Plot[edit]

Miu Sakurai is a high-school girl who is ashamed of her childish features and prays every day to have an adult, sexy body. She has a secret crush on classmate, Shion Amamiya. She uses an old book she found in a mysterious shop that contain incantations that grants any wish desired. The spell summons Satan, who demands her virginity as the price of her wish of having Amamiya fall in love with her. The spell doesn't work, however, due to Amamiya's being a Christian so Satan turns himself into a high schooler named "Kai", and changes the memories of people around Miu to make them believe him to be her older brother. He also changes his crow, Malphas, into a small boy named Tsubasa to be her younger brother.

Amamiya's admirers are upset by Miu's seeming growing closer to their idol and bully her. Satan uses his powers to allow Miu to defeat her bullies. Amamiya arrives afterwards and is upset at her use of violence. Miu finally gives in to Satan's demands and agrees to give him her virginity. Satan says he will take it on the night Amamiya confesses. Along the way, Miu develops feelings for Satan. Amamiya's eventual love confession doesn't thrill her as she expected, when he embraced her to stop her from going to Satan. After school, Satan finds her in the church and begins making love to her, but is surprised to find her crying.

Amamiya, having realized who Kai really is, breaks into the church and impales Satan with a sword. It is revealed that Amamiya is actually the archangel Michael. Michael had assumed the form of Amamiya in order to wait for him. Satan mocks Michael for saying he loves Miu for justice sake, but Michael tries to say that he really does love Miu. They battle in the church, and Satan is wounded. Michael prepares to send Satan back to Hell, but as he collapses he promises to take Miu's heart with him and tells her that he loves her. Miu runs to Satan and wishes for him to stay by her side, and Satan agrees in return for her eternal love. Michael admits defeat as he can not fight true love. Alone again, Satan reverts to his human form to claim Miu, but she faints from the excitement before he could take her virginity.

In the morning, Miu wakes up to find people have forgotten her "brothers" Kai and Tsubasa. At school, she finds that Satan has now become her biology teacher, still using the same name. Tsubasa is now in her class as a high school student and assigned to protect Miu from any danger. Michael/Amamiya summons Sarah, a half angel-half demon, to Earth and tells her about Satan being in love with a human woman. She summons Satan back to hell, infuriating him. Taking Miu along, he returns to Hell. Miu is hurt to learn that Sarah is Satan's sex friend and runs away. Satan kicks Sarah out of his throne room after telling her he will not have sex with her again.

Satan has Miu found and returned. After a bath, she is taken to his bedroom where he claims her repeatedly while telling her the reason she was brought to Hell is so that he could have sex with her without anyone bothering them, Sarah furiously listens outside. When they return to Earth, Sarah follows and turns herself into a high school student at Miu's school. Michael asks her to partner with him, saying he can force Satan back to Hell, but Miu must not be harmed, which angers her because she wants to hurt Miu. While alone in a classroom, Satan attempts to seduce Miu into having sex with him. She refuses, believing it is wrong to do it in such a place. Satan offers to create a bubble around them so no one sees. Miu submits to him, but changes her mind after being nervous in hearing her classmates walking and talking through the door. Sarah spies on them behind the door and becomes angry at them. Sarah attempts to get Satan to have sex with her. Satan tore her clothes and tells her to come to him. She asks him to surround them with the bubble, making them invisible but he refuses. He toys with her and warns her that she is just a toy for display and should obey him. Jealous at how considerate Satan was toward Miu, Sarah goes to Miu and claims Satan slept with her and that Miu is just a sex friend like her. Seeing her clothes torn, Miu believes her.

Michael finds Miu crying in a class room and kisses her, which Satan sees. After smashing the windows, he leaves. Miu follows but Satan is furious and tells her that he will call the Sabbat, a gathering of demons where he used to have sex with Sarah for show, and that Miu must attend to receive her punishment. There, he calls Miu from the crowd to be his consort and begins to take her in front of the gathering. Crying, she swears she has not betrayed his love, and Satan permanently closes the Sabbat then takes her inside where he makes love to her while telling her she is "precious."

Satan asks Miu to become his wife and come to live with him in Hell, which would require her to die. He returns her to her room to think about it. Uncertain if she wants to leave her family and friends, she finds herself at the bookstore where she bought the magic book and learns that the book had been waiting for her and her meeting with Satan was fated. Miu runs out of the store to find Kai, but iron beams fall from above and kill her. Michael, having realized Sarah was behind it, arrives to find Death ready to take Miu's soul to the realm of the dead, where neither angel nor devil could reach her. He refuses to allow her soul to be taken, and uses his powers to disperse Death. Satan discovers people have now forgotten himself, Miu and Amamiya, as Michael erases Miu's and those she knew memories and takes her to Heaven to spend eternity with him.

