Action

The high school students Issei Hyodo tried along with two other friends from school for quite some time to find a girlfriend. However, the three rather fall on by thoughtless action and tension, so that really wants to engage a girl at school with them. But one day a student for him seems particularly interested and he can hardly believe it as soon invites him to a meeting, which he dazzled by her charm without hesitation follows. At the end of the day it is contrary to expectations from the girl unceremoniously killed after they turned out to be a fallen angel. To his own surprise he wakes up in his bed, as if it had been a dream, would not be because the beauty school, Rias Gremory, naked beside him. While she tries to calm him down at the same time as well as to bewitch and in between even surprised his mother standing in the doorway, she explains to him that he was truly killed the previous day, she clans of Gremory have revived as demon him as leader of the demons and henceforth he is part of the clan.

Rias ' group masquerades as Occult Research Club (オカルト 研究 部, Okaruto Kenkyūbu ) at the school. Likewise, he must first understand what it means to be a demon and what entail on circumstances and obligations. Only Club Issei seem to understand the first time, what happened to him, and Rias explained to him the hostile relations between demons, the fallen angels and the angels, as well as its supporters of the church. He also learned that he could even have their own servant when he try hard enough and only rising, that he sat down to our primary goal of becoming a harem king.

Despite knowing about the hostility, he learns the young, always friendly and naive nun Asia, with whom he quickly befriends despite all hostilities. Through a conspiracy of the fallen angels, Asia, however, is killed, which also Issei can not stop, even though he gave everything.

Besides, fall in love gradually all the girls in the club with him and he especially developed to Rias a deep romantic relationship. But it let the other girl not so sit it on and try their luck also always at Issei, deceiving him, which sometimes puts him in a difficult situation.
