01'A Demon King is Born!'
Transcription: 'Maō ga Tanjō Shichatta!' (Japanese: 魔王が誕生しちゃった!)		April 3, 2010
Akuto Sai meets Junko Hattori on the train to Constant Magic Academy. The two make a powerful pact to make the world a better place, a pact that will mean death if broken. Upon arrival, Akuto is told he is destined to be the Demon King, and the entire school begins to fear him. After his introduction in class reaches a zealous climax, a fellow student named Hiroshi Miwa looks up to him, while the rest of the class becomes even more terrified. Eventually, Akuto slips up when he volunteers for 'cleaning duty', which is slang in the academy for becoming a 'cleaner', an assassin that maintains the school's secrets. This infuriates Junko, who challenges him to a duel that ends with Akuto accidentally destroying the classroom in a magical explosion. His later attempts to reconcile with Junko at her dorm again launch her into a murderous frenzy, resulting in a chase through the woods. There, Akuto runs into Kena Soga mid-fight, and she resolves to protect him for personal, though unspecified reasons. She is unable to do so, and Akuto again ends the fight with another freak explosion. Immediately after, he is greeted by Korone, an 'observer'.
02'The Odd Observer!'
Transcription: 'Okashina Kanshiin' (Japanese: おかしな監視員)		April 10, 2010
Akuto meets with the principal of the academy with Korone, whom the principal ordered to stay with Akuto as a bodyguard and a judge of whether or not he will truly become a demon king. Akuto meets with Fujiko Eto the following day, who pledges to help him despite his destiny. She later recommends that they meet in secret in the mountains behind the school, and instructs him on how to disable Korone. En route, Akuto and Korone are attacked by a demon dog, an animal mutated by mana. Akuto is able to absorb the creature's mana and return it to a puppy, a feat that astounds Korone. The puppy picks up Kena's scent, whose ability to become invisible is revealed. After deactivating Korone, Akuto rendezvous with Fujiko in the mountains, where she asks him to join the school's disciplinary committee to help clear his name. As an emergency way to reconcile with Junko, she also gives him a two-shot magical gun that fires medicinal tablets, which she claims will allow the two people shot by it to understand each other's feelings. On the way back, he is tackled by Kena, still fleeing from the puppy, and is rendered visible and exposed in clear view of the now-reactivated Korone. In exchange for testifying to Korone that Akuto did not try to molest her, Kena requests his friendship, which he agrees to. At the end, Fujiko is shown contacting Junko, falsely claiming that Akuto had threatened her. Fujiko then enters a secret passage in her room, where she converses with her brother's severed head about her plans for Akuto.
03'The Scary Upperclassman!'
Transcription: 'Chotto Kowai Senpai' (Japanese: ちょっと怖い先輩)		April 17, 2010
During a late-night soak in the male bathhouse, Hiroshi informs Akuto about the school's underground, and mentions that Junko gained her popularity at the school by fighting this underground. As Fujiko arranges a meeting between Akuto and Junko the following afternoon, Akuto meets with the student council with regard to his application for being the disciplinary committee's representative. Akuto has to deal with Korone in order to meet with Junko, and decides the only way to ensure she is out of the way is by pulling her tail again, which leads to a misunderstanding until Kena interrupts to dump her rice cooker on Akuto (since she was banned from keeping it in her room) as a gesture and proof of their friendship. The meeting with Junko turns out to be an ambush by members of the underground, and Akuto swiftly beats them, only for Junko to appear when the dust settles. Mistaking the act as a wrongdoing, she publicly calls Akuto out for punitive justice, and together with a large crowd of students, chase Akuto around the school. Kena intervenes at the last moment before Junko can complete her punitive justice. Junko admits that the situation got out of hand and that she was partly responsible for the misunderstanding that prompted the mob to come after Akuto, only to have the mob call her out for turning back to Akuto's side. Korone saves the situation by showering the angry mob of students in medicated rice.

