The premise: Betty, a devil-girl with the face of an angel and a heart of gold, falls in love with a human gangster, Danpei Kimogawa, when they meet during a rainstorm. They end up living together in Tokyo - though Danpei has trouble coping with his new in-laws, a witch and a demon, who like dropping by at inappropriate moments.