After killing Sarah for killing Miu, Satan goes to Heaven to retrieve her. Though Michael attempts to woo her, Miu can't accept him, though she isn't sure why and what she is trying to remember. Satan arrives and as he and Michael battle, Miu's memories return and she runs to a badly injured Satan, growing wings of her owns and she covers him. Michael opens the way back to Hell for them, accepting that Miu will only be happy with Satan. When Miu yells good-bye to Michael, and calling him by his human name "Shion" before the way to Hell closes, Michael says good-bye to himself for Miu and says that she was his angel. At the end of the series, Miu leaves her life behind and joins Satan in Hell where she becomes his wife.

After making love, Miu stares out a window. Although she regrets nothing, she wonders what would become of all the people she once knew on earth. Satan appears behind her and suggest they visit earth every now and then. Just like old times. The end show a school girl telling her friends about a book she had finished reading. The plot is similar to Satan and Miu's story. The girl's friend teases her about reading such an odd tale. Miu appears and tells them a story like that can be true. The students take their seats as Satan/Kai begins his lesson.

A side story, Satanic Honey, shows Tsubasa's adventure. He is on earth, living as a teenage human to gain the disciple he needs to become a full fledged demon and become strong like his master. He meets a girl name Manami Tori, who was protecting a crow that had been shot with an air gun by some men. Tsubasa orders the men away and heals the crow's injury. He tells the crow to come visit him there if its hungry. Amazed by his healing abilities, Manami asks if he's an angel. She tells him she will come here often to see the crow and him. Tsubasa is nervous by this as he didn't mean for her to see him use his powers. He changes his mind and he realized that he could pretend to be an angel and earn her pure love as she is his type, and become stronger. Although he hates humans, since he was killed by them in his former life, he develops a soft spot for Manami. She loves birds and reveals her dream is to be able to communicate with them like he does. The crows speak to Tsubasa and tell him how much they like Manami because of her kindness. One day, the crow Manami had save before didn't come to the meeting spot and she panics. She goes to Tsubasa and hugs him, telling him she didn't want to have the feeling she had eight years ago. As she hugs him, he sees her memories. Eight years ago, she saw a dying crow and sobs beside it, praying it will go to heaven and be happy. Tsubasa realized that the dying crow was him and hugs her. He cries as he found out she had cried for him and had made him a grave. It make him wonder about his hatred for humans. He assures her that the crow is fine and he'll go search for it. Satan appears and tell him to return to Hell with him. He transforms Tsubasa into his crow form. Tsubasa believes he can go to Hell and come back quick as time is different in Hell. They are about to fly off when Manami appears. Satan realized that she can see Tsubasa and is about to erase her memories, but Tsubasa stops him. Silently, he says goodbye and that he does not deserve her love. When Tsubasa returns to earth, he does not see Manami at their meeting spot. The crow flies to him and gives him a ring. He tells Tsubasa to give it to Manami because he can tell he loves her. The crow also reveals that Manami is in the hospital. Tsubasa burst into the hospital room to see Manami smile. She tells him that she knows he's the reincarnation of the crow from eight years ago. She reveals that she can feel birds feelings and can hear his heart crying that he is sorry for deceiving her. She has a long-term illness and wish to fly away from it like birds. He promised her that although he is a demon he will become strong and fly her to heaven. She says that even if he is a demon he is her angel.

Another side story, Satanic Cohabitation, tells the story of Satan and Miu while they are living in Hell. While they are having sex in the pool, Satan tells her to never leave his side. It is dangerous in Hell and she must be where he can see her. What keeps her safe is his love for her. Exploring Satan's home alone, Miu hears the sound of something crying for help. She looks out of the window and sees an injured cat-like demon outside. She runs out and picks it up. The creature jumps out of her arms, revealing itself to be a demon man like Satan. He kidnaps her and locks her in a giant bird cage. He wants to lure Satan to him, using her as bait. He tells her that he wants to draw Satan into his territory to kill him and takeover. He wonders why Satan is infatuated and finds her frightened face arousing. When he touches her, he is repel by Satan's energy that is inside her. He vows to prove that his powers are greater and attempts to rape her. Satan appears and vows to gouge his eyes out and feed them to the demons for touching and seeing her naked flesh. The demon is surprised by Satan's stronger powers as he had though they were equally matched. Satan tells him that he simply never has to use his full powers and kills the demon. Miu runs to embrace him and apologizes for not listening to his warnings. Satan says that when they return to his palace, she was going to drink from the wine cup of vows.