Akuto gets depressed, but for some strange reason, Korone and Kena tag along and he is caught between the two of them. They find a mysterious map and Kena is intrigued, wondering if it is a treasure map. Fujiko recognize what the map truly is. The next day, Kena copies the map and posts it all over the school. It becomes the talk of the whole academy, because students keep getting hurt as they try to find the treasure. Akuto, in his role as the disciplinary committee member, insists that they give up looking, but a girl named Eiko Teruya suddenly appears and he ends up having to find it himself.
05'Beware the Labyrinth!'
Transcription: 'Chika Meikyū ni Goyōjin' (Japanese: 地下迷宮にご用心)		May 1, 2010
Akuto, Korone, Hiroshi, and Eiko go to the school's underground labyrinth to find the spot on the map. They encounter a cloaked being who tries to stop them with swarms of bats, but is easily defeated. Akuto digs up a plush recording device buried under a tombstone that guides them to an abandoned research facility, where they are attacked by an armored statue. Inside the statue, Eiko finds a screen that points to an underground shrine behind a cavern hot spring. Meanwhile, Junko, Kena, and Fujiko make their way to the labyrinth. Junko, who fell underground into the hot spring, tells Akuto that Eiko is actually a government spy. A savage wolf comes after them, but they are saved when Kena and Fujiko arrive. Eiko, in tears after seeing Akuto protect Junko over her, leaves after giving him a key from the shrine. When Fujiko activates the key, it transports them to the headquarters of the student council, who were responsible for the attacks. It is revealed that the headquarters is really the base of the Demon King. Aiming to uncover what her brother had forgotten, Fujiko uses the items her brother left behind to awaken the treasured dragon beast Peterhausen. The dragon beast reacts to an unknown catalyst (implied to be Kena) and replays a record of the events leading to Fujiko's brother's death, causing Fujiko to collapse. An enraged Akuto confronts Peterhausen, soon becoming his new master, despite his wishes. After that the student council president kisses him as a reward for finding the treasure first.
06'Let's Go to School by the Sea!'
Transcription: 'Rinkai Gakkō e Ikō!' (Japanese: 臨海学校へ行こう!)		May 8, 2010
Under observation by the government, Akuto is depressed to find out he cannot go to the seaside school on an island. Korone arranges for him to go by offering to take responsibility for him herself. However, she makes constant attempts to seduce him. Akuto tries to enjoy going to the beach with Junko, but both Kena and Korone interrupt when the former two are having fun. Later on, Hiroshi tells Akuto about the legend of the Demon King that is told by the people on the island. The legend says that the revival of the demon king and the dragon will call forth a legendary hero who will defeat them in battle, but Akuto is skeptical. Meanwhile, Lily Shiraishi, informing Fujiko about the government's plan to use Akuto for its own benefit, says that she will handle this situation on her own.
07'The Legendary Hero Appears?!'
Transcription: 'Densetsu no Yūsha Arawaru!' (Japanese: 伝説の勇者現る!)		May 15, 2010
In a flashback, Hiroshi learns he is destined to become a hero. In the present time, Korone leaves after saying she has failed in her mission, which she hints as being her failure to seduce and manipulate Akuto. Yukiko Miwa, Hiroshi's younger sister, goes to Akuto to verify if he is truly the Demon King. After both Akuto and Hiroshi deny their destinies, Yukiko runs off in tears. Hiroshi later explains that beneath the legendary lake is a shrine inside a cave, where there is a sword in the stone. A mysterious man, known as Mr. X, awakens a mana-absorbing sea cucumber beast from the lake. Mr. X captures Yukiko, but Hiroshi and Kena try to fight back. However, Hiroshi is pummeled into the lake and Kena is captured. Akuto and Junko rescue Yukiko and Kena, but Mr. X sends the beast to destroy the village on the island, and then overwhelms Akuto with anti-magic attacks. After Akuto understands the secret behind Mr. X's attacks, Mr. X turns his attention to Junko, Yoriko, and Kena. Luckily, Korone returns just in time to stop Mr. X's attack. Meanwhile, Hiroshi goes to the shrine, pulls the sword out of the stone, and gains the powers of a hero. The sword gives Hiroshi the name Brave, and he uses a plasma-like attack to eradicate the beast. Korone admits that she tried to seduce Akuto in order to teach him how to develop an intimate relationship with someone of status (like Junko), and she previously believed she had failed because it seemed like Akuto had fallen for Kena.
08'Do You Have a Crush?'
Transcription: 'Ano Ko ni Goshūshin?' (Japanese: あの子にご執心?)		May 22, 2010
Akuto ponders if the hairpiece Kena wears is the same one he gave to her as an orphaned child. Fujiko wants to control a beast of her own, obtaining an demon beast egg after slaying a slug beast. An easygoing Kena still skips class constantly, much to Akuto's worry. Akuto does not realize that Junko actually has feelings for him, especially when Akuto himself is trying to persuade Kena to attend class again. Kena steals the demon beast egg from Fujiko in her sleep, soon hatching into a two-headed chicken beast. Akuto tries to attack the beast, but it evades. Hiroshi quickly annihilates the beast before it causes further damage to the city. Korone later tells a depressed Junko to discuss an omiai to Akuto with her parents.
09'Marriage Interview Chaos!'
Transcription: 'Tonda Omiai Sōdō' (Japanese: とんだお見合い騒動)		May 29, 2010
Without either of their input, it is decided that an omiai is to be held at Junko's village. Junko, who has feelings for Akuto, is unable to tell him, and so invites him to the village for other reasons. Akuto knows nothing of the marriage interview, but feels responsible for the messes he has caused and decides to go with her. There they meet Yuko Hattori, Junko's younger sister. She is not only revealed as a pop star idol, but she bears a scar on her neck of which was bitten by a demon beast long ago. That night, Junko readies herself and visits his room, where she lets him know why he was invited to the village. This leads to another misunderstanding as several clan members chase Akuto after seeing Junko in tears. As Akuto flees, he is confronted by Eiko, who tells him that the gods have decided Kena as a threat, and orders her clan to eliminate Kena. On school grounds, Kena is saved by Boichiro Yamato, the leader of the Cabinet Intelligence Magic Office, from being assassinated. He only shows interest in making her his own to control the gods, calling her the 'principle of identity'. Akuto uses his power to transport himself to the school grounds, but he realizes that Yamato surpasses him in strength.

