What is The Misfit of Demon King about?
The Misfit of Demon King Academy is an anime series based on a light novel series written by Shu and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma. The isekai series originally started as a web novel in April 2017 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō, and it began serialization in Dengeki Bunko in 2018, and a manga adaptation by Kayaharuka was released in Square Enix's MangaUp! magazine. Unfortunately, Kayaharuka died last year, after battling pancreatic cancer, so the series has been put on indefinite hiatus.
The manga was licensed by Square Enix, and they provided the following plot description for the series:
Anos, 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!
