Plot of Dead Mount Death Play anime
In October 2017, Square Enix first published the Dead Mount Death Play manga in a serialized format in their Young Gangan magazine. As of April 2022, the series' chapters have been assembled into 10 volumes.
Dead Mount Death Play follows the story of a peerless necromancer known as the Corpse God who loses a duel with the Calamity Crusher and is reincarnated not into the body of a deceased relative as was planned but rather into that of a teenager who was just murdered in Shinjuku, Japan, in the present day. All the corpse god wants is a quiet life, but serenity is difficult to find as long as there are people who want his host dead.
However, it's much more challenging when the residents of Shinjuku, including the police, troublemakers, and other oddballs, take an interest in the Corpse God himself. Yet, the Corpse God is too old and calm to be scared off so quickly, and he is ready to face new enemies in defense of his new companions and the serenity they offer.
It would be worth seeing how the anime will do when it premieres. Until then, fans can read the manga or catch anime like Demon Slayer movie, One Piece, Vinland Saga, etc.
