What is How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord?
How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord is a twelve-episode fantasy comedy that aired during summer 2018. The series follows Takuma Sakamoto, a player so dominant in the MMORPG Cross Reverie that he earned the fearsome title of Demon Lord. When he is mysteriously transported to another world retaining his game avatar's appearance, two girls attempt to enslave him through ritual magic—only to have their plan catastrophically backfire. The enslavement curse redirects to them instead, leaving Takuma with two unwilling servants and a problem: he has no social skills whatsoever.
Takuma's solution is to embrace his in-game persona entirely, adopting the name Diablo and committing to the role of an all-powerful Demon Lord. What begins as a desperate social strategy becomes the foundation for his journey through this new world, where his reputation as a fearsome sorcerer opens doors while his complete inability to function normally in everyday situations creates constant friction. The series blends ecchi humor with genuine fantasy adventure as Takuma navigates quests, enemies, and relationships while maintaining his increasingly thin cover story.
The complete season is finished airing, making it an ideal choice for viewers seeking a full story arc in one sitting. Its mix of comedy, fantasy world-building, and character-driven humor appeals to fans comfortable with the ecchi genre's sensibilities.
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto is so powerful that he is lauded as the “Demon Lord” by other players. One day, he is summoned to another world – but with the same appearance he had in the game! There, he meets two girls who both proclaim themselves to be his Summoner. They had performed an Enslavement Ritual to turn him into their Summon... but that's when Takuma's passive ability activated! Instead, it was the girls who had become enslaved! Though Takuma may have been the strongest Sorcerer there was, he had no idea how to talk with other people. That's when he makes his choice: to act based on his persona from the game! “Amazing? But of course... I am Diablo, the being known and feared as the Demon Lord!” So begins a tale of adventure with an earth-shakingly powerful Demon Lord (or at least someone who acts like one) taking on another world!