12'All Done?'
Transcription: 'Oshimai wa Kanpeki?' (Japanese: おしまいは完璧?)		June 19, 2010
Akuto defeats Hiroshi in the sky, and carries him down to a forest for Yuko to look after him.

Akuto at last defeats Yamato and takes back Kena. He learns that the demon king was created by the gods to make the contract with the principle of identity and destroy humanity. Akuto refuses and declares his intent to kill the gods, causing their defense system to activate. Akuto puts his life on the line to battle the gods, and put an end to the story they have created. Peterhausen gives Kena a dragon tooth as a memento for his predetermined death. Akuto and Kena reunite with Junko, Korone, Hiroshi, Fujiko, Lily, and Yuko.

Plot summary[edit]

This story of 'love, magic, and battles' revolves around Akuto Sai, a boy who aims to become part of his country's highest order of magicians and contribute to society as one of its clergy. On the day he is admitted into the Constant Magical Academy, his aptitude test predicts the following: 'Future Occupation: Demon King.' Thus begins his severe school life in which he is resented by his studious female class head, desired by a girl with mysterious powers, and guarded by a beautiful female android.

Characters[edit]

Main characters[edit]

Akuto Sai (紗伊 阿九斗Sai Akuto)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Drama CD), Takashi Kondou (Teen), Kaori Akashi (Child) (anime) (Japanese); Chris Patton (English)[2][3]
Akuto, an orphan raised in a church-run orphanage, transfers to Constant Magic Academy, hoping to someday become a high priest for the benefit of society.[4] However, upon arriving, Yatagarasu, the school's oracular spirit, announces that he will become the Demon King in the future.[4] As a result, the entire student body becomes terrified and paranoid of him.[4] Even so, he tries to do the right thing whenever a situation arises. Akuto has an incredible amount of power within him that sometimes gets out of control. Akuto has a highly serious personality but is not without some humor. In the manga, he has much more of a temper, and, in a fight, is unwilling to hold anything back. In the anime, he tries to restrain himself in order to convince everyone that he has no desire to be the Demon King.
Also in the manga, he was depicted as a very good cook.[5]
Despite his good-nature and wanting to make the world a better place, he does not ascribe to the world's religions, and even got in trouble when he was a child at a church-run orphanage for stating so.[6]
Akuto is capable of controlling and manipulating 'mana', a form of energy that resides in the bodies of living things and in surroundings. For instance, he is able to absorb the mana of a large demon dog, thus transforming it back into a normal puppy, a feat that has never been performed before.[7] However, his immense power is also highly volatile and most of his early attempts at controlling mana and creating magical projectiles, no matter how benign they are supposed to be, resulted in catastrophic explosions.[8]
Theron Martin of Anime News Network describes Akuto's role in the series as 'a case where the harem master is still basically a nice guy but also turns out to be his story's buffest and biggest bad-ass' and that 'everything that Akuto says or does to prove that he is not a Demon King is instead misinterpreted in a way that only bolsters his image as a Demon King, including the way that he collects his harem, is a vastly amusing one which gets a lot of play throughout the series'.[9]
Junko Hattori (服部 絢子Hattori Junko)
Voiced by: Ryoko Shiraishi (Drama CD), Yōko Hikasa (anime) (Japanese); Luci Christian (English)[2][3]
Junko is a student of class 1-A and the class representative. She is a disciple of the god Suhara[4] and a member of the Iga Ninja Clan. Her family of warriors have been charged with protecting the Empire for generations.[4] She is very devoted to her samurai-like traditions and has a strong sense of justice. She meets Akuto on the train to the school, and forms a pact with him to make the world a better place.[4] When she discovers that he is destined to become Demon King, she decides that it is in the best interest of society to destroy him, believing that he knew about his destiny and that he tricked her into becoming friends.[4] She usually misinterprets his attempts at good deeds and intentions as evil wrongdoings. She begins to develop strong feelings for Akuto throughout the series after realizing his intentions, and at one point didn't mind the thought of being married to him. Her power is mostly based around the sword that she carries with her at all times. According to Kena Soga, Junko is Akuto's best friend, and according to Korone, Junko and Akuto should get married. Her goal is to serve the nation as a member of its fighting force. In the anime and to some extent in the manga, she is portrayed as having tsundere tendencies. Her family name is taken from the famous samurai Hanzo Hattori.
Kena Soga (曽我 けーなSoga Kena)
Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Drama CD), Aki Toyosaki (anime) (Japanese); Melissa Davis (English)[2][3]
