Maou-sama, Retry! prepares for its comeback this year
On the official website for the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Kurone Kanzaki and illustrated by Koji Ogata and Amaru Minotake, "Maou-sama, Retry! (Demon Lord, Retry!)," more information was revealed about the announced second season of the project titled "Maou-sama, Retry! A." The statement listed that this second season will premiere sometime in 2024 in Japan and considerable changes in the production team.
It should be remembered that "Maou-sama, Retry! "R" is the title of the manga adaptation of the original light novels by Amaru Minotake. It is not a "renewed" version, but simply changed its name when it was changed to a new publication medium within the Futabasha publishing house. The adaptation began in October 2017 on the Comic Action site, and was moved to the Gaugau Monster site in 2020. Although the name changed, the story continued on its normal course.
Kanzaki began publishing the novels with illustrations by Kouji Ogata through the independent service Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2016. Subsequently, Futabasha Publishing began publishing on paper through the Monster Bunko imprint in June 2017. In 2018, a new edition of the novel began to be published, this time with illustrations by Makoto Iino, through M Novels.
A manga adaptation with illustrations by Amaru Minotake was published through Monster Comics on Futabasha's Comic Action website between October 2017 and December 2019. It had five compilation volumes at the time. In 2019 the manga was transferred to the new Gaugau Monster site, continuing its publication from March 2020 to the present. During the transfer the title was changed to "Maou-sama, Retry! R", but continued the original story.
