Debby the Corsifa wa Makezugirai (Japanese: デビィ・ザ・コルシファは負けず嫌い, "Debby the Corsifa Is Emulous") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masahiro Hirakata [ja]. It was originally a one-shot published in Shueisha's Jump Giga magazine in April 2020, before being serialized in the Shōnen Jump+ service from December 2020 to March 2024. The series has been compiled into nine tankōbon volumes.

Premise

The series centers around the titular Debby the Corsifa, the strongest devil in history. Realizing that no demon can possibly match her in a fight, she decides to alleviate her boredom by traveling to Earth and killing some humans. Coming across high school student Sugo Rokurou, she explains that she wants nothing more but a challenge. Rokurou manages to persuade her into playing old maid, and Debby accepts - with the rule that if she wins, she will kill him. However, while playing Rokurou realizes something astounding - while Debby is incredibly strong, she is a borderline idiot when it comes to anything else!
