The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army Was a Human anime is being directed by Norihiko Nagahama, with Touko Machida overseeing scripts, Masami Sueoka handling character designs and KOHTA YAMAMOTO composing music for the Studio A-Cat production.
According to Happinet, the anime is adapting the manga, which itself is based on the light novel series by Ryousuke Hata. Here’s how Happinet describes it:
Ike is known as “”the strongest magician in the demon king’s army”” and is a single-handedly conquering fortresses.
The way he mowed down the enemies with his immense magic is truly a “”monster”” that makes him feared by both allies and foes alike.
However, he had a secret that he could not tell other demons.
“”–I’m actually human.””
Aiming for a coexistence between demons and humans while the leader of demon’s army is hiding the fact that he is actually a human!?
