i've been working this idea over in my head for the past week or so
i've come up with an idea that i think would make a good manga-style story.

oz is a fallen angel living in the deepest bowels of hell. actually, he's lucifer's top assassin. i know lucifer prolly doesn't really need assassins, but i still like the concept. anyway, over the past few centuries of mindless killing and razing of cities on satan's behalf, oz is getting fed up with it. then one day he meets a young woman and falls in love with her. he's so confused. he's never been in love before, especially with a mortal. eventually lucifer gives oz the order to kill this girl (anastasia). oz refuses because he loves her. lucifer tells him that she is the reincarnation of jesus christ and if she is allowed to live the things prophesied in the book of revelations will come to pass. oz still denies the wishes of his master. oz is no longer allowed to reside with his master and is banished to earth. he soon learns that lucifer has dispatched several other fallen angels and other less desirable things that reside in satan's realm to kill anastasia. he rushes to her side and has to fight off a demon that has already broken into her home. well, he takes her away and defends her from lucifer's minions. it could be an on-going thing (several episodes, or chapters, or whatever manga thingys are called or it could just be a single book). in the meantime oz has to try to figure out if anastasia really is jesus christ or if lucifer lied to him to convince him to kill her. they also explore their love for each other. blah blah blah, and some other story concepts to make it more interesting than just mindless violence throughout the entire thing.

i'm sure you guys can think of some other things to add to this. also, please tell me if this has already been done. i haven't read much manga or seen much anime, so i don't know. i thought it sounded like it could be an interesting concept. i know it's a bit sketchy at the moment, but i don't know if i'll work much more on it though. i like coming up with ideas, but i need some kind of motivation to ever make them become reality. i'm also really not much of a writer and i'm not interested in animating a comic. i might draw oz and/or anastasia, but i don't want to draw them over and over again like i would have to in a comic.

Edit: another idea i had last night was oz and anastasia don't fall in love. anastasia is a five year old orphan and oz takes her in and becomes a father figure to her while still defending her from demons and the like.
