Manga inspiring recently-premiered summer anime
Shogakukan Asia announced on Monday that it will release Nanaki Nanao's Helck fantasy manga in English. The first volume will ship this month.
Shogakukan Asia describes the manga:
Three months have passed since the demon lord was struck down, and the Demon Realm is holding a tournament to select his replacement. The leading contestant is Helck, a human hero who claims to hate his own kind. Some aren't happy with the idea of a human becoming the next demon lord—especially Vermilio the Red. She wants nothing more than to protect demonkind and prove Helck to be their enemy, even if she has to rig the competition to do it!
Nanao began serializing the manga on Shogakukan's Manga ONE and Ura Sunday services in 2014, and ended it in 2017. Shogakukan published the manga in 12 volumes.
The manga is inspiring a television anime adaptation that premiered on Tuesday.
