Summary
Issei Hyoudou is on a date with new girlfriend Yuuma Amano, when she suddenly asks him whether she can kill him. Amano (reavealing herself as a Fallen Angel) suddenly sprouts large black wings and impales him with an aerial spear attack, blaming his imminent death on the risk the Sacred Relic within him poses. He then mentally calls out to a beautiful girl (Rias Gremory) who saves his life. A few days later, he is woken up by his alarm, when he notes his sudden bursts of strength at night & spikes of pain during daylight hours. Issei is shown to be a perverted individual who attends Kuoh Academy, a private all-girls school recently turned co-ed with a high girls-to-boys ratio. Despite his hopes to create a harem at the school, his popularity is near-zero with the girls in his class. His popularity not helped by his two friends Motohama & Matsuda who regulary watch pornography together and discuss it in public, to the disgust of their classmates.

When Issei's friends notice his downcast attitude, they ask him about his girlfriend "delusion", having no memory of Issei's date with Amano. Issei and the boys notice schoolgirls swarming around Rias, a popular third-year student. When Matsuda gives Issei a rare adult video to watch, they go home and watch it together. When he goes home that day, a blond male Fallen Angel identifies him as a "stray", chases him and impales him non-fatally in the gut with a spear. He was about to stab him again with the Light Weapon when Rias Gremory intercepted the end with her attack. When Rias declares the area as her territory, the Fallen Angel identifies himself as Dohnaseek before retreating. The next morning, Issei discovers both Rias and himself naked in his bed, to the shock of Issei's mom. Rias wakes up smiling and explains to him that she is a Devil and she is his master as he was reincarnated by her.
