What is The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army Was a Human about?

The plot is based on Ryousuke Hata’s Original light novel and manga of the same name. It tells the story of Ike, a boy who died and was reborn in another world. Adopted and raised by a great Demon, Ike grew to be a powerful individual with exceptional magical powers, allowing him to effortlessly defeat adversaries and become one of the strongest soldiers in the Demon Army. However, Ike has a secret. When he was born into this new world, he was still able to preserve his human form, and he has since grown to live, act, and fight wars for the demon race. 

Ike, wearing a mask, is unable to expose his human identity in a world where his kind is considered an enemy. The story will follow Ike’s journey as he seeks to correct and balance the cohabitation of humans and demons while still concealing his human identity. Episode 1 of the series, titled “Ike, Commander of the Undying Brigade,” will briefly introduce us to our protagonist, providing a glimpse into his origin story and current position as commander of the Undying Brigade in the Demon Lord’s army.
