The Dengeki Bunko Aki no Namahousou Festival event announced a television anime adaptation of Shuu's Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou (The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants) light novel on Sunday.

Voice actor Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Sora no Otoshimono, Nanatsu no Taizai) will star as the protagonist Anos Voldigoad.

Synopsis
Anoth, the Demon King of Tyranny, has defeated humans, spirits, and gods alike. But even demon kings get tired of all the fighting sometimes! Hoping for a more peaceful life, Anoth decides to reincarnate himself. When he wakes two thousand years later, though, he finds the world has become too peaceful—his descendants have grown weak and magic is in serious decline.

Intending to reclaim his rightful place, he enrolls in Demon King Academy, where he finds that his magical power is off the charts. Literally. And because they can't measure his power, the faculty and other students regard Anoth as a misfit. With the support of Misha, the one student he manages to befriend, the misfit (Demon King) begins his climb up the demon ranks! (Source: Square Enix USA, edited)

Shuu launched the fantasy magic action series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in April 2017. Dengeki Bunko began printing the novel with illustrations by Yoshinori Shizuma (Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho, Toji no Miko) in March 2018. Kadokawa will publish the fifth volume on Thursday. Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha has a cumulative 850,000 copies of its volumes in print.

A manga adaptation by Haruka Kaya has been serialized in Manga UP! web magazine since last July. Square Enix shipped the second volume on May 10, with the third volume also scheduled for a Thursday release.

Square Enix licensed the manga in English under its new Manga & Books imprint this past July. The first volume is scheduled to go on sale on April 28, 2020.

Sigh.. Nothing new, yet i'll still watch it because i like my trashy harem anime. So it will be something similar to Infinite Stratos, Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, Seireitsukai no Blade Dance, etc, as a battle harem (i think) in an academy setting. Well, more entertainment, i'll take it

hahahhah, comparing those shitty harems with dense mc to this one is too much for me. Mc have cool personality, girls aren't falling for him like in those you mentioned, I only read 12 chapters of manga so I don't have that much knowledge how it turns out but I'm pretty hyped for it (tactical: sorry for bad english)

Well, I had read the first 3 books and for me it’s decent enough so that’s enough for me to at least check out the anime.

Jesus, now that's one name that doesn't sound promising at all.

In case you didn't notice or didn't read well, i was comparing the settings of those anime, not the MC's (i didn't even mention them lmao).

As soon as I saw the image, the character aesthetics reminded me of Toji no Miko, and sure enough, the illustrator is the guy who did the character designs for that.

The difference this time is unlike Toji, Maou Gakuin has quite a few male characters too instead of an all-female cast. ( Light Novel )

This is just your regular battle school harem repackaged to get some juice of the Reincarnation/Isekai trend. The author is not even trying to be original.

It's just tensei. The MC reincarnate in the same world.

They are fascinated to see how the authors of the light novel write the same old story only by adding very superficial elements that in the end are irrelevant to the development of it?

Read or research more about light novels, anime-only. Your knowledgeable is weak.

The manga is good. Please do read it before judging. It is not your typical battle academy harem.

Wow, that looks atrocious, unless the anime has some insane production values imma stick with the manga's superior art.
