The TV anime "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord" (Written by: Yukiya Murasaki, Illustration: Takahiro Tsurusaki / Kodansha Lanove Bunko), which broadcast its 1st season in 2018 and 2nd season in 2021, has exciting news.
The protagonist, Takuma Sakamoto, who boasted overwhelming strength in a game and was known as a "Demon Lord," is suddenly summoned to another world in his game avatar. Upon arriving, he meets two girls, Shera and Rem, who both claim, "I am the summoner." Takuma is subjected to an enslavement spell meant for summoned beasts, but his innate ability reflects the magic! As a result, Shera and Rem end up becoming his slaves instead. Calling himself "Demon Lord Diablo," Takuma forges ahead with absolute power in this widely discussed "dream and magic otherworld adventure."
To date, 14 light novel volumes and 28 comic volumes have been published, with the 29th comic volume slated for release on Thursday, April 9, 2026. This hit series has surpassed a cumulative total of 4 million copies in circulation (as of August 2025).
Today, the production of the 3rd anime season was officially announced!
The 3rd season will be titled TV Anime "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord ULT"!
Fans will once again be able to watch the continuing adventures of Diablo, Shera, and Rem in animated form.
