Kodoani.com – Happinet announced on Friday that the manga “Maō-gun Saikyō no Majutsushi wa Ningen Datta” (The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army is a Human) by author Ryousuke Hata and artist Anajiro will be adapted into a television anime and is expected to premiere this year.
Kuma and Anajiro also drew illustrations to celebrate the announcement.
The anime will feature voice actors such as:
Jun Fukuyama vai Ike
Hina Tachibana alas Satie
Shizuka Itōh vai Cefiro
Manaka Iwami vai Chúa quỷ
Fasting Waki vai Lilith
Director Norihiko Nagahama will direct the film at Studio A-Cat. Touko Machida is supervising the script, Masami Sueoka is the character designer, and KOHTA YAMAMOTO is composing the music.
Happinet has confirmed that the anime is adapting the manga. The story is described as follows:
Ike is known as “the strongest magician in the demon king’s army” and an excellent conqueror of fortresses. The way he defeats enemies with his powerful magic is a “monster,” fearing both allies and opponents.
However, Ike keeps a secret that he cannot tell the other demons – “I am actually a human.”
He must maintain an existence between the worlds of demons and humans, while the leader of the demon army maintains the fact that he is actually a human.
Ryousuke Hata launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in February 2016, and the latest update was in November 2022. Futabasha published the fifth novel series in April 2018.
Anajiro began drawing the manga adaptation in 2019, which was serialized on Futabasha’s Gaugau Monster website. The manga’s 10th volume will be released on January 30.
