About the manga
Hiro Mashima's new manga follows the central protagonist Yakuto, who aspires to join the titular Demon King training institution. The gritty and dark plot has elements of gore, dark comedy, and, of course, adventure.
Steeped in supernaturalism and dark fantasy, the first chapter introduced the central characters of the story, showing how tough, and challenging the Demon King training institution can be. Meanwhile, the entrance examination of Dead Rock held in the Demon Realm 666th layer was more than competitive.
The aspiring candidates had to go through a tremendous ordeal, and out of 1000 students, only a handful could clear the entrance test, while the others perished. The first chapter also introduced the Principal of the Dead Rock, God.
He promised to grant Human Realm to those who would graduate from the Demon King training institution. There was an interesting twist at the end of the chapter that kept readers on the edge of their seats.
Overall, Hiro Mashima's new manga seems promising. From interesting characters to an engaging plot, it has everything that can make it one of the best works of the popular mangaka.
