* AdaptationalVillainy: Although not truly villainous, the demons are cast in more antagonistic roles in ''My Killer Romance'' than they are in ''10 Days.'' In the prologue they actively attempt to kill the protagonist by various methods rather than trying to give her one last good day before her fated death; where the ''10 Days'' cast are depicted as a somewhat dysfunctional but overall close-knit group of friends who come to care about the protagonist and regret the necessity of her death over the course of the time they spend with her, in ''My Killer Romance'' they seem generally less sympathetic to her and to the guy of the route when he inevitably rebels and tries to save her.

''10 Days With My Devil'' is a RomanceGame VisualNovel by Creator/VoltageInc for iOS and Android devices. In it, the player takes the role of a young woman who, due to an unexpected mishap, misses her fated death, and discovers in the process that she has become a loose end for the demons whose job it is to collect the souls of the dead for rebirth.
Desperate for a little more time to take care of some last important business, the protagonist bargains with the five demons who were handling her case for just ten more days. Although it means breaking the laws of demonkind, they agree - on the condition that she allow one of them to monitor her closely, both to ensure that no other demons learn about the exception and to make sure she doesn't try anything foolish.
Demons aren't allowed to fall in love with humans, lest they start trying to interfere with their fates. But a lot can happen in just ten days.
A Westernized localization of the game has also been released by Voltage's American subsidiary under the title ''My Killer Romance.''

!!The game contains examples of the following tropes:
* BlandNameProduct: "Prata" shoes, "Horshey's" chocolate, and "Crackle Jacks".
* CulturalTranslation: ''My Killer Romance'' styles the demons as "Soul Collectors" and the angels as "Reincarnation Agents." Probably not an attempt at [[{{Bowdlerize}} bowdlerization]], given that the Westernized version still makes some references to heaven and does not shy away from saying "die".
* DubNameChange: In ''My Killer Romance''. Kakeru and Meguru Kamui become Xavier and Kieran van der Belt; Satoru Kamagari is Blake Greystone; Haruhito Amano is Raphael Moreau and his dog Cerberus ("Kero-chan/Cerby") becomes "Shadow"; Shiki Kurobane becomes Leo [=deVille=]; and others.