Kena is one of Akuto's classmates in classroom 1-A who is always seen wearing a bird-shaped hairpin, later revealed to be a gift from Akuto when they were both children at the orphanage. She can make herself invisible to the point of having her own mana cloaked, although this applies only to her body; the hairpin and any other clothes she is wearing remain visible. Aside from near-complete invisibility and flight, Kena does not seem to exhibit other magic abilities. She is a highly capable student, but frequently absent from class, a point that annoys Akuto to no end. She loves rice and keeps a rice cooker even though rice cookers are banned from her dorm, as she believes that everyone would be happy if they ate rice together. Kena is often quite nonsensical, often acting based on unlikely and bizarre conclusions. For example, she once believed that she was responsible for killing Junko in a magical explosion, despite it originating from Akuto and Junko only being rendered unconscious. She refers to Akuto as 'Aa-chan' and is not ashamed to express her affections for him.
Korone (ころね)
Voiced by: Minori Chihara (Drama CD), Aoi Yūki (anime) (Japanese); Maggie Flecknoe (English)[2][3]
Korone is a green-haired Surveillance Agent sent by the government to observe Akuto 24/7.[7] She is a Liradan/L'Isle-Adam (リラダンRiradan), a race of androids.[7] She is usually emotionless and stolid, but occasionally curious when it comes to certain things.[7] However, she does display human characteristics on occasion; particularly, she enjoys teasing Akuto, often casually mentioning or doing perverted things in front of him to get a response.[10] She sleeps in a small storage closet in Akuto's dorm room,[7] and has numerous firearms and other items stored inside her handbag, a sort of hammerspace. Korone has the ability to read other people's emotions, and can detect an individual's presence based on mana emitted by that person's body. She, like all Liradans, can be temporarily deactivated by pulling her tail (in her case, a rabbit's) like the string on a talking doll.[7] She can be reactivated after her tail is pulled again, but loses her short-term memory of events before the deactivation.[7] Despite her emotionless demeanor, Korone seems to have feelings for Akuto, displaying a visible emotion of sadness when Akuto scolds her after being ordered by the higher-ups to seduce him.[10]
Hiroshi Miwa (三輪 寛Miwa Hiroshi)
Voiced by: Yūta Kasuya (Drama CD), Tsubasa Yonaga (anime) (Japanese); Greg Ayres (English)[3]
Hiroshi is Akuto's self-described minion much to Akuto's dismay. A boy of shorter-than-average stature, he is frequently and savagely bullied by other students, and sees Akuto as his protector.[4] Hiroshi does not get bullied in the anime, but is taken as a hostage once. His desire to become Akuto's servant began when Akuto gave a speech in class, although its debatably anarchistic climax terrified the rest of the class. Despite looking up to Akuto, he believes him to actually be evil and often misinterprets his intentions, giving counterproductive advice as a result.
Later on in the series, he is revealed to have been predicted by the Yatagarasu to become a hero in the future, and so he acquires the AI unit D13 (Voiced by: Kaori Akashi (Japanese), Shannon Emerick (English)) and uses it to transform into the legendary hero known as Brave (ブレイブBureibu) after pulling out the sword in the cave in his hometown. As Brave, he has access to numerous weapons such as lasers, energy blades, and plasma guns. He keeps his identity as Brave a secret from the others. He is also a big fan of the idol Yuri Hoshino, who he later saves and becomes acquainted with. He also falls in love with Yuri after she kisses him as a reward for saving her.
In the anime, Hiroshi immediately latches onto Akuto as a 'big brother' upon meeting him in class while in the manga, Hiroshi only makes the association after Akuto saved him from bullies.
Fujiko Eto (江藤 不二子Etō Fujiko)
Voiced by: Yuki Makishima (1st Drama CD), Ayahi Takagaki (2nd Drama CD), Shizuka Itō (anime)[2] (Japanese); Shelley Calene-Black (English)[note 1]
Fujiko Eto is the head of the girl's dorms at Constant Academy, and one of the few people early in the series who sympathizes with Akuto and his situation.[7] In the manga, she is a second-year and a leader of the discipline committee.[11] She became the head of the Eto family after her older brother died. However, she keeps in contact with him via his reanimated head which she keeps in a fluid-filled jar, and which has lost part of his memory.[12] In the anime, her brother was killed by an unknown power on a mission (he was killed by Boichiro), while in the manga, he was executed for failing the mission. She plans to use Akuto's demon powers, once he becomes Demon King, for her own purposes. Despite her intentions of becoming the Demon Queen for its own sake, she is very attracted to Akuto and realizes she is in love with him, or at least lust, given her sexual actions in the anime.[12] Her magical powers are mostly based around the use of chemicals and potions, which she throws around like grenades. She also uses a whip and develops the ability to control some of the demon beasts. She has a research lab that she hides away in.

