What is Dead Mount Death Play about?
Dead Mount Death Play anime is based on the manga series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shinta Fujimoto. The series has been serialized in Square Enix’s bimonthly magazine Young Gangan since October 2017. As of April 2023, the series' individual chapters have been collected into eleven volumes.
Yen Press licensed the manga in English, and the official website of the series provided the following plot description for the first volume:
It’s a showdown for the ages as the legendary hero takes on the corpse god necromancer, but when the dust settles, something isn’t quite right… In the final moments of their epic confrontation, the corpse god’s final gambit shot was wholly unexpected — reincarnation magic! Across space and time, a boy named Polka Shinoyama awakens feeling…not quite himself…… Who could’ve expected that the climactic battle between good and evil would turn out like this??
