During the AnimeJapan 2023 event , it was reported that the second season of the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Shu and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma , Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha ( The Misfit of Demon King Academy ), will be restarted from its first episode on next July in Japan.
Consequently , because the series was originally suspended from its sixth episode, it is estimated that the series will "actually resume" (that is, it will air its seventh episode) until the middle of next August , which implies that there will actually be a six-month delay due to COVID-19. Finally, a new promotional video was also revealed.
It should be remembered that this second season will last for two arcs (two quarters) that will be broadcast separately, and that Yuuichiro Umehara is the new voice of the protagonist Anos Voldigoad , after the immediate expulsion of Tatsuhisa Suzuki after leading an infidelity scandal .
For its part, the first season premiered during the Summer-2020 season (July-September) in Japan and had a total of thirteen episodes, while Crunchyroll is in charge of its distribution in the West. Shu began publishing the novels on the independent service Shousetsuka ni Narou in April 2017.
Sinopsis of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha
In the distant past, a war between humans and demons caused widespread chaos and bloodshed. To end this seemingly endless conflict, the Demon King Anos Voldigoad willingly sacrificed his life, hoping to be reborn in a peaceful future. In preparation for the king's return from him, the demon race created the Demon King Academy, an elite institution tasked with determining Anos's identity when he awakens. He is reincarnated two millennia later, but to his surprise, he soon discovers that the level of magic in the world has drastically decreased during his absence.
Also, when he enrolls in the academy to claim his rightful title, he discovers that the demons remember him differently. His personality, his facts and even his legacy are falsified, masked under the name of an impostor. This "lack" of common knowledge makes him the outlier of the academy, a misfit never before seen in history. Despite these drawbacks, Anos is unfazed. As he sets out to uncover those who alter his glorious past, he takes it upon himself to make his descendants recognize that his ruler has finally returned.
