2	For years, Pam Akumachi has listened to her grandmother's stories about meeting a very kind devil earlier in life. Deciding that she wants to have a similar experience, Pam tries to summon a devil after school. The experiment goes wrong, and Pam is pulled into a world of spirits.

4	Soon after arriving in this world, she meets Linfa, an angel who looks exactly like Pam's human friend Rinka, but with a very different personality. Linfa attacks Pam but Pam is saved by a man named Remy, who tells her that the world she is in is inhabited only by spirits, angels, and devils, with humans only existing in fairy tales. This goes for Pam as well, as she has been turned into a devil trainee, a low level devil, and is told that, in order to return to her world, she must become a full-fledged devil.

44	* MeaningfulName: Pam, as she has "Akuma", Japanese for "devil" in her name.
45	* MyOwnGrampa: Played with; [[spoiler: Pam is the {{reincarnation}} of the "kind-hearted devil" her grandmother Kohaku met, the Demon King Marduk.
