of a demon but the mind of a human, Akira swears to protect his former people against the hordes of demons that seek to destroy humanity.
