Maou-sama, Retry! Returns this year

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the light novels "Maou-sama, Retry! (Demon Lord, Retry!)," the main promotional video for the second season of the project was revealed. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for October 5 in Japan, and shows a snippet of the theme songs, including:

ASCA will perform the opening theme titled "Ashita Sekai ga Owaru Toshite mo" (Even if the World Ends Tomorrow), while MIMiNARI will perform the closing theme titled "Clanssi:c feat. Yūho Kitazawa."

Kurone Kanzaki began publishing the novels with illustrations by Kouji Ogata through the independent service Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2016. Subsequently, the Futabasha publishing house began its publication on paper through the Monster Bunko imprint in June 2017. In 2018, a new edition of the novel began to be published, now 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 that 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.
