Tired of ceaseless war destroying humans, spirits, and demons alike, the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos Voldigoad, reincarnates to restore peace. Two thousand years have passed...but who could have known that his descendants’ complacency would cause magic to regress so much? After receiving an invitation to the illustrious Demon King Academy, a school tasked with locating the reincarnated founding ancestor, Anos resolves to enroll, only to discover that his magic is off the charts—literally! With power too great to be measured, the former Demon King is branded a misfit. How will he convince demonkind that the school’s founder stands before them? Thus begins a misfit’s climb to the top of the demon hierarchy!

With the fraudulent Demon King’s trap foiled, peace has been restored...for now. Anos, however, is still none the wiser about his opponent’s greater scheme. Speaking of schemes, the Demon Sword Tournament is fast approaching, and Anos is set up to enter—accompanied by a mysterious transfer student known as the “Demon Swordsmaster.” Is this part of a petty prank on the misfit, or is it another of Avos Dilhevia’s nefarious plots? Either way, Anos knows what to do—cut the crap and crush the competition! Rejoin Anos in the Magical Age for a sword tournament like no other in the second volume of The Misfit of Demon King Academy!

With the events of Hanabusa behind them,Yogiri and Tomochika’s journey to the capital has brought them deep into the wilderness of the Garula Canyon, where they meet an enigmatic man known only as the Swordmaster. In hopes of finding any information that might help them get home, the two reluctantly decide to participate in the trial unfolding there: a selection process for those wishing to become Knights of the Divine King. But when Yogiri slips up and accidentally uses his power to kill someone central to the history of the world, their objective quickly changes to escaping the tower where the trial is being held before anyone realizes what he’s done.

The war between demon and man has been successfully thwarted, marking the students’ return to the Demon King Academy. If only peace were so easy to obtain. The people of Dilhade must now face the truth about the long-awaited Demon King and adjust to the abolishment of royalty. Anos must tread carefully—for old enemies, and even old friends, have been awaiting his return. A familiar face from two thousand years ago then arrives at the Demon King Academy—but he’s somehow been possessed by a god! Nosgalia the Heavenly Father, who opposed Anos during the Mythical Age, swears to impose his downfall and return order to the world. But can order truly fight the foe that abolishes all reason? Find out in the fourth installment of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, the Great Spirit Arc!

The truth is out—the fraudulent Demon King, Avos Dilhevia, is a great spirit. And with his legendary power, he seizes control of Dilhade. In order to learn the secret of the great spirit’s birth and stop Avos once and for all, Anos must go back in time to Aharthern two thousand years ago. There, he witnesses a loving family torn apart by a tragedy that will explain everything... Every injustice, every tragedy will fall before the Demon King of Tyranny! The misfit’s path to domination continues as the Great Spirit Arc reaches its emotional climax!

Although he thought his reincarnation was complete, Anos soon realizes he can’t recall fragments of his past. With the help of Arcana and her stolen power, he dives into a dream, where he finds a younger and far less skilled version of his current self fighting bravely to protect his beloved sister. Whether by coincidence or fate, that sister’s name is Arcana-the same name as the Selection God fighting alongside him. To determine the truth of these memories and to learn more about the underground world, Anos takes the students of the Demon King Academy on a trip to Jiordal, Kingdom of the Divine Dragon, where the ruler declares Arcana the reincarnation of the Militia, Goddess of Creation. So who is Arcana? Is she the Goddess of Creation, or is she his sister? The truth is yet to be seen...
