The outline of the original work is actually very simple. It tells the story of an ordinary high school student, Fumei, who obtained the "Devil Power" and then turned into a "Devil Man", and joined forces with his friend Asuka to fight against the ancient earth creature "Devil Race". In the framework of this story, and the original work is only 5 volumes (these 5 volumes cover the story of Fudo Akira's transformation from being a demon to the world-destroying war between the two enemies, the descendant "Parasitic Beast" with a similar plot is a city's The story is drawn in 10 volumes), in all supporting roles, including the portrayal of the heroine, Nagai Hao can be said to have taken it all in one stroke. Although it is not fair to judge the works of that era with the eyes of modern aesthetics, I still feel that this is a relatively big flaw of the original work. Crybaby is different. Under the protection of the original two male protagonists, the presence of the heroine Miki Maki has been greatly strengthened. From the careless and somewhat frivolous image in the original work, she has completely transformed into a calm, strong, kind and courageous girl in this work.
In the film, she is a person who is not good at rejecting others and always thinks the good side of others. Even if she faces some rude reminders from her childhood sweetheart Fuming, she will scold him for being rude. When Fu Ming gained the power of the devil and became different day by day, although she noticed the clue, she always believed that Ming was secretly protecting her. And when the existence of the devil was exposed, her family died because of it, and her true identity was revealed, so she became an enemy to the whole world, she still chose to open her hands to embrace the man who once stood in front of her, and for the sake of The boy whose family was crying. When Fudashi was deeply misunderstood by everyone, he was willing to risk his life to speak out to the world for his maliciousness on the Internet. Because she believed him. In the animation, there is a story in which Fu Ming, after his identity was exposed, blocked in front of the perpetrators who were also human in order to rescue the innocent human beings who were framed as demons. As Miki narrated the words she wrote for Ming at home, among the perpetrators present, a child walked out of the crowd first and hugged the demon who stood there, crying and did not resist, and then hugged. People who do not know are also a group of children. Children are synonymous with innocence in this animation. Innocence means simplicity and kindness, but also means being used by others and being guided by the mistakes around you. But the role of Miki Maki can be said to be the ultimate, uncontaminated innocence. It is precisely because of this that she has become the last bottom line of Fudaki as a "person". Fudaki once said to himself, "I am a demon, and I will never kill." But when he faced the tragic death of Miki, he shouted sadly: "You are the devil", killing all the murderers present, but Fu Ming and these atrocities, who are the devils?
