    Name: Evil Spirit (邪神)
    • JP: 異世界を渡って魂を飲み込んでいくタイプのガチな邪神やってるけど、何か質問ある?
    • I tried to turn that into understandable English. I failed miserably. The name above is the original title.

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: Nobody's translated it, and the main story is more or less complete.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Description: (Translated by @admira )
    When was it? One day, I awoke as a man-shaped monster. No, not a cute thing like a monster. A world-devouring "calamity."

    My name is "Face." (フェイス) [or Feis, Feys, Fays, etc. I just went with Face.]
    What humans call an "evil god." (邪神)

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Basic Synopsis:
    Face is an evil god who occupies a human host. If the host dies, the world is destroyed. But in order to survive, Face/the host must devour souls. At the beginning of the story, Face enters a new host, a Japanese school student named Taichi. The story spans across several years.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Similar Stories: manga Parasyte (Kiseijuu); maybe Death Note
    Series Status: Ongoing with 51 chapters (last updated 2016). As far as I'm concerned, the series could have finished at chapter 48.

    I read this story a few months back and loved it. The formatting and wording are pretty clear, and it's a SciFi/Fantasy set in modern earth setting. Warning: No harem!

    *shrugs* The original title in Japanese was "邪神" (Evil God/Evil Spirit). Think I should change the thread title to that?

    I would name him Fayze for the artistic look of the letters since the japanese only has pronunciation, not any meaning. I will skim read it to see if it is worth my time. I dont do projects, but I might do a teaser chapter 1 if I like it enough. Personally, I am a bit busy with midterms, so I can't really do anything at the moment.

    Alright, title changed from Soul-Devouring Evil God to just Evil Spirit. Thinking of a decent translation for it is someone else's job. >_<

    in a year or never, it is not very interesting to me. It is in the back of the queue.
