What is The Misfit of Demon King Academy about?
The Misfit of Demon King Academy written by Shu and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma began as a web novel in April 2017 on the Japanese novel self-publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō, and started serialization in Dengeki Bunko in 2018. The series received a manga adaptation by Kayaharuka in MangaUp! magazine. The manga has been put on indefinite hiatus after Kayaharuka passed away last year, after battling pancreatic cancer.
The manga adaptation is licensed by Square Enix, which shared a description for The Misfit of Demon King of Academy:
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!
