The story of "love, magic, and battles" revolves around Akuto Sai, a boy who aims to become part of his country's highest order of magicians and contribute to society as one of its clergy. On the day he is admitted into the Constan Magical Academy, his aptitude test predicts the following: "Future Occupation...Devil King." Thus begins his difficult school life in which he is resented by his studious female class head, desired by a girl with mysterious powers, and guarded by a beautiful female android.

I don't even know where to start with this series. Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou is a novel that pretty much tries to force you to like the jerkass protagonist it has, a totally unsympathetic demon overlord who's infinitely more powerful than everyone else in the cast and who's constantly praised by all the girls despite showing no calms on killing their family if he wants to for no real reason. Hiroshi, a member of the main cast who serves as the foil to Akuto, is called "the hero of the story" by many in-universe, and for a very good reason, he's much better written and ...
