Mad Cave Studios‘ Nakama Press imprint presents Diablomachia Vol. 1, a dark fantasy from Italian manga creator Da Hosoi. A story where friendship defies fate, and demons aren’t always what they seem…

Neve is no ordinary summoner—he calls forth demons not to terrorize humanity, but to protect them. These gentle creatures have been hunted in the underworld for their kindness, and Earth is their only refuge. But peace never lasts. Rival demons are closing in, determined to shatter Neve’s sanctuary from within. As Neve awakens strange new powers, he must confront enemies on all sides—and a truth that will upend everything he thought he knew about his mission, his demons, and himself.

Trained in Japan under legendary artists including Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hōjō, and Nobuhiko Horie, Hosoi blends the visual discipline of Japanese comics with a European storytelling sensibility, shaping a voice that feels both rooted and entirely his own.

Perfect for readers drawn to the emotional stakes and character-driven action of My Hero Academia, Diablomachia Vol. 1 offers a fresh take on the summoner mythos—where empathy is power, alliances are fragile, and nothing is as it seems.

Diablomachia Vol. 1 drops in shops August 18, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827628 | $10.99).
