ova/manga devilman au where there actually are no demons and ryo’s nothing more than a drug-addled, paranoid conspiracy theorist who drags akira around with him on his search for nonexistent demons, making him do shit like break into museums to steal “haunted” artifacts and perform hokey seances in graveyards to try to make contact but they’re constantly high and utterly inept and usually just end up making out in said graveyards
