The Heroic Tale of the Villainous Prince's Hirosaki Launches New Manga
Writer Hare Tori and manga artist Hirosaki launched a new manga titled Saijaku Maō no Shinimodori Saiseitan (The Tale of the Rebirth of the Weakest Demon Lord and His Return by Death) in Hero's Inc.'s HERO'S Web (formerly Comiplex) manga website on October 7.
The manga centers on Krom, the second Demon Lord who is weaker than even the Seven Demonic Generals who support the Demon Lord. In the midst of his reign, the Demons' mortal enemy, the Seven Heroes, invade the Demon territory and slaughter all, including the Generals and Krom's devoted servant Shia. In his deep shame, he commits suicide to join his companions in death. But he then awakens to a time one year before his death. Now wielding his own death as his greatest weapon, he prepares for the calamity that awaits him in one year's time.
Hirosaki previously drew a manga adaptation of Ryū Hidari's The Heroic Tale of the Villainous Prince (Akuyaku Ōji no Eiyūtan) novels. The manga launched in Kadokawa's KadoComi website under the Dengeki Comic Regulus label in July 2023, and ended in March 2025. Kadokawa published three compiled book volumes for the manga. Yen Press is publishing the manga in English, and released the third volume on July 28.
