Manga creator Nanaki Nanao announced an anime adaptation of her Helck manga on her Twitter account on Monday.

Synopsis
While humanity celebrates the defeat of the Demon King by the hands of a lone hero, the denizens of the demon world prepare for the contest of a lifetime—a tournament to decide who would inherit the title of Demon King.

Now, three months later, the tournament has been proceeding smoothly—well, other than the fact that the favorite to come out on top is the human hero Helck! With a smile and a wave, he easily bests his demonic competition, all while loudly proclaiming his hatred for humans. Though he calls for the destruction of humanity, the truth of what lies behind his cheery façade remains a mystery.

Doubtful of Helck's intentions, Red Vamirio—one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," who oversee the realm of the demons together—seeks to uncover what the hero is truly after. With the title of "Demon King" at stake, the fate of the demon world rests on her shoulders. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Nanao first posted Helck as an entry for Ura Sunday's "Serialization Contribution Tournament" in 2013 and placed second, winning a serialization. The action fantasy manga ran from May 2014 to December 2017. Shogakukan shipped the 12th and final volume in May 2018.

Helck placed 8th in the Tsugi Ni Kuru Manga Taisho in 2015 and 5th place in the male category in 100 Man Hito ga Erabu Omoshiroi WEB Comic in 2017.

I hope they do the anime justice, I really enjoyed the manga. Can't wait for the amount of Azudora fans in the world to increase exponentially.

Worries:
- Will it be a full adaptation since the manga is finished like not more than 4 years ago?
- The studio involved, clearly we don't want the current Baraou no Souretsu treatment.

Looking forward to this one.

Wow that came out of the left field. Loved the manga so I just hope that the studio adapting it will at least be decent. Also looking forward to seeing my favorite mascot character animated.

That's one of the most unexpected adaptations I could imagine. Though I'm afraid this series is not well known enough to get productions values it deserves. It's hard to ask for the quality of the first season of OPM or complete adaptations, since things like that rarely happen, but at least make it something more than the usual run of the mill crap, anime industry is churning out every season.

I hope the first few episodes won't turn people off.
To anyone wondering, they're not bad, they're just comedy-styled, as opposed to the rest.
Really glad that this gets it! I lost hope after it lost a competion for anime adaptations a while back.
It might be getting an anime because the author has another work currently in progress, set in the same world.
I'm hyped.

What is going on? First Lucifer and now this. So many underrated finished mangas finally getting an anime. Plus old classics getting new anime as well. I am guessing we are finally entering a new phase in anime.

I only started reading manga this year, but I swear too many are getting adaptations just after I read them. Chainsaw man, komi-san, my dress up darling, shikimori is not just a cutie, spy x family, the way of the house husband, the Duke of death and his black maid. Excluding those which already had anime, that's like 80%.

Anyone have a manga they want an anime adaptation for? I'll read a page and you'll get it next week.

Why are people always acting so surprised? Old and/or completed anime/manga/light novels/novels/ books/visual novels/video games/otome games/gatch games etc. getting an anime adaptation is nothing new and has actually been going on for a while, like, this gem, from 2017 for example: https://myanimelist.net/anime/34547/Shoukoku_no_Altair?q=shoukoku&cat=anime

Like i always say, there is always hope for a adaptation/re-adaptation/sequel/reboot etc. Just do NOT give up hope!!!

Ahem, anway, this seems interesting, looking forward to watching it! Added to PTW! ^-^
