Breaking News: Third Season of Slave Magic Officially Confirmed!
The wait is finally over for all the isekai fans out there! It has been officially decided that the third season of the hit TV anime Slave Magic of the Otherworld Demon King and the Summoned Girl is moving into production. This is such a big news for everyone who has been following the series since the beginning. To celebrate this announcement, the team has released a special final visual for the third season, which has been beautifully drawn by the character designer Takahiro Tsurusaki. It looks absolutely stunning and already has the community talking about what is to come next in the journey of our favorite Demon King.
A Quick Look Back at the Story So Far
For those who might need a small refresher, Slave Magic of the Demon King and the Summoned Girl (also known as How Not to Summon a Demon Lord) is a hilarious fantasy romantic comedy. The story follows Takuma Sakamoto, a shut-in gamer who gets summoned into his favorite game world. Interestingly, he ends up inhabiting the body of his character, the Demon King Diablo. While he is incredibly powerful, he has to play the role of a confident Demon King despite being totally socially awkward. Most of the fun comes from him being toyed with by the two main heroines, Shera L. Greenwood and Rem Galleu, while they all confront powerful enemies together. If you want to dive deeper into the series lore, you should definitely check out everything you need to know about how not to summon a demon lord: the ultimate anime and manga guide for all the details.
The original work is a popular light novel written by Yukiya Murasaki. There is also a very successful comic adaptation by Naoha Fukuda that is currently being serialized on Nico Nico Manga's Wednesday Sirius platform. The anime journey started back in 2018 with a solid first season, followed by the second season in 2021. Now, after a few years of waiting, we are finally getting the continuation we all wanted.
What to Expect in Season 3: Slave Magic ULT
The official title for this new installment has been revealed as Another World Demon King and the Summoned Girl's Slave Magic ULT. The teaser visual shows Diablo standing right in the center, looking quite powerful, with Shera on his right and Rem on his left side. It really captures the essence of their dynamic.
