Summary: Dante is a demon slayer and bounty hunter with a demon haritage of his own that haunts him. He's currently unemployed--and bored to death. Opportunity knocks in th eform of a missing-child case, which his friend and manager, Enzo, offers him. But a four-million-dollar reward, an unexpected demon attack and a little girl named Alice all conspire to send Dante through the looking glass on a nightmarish adventure beyond his wildest imagination.

The art of this series is really great, and Dante's potty mouth makes it wonderful to read. Vergil's such an ass, which is more or less to be expected of him anyway. I do like how the manga goes into more specific detail about the opening of the seals and such than the game does.
