The return of the popular ecchi comedy anime High School DxD just received a major boost, with the staff's recent announcement that the series has surpassed 7.8 million copies in circulation.
The series' official X (formerly Twitter) teased a big High School DxD announcement yesterday, May 1, 2024. While many were hoping this would be the High School DxD Season 5, instead revealed that the series had ended 7.8 million copies in circulation, with the production team saying, “School, fighting, romantic comedy and boobs …! This work, with many interesting features, is already available in many languages,” before notably adding, “Not only novels, DxD will continue in all forms. Everyone, please continue to support us!” Readers can see the article and illustrations by original light novel artist Miyama-Zero below.
