Fukuda Michio is directing the anime at GEEK TOYS and CompTown, and the anime will star Ono Yuuki as Dennosuke Uchimura, Kohara Konomi as Ulmandra, and Outsuka Akio as the Demon King.
Benigashira and Muramitsu started the manga in December 2019 in Overlap’s Comic Gardo, and Overlap released the manga’s first tankoubon volume in June 2020. The latest volume, number nine, will be published on July 25th, 2024. The manga is an adaptation of Benigashira’s earlier manga, which they drew and released digitally. The manga runs parallel to the new version by Benigashira and Muramitsu.
Dennosuke Uchimura is just an ordinary Japanese salaryman until he’s sent to work in Vietnam, where he dies in a hit-and-run accident. Uchimura is reincarnated and summoned to another world by the Demon King, who offers him a new job–as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of his army! Uchimura is faced with an offer he can’t refuse, but can he do the job?
