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!

The world may be at peace, but old grudges die hard.

Upon invitation to the Gairadite Hero Academy, the students of Delsgade embark for the continent of Azesion, but there’s something fishy about the timing of this educational exchange. All is revealed during the inter-academy exam when a test of strength becomes a test of wit. The third years suffer an embarrassing defeat at the hands of these so-called heroes, and Anos must step up to avenge them—no matter the foe he must face. For lurking in the background is the ever scheming imposter whose time to step out from the shadows draws near. Behold the next step on a misfit’s path of domination in the third volume of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, the Hero Academy Arc!

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!

With the second coming of the Demon King of Tyranny, Dilhade is finally at peace, but sightings of dragons, which were thought to be extinct, have been reported all over Azesion. When the Demon King Academy and Hero Academy team up to deal with the creatures, they discover an unknown world beneath the ground. Meanwhile, a mysterious man with a god by his side appears before Anos. The man, a draconid, tells him of the Selection, a trial in which eight gods summon representatives to fight each other and the victor becomes a proxy of the gods, and of how Anos has been chosen as one of the representatives. Anos pursues the man to the underground world—the divine capital, Gaelahesta—where he takes down his new “rival” and befriends the familiar yet not-so-familiar god...

In order to stop Jiordal from attacking the surface, the dome that covered the underground world was turned into an eternal existence through the power of the Sword of the Almighty. But once the dome was removed from the order of the world, earthrain began to fall, threatening to destroy all life in the underground world.

To prevent such tragedy, Anos and his followers head towards one of the three major nations of the underground world: Agatha, the land of knights ruled by an all-seeing prophet. There, they encounter a draconid fated to be sacrificed to the dragons—dragons that consume enough sources give birth to “dragonborn.” What will happen when Anos and everyone meet these dragonborn meant to support the entire underground world?

The story continues in volume 7, Agatha Prophecy Arc!

Thanks to the power of the people’s wishes extending past kingdom borders, destruction was avoided and peace has fallen upon the underground world. But there are many unsolved mysteries surrounding the death of the Goddess of Creation, the remaining Selected Eight, and the identity of the self-proclaimed father of the Demon King...

Anos and his followers head back underground in search of clues and discover the existence of Erial—Stars of Creation that have Anos’s missing memories sealed within them. But the land where the stars are hidden is controlled by the Sorcerer King, a powerful demon from the Mythical Age.

Will the Stars of Creation be the key to solving all these mysteries? Find out in volume 8, the Father of the Demon King arc!

Anos successfully avenges the death of his father by defeating his mortal enemy, Graham. In the aftermath of regaining most of his lost memories from the Erial, something abnormal happens to Sasha, whom he entrusted with the final Star of Creation; she proclaims herself the reincarnation of Abernyu, the Goddess of Destruction.

In order to confirm the truth, Anos and his friends follow the fragments of her revived memories and explore the depths of the Demon Castle Delsgade, where they find traces of Abernyu everywhere.

The Goddess of Creation who made the world, and her sister the Goddess of Destruction: the secrets of these two gods are about to be revealed in volume 9, Demon Castle Depths arc!

A sick Izabella’s condition worsens when a mythical beast awakens in the Chasm of Longing. The man seemingly behind it all—Chief Dominic of the Institute of Mythical Beasts—never leaves the Ruinous Abyss World Evezeino. But when Anos marches into the institute to confront Dominic, he finds Dominic already perished, with Anos himself now considered a suspect for being at the scene of the crime. A mysterious figure swoops in to save Anos, claiming themselves an ally, but are they really here to help? Just what is the truth behind everything going on here? The mysteries of the Ruinous Abyss World finally start to unravel!