Supporting characters[edit]

Mitsuko Tori (鳥井 美津子Torii Mitsuko)
Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi (Japanese); Rozie Curtis (English)[2][3]
Mitsuko Tori is the Magic Academy's school nurse, and the homeroom teacher for Class 1-A.[4] Upon learning of Akuto's future occupation as Demon King, she hopes that when Akuto dies, she can turn Akuto into a zombie and so she can perform research on him.[4] She is a bit too open about this plan, much to Akuto's discomfort.[4] In the manga, it was stated that she was a prodigy at age 10, but Akuto's raw power he displayed on his first day surpasses hers. She cast a mana barrier in the opening episode when Akuto almost blew up the classroom.[4]
Lily Shiraishi (リリィ 白石Riryi Shiraishi)
Voiced by: Akemi Kanda[13] (Drama CD), Ryō Hirohashi (anime) (Japanese); Hilary Haag (English)[2][3]
Lily is the Student Council President of Constant Magic Academy. She is always seen wearing a pointed witch's hat that has a face on it. Her hat occasionally talks.[4] Despite her petite appearance, Lily is a capable fighter and mage; her powers include extending her arms to conduct devastating punches. In the anime, like the other girls, Lily also develops feelings for Akuto. She even kisses Akuto on the lips after he defeats Peterhausen. While Lily often prevents the government from acting against Akuto, she has also stated that she will kill him if he fulfills his destiny as the Demon King and tries to destroy society. In the manga, she initially challenges and defeats Akuto, and makes him train at her house while the other girls serve as maids,[14] but in the anime and light novel, she is much kinder and only hits him when she needs to get a point across. She also has a brutal side, which is apparent when she beat up the Iga and Koga Ninja Clans in Episode 11.[15]
Michie Otake (大竹 美智恵Ōtake Michie)
Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese); Shannon Emerick (English)[3]
Michie is the Student Council Vice President of Constant Magic Academy, who is frequently seen wearing a long black-and-red cape. She uses magic to control a large swarm of bats, and is seen using it on several occasions in battle and as rapid transportation. She occasionally uses different Japanese dialects when she speaks; sometimes several within the same sentence which some of the other characters have observed or commented on.
Kanna Kamiyama (神山 カンナKamiyama Kanna)
Voiced by: Kaoru Mizuhara (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English)[3]
Kanna is the treasurer of the Student Council who is seen frequently in the company of her friends in the Student Council, including the President and Vice President. Her magic ability is transforming into a giant wolf and uses this form to slice her enemies apart.
Arnoul (アルヌールArunūru)
Voiced by: Minako Kotobuki (Japanese); Margaret Fawcett (English)[3]
The secretary of the Student Council, and is always seen in the company of the other Student Council members. She uses a mech in battle. Apparently, she only mutters a made-up word 'Guga' in conversation. In the anime, Arnoul speaks for the first time in the final episode. In the light novel and the manga, it is revealed that she is also a Liradan, and that 'Guga' is encrypted speech.[16]

Antagonists[edit]

Eiko Teruya (照屋 栄子Teruya Eiko)
Voiced by: Satomi Satō (Drama CD), Haruka Tomatsu (anime) (Japanese); Stephanie Wittels (English)[3]
Eiko is a member of the Kōga Ninja Clan and is also a Suharist like Junko, her main rival. She has green-hair in a long ponytail. Mysterious and seductive, she has a habit of appearing seemingly from nowhere, then disappearing just as quickly. She often flirts with Akuto, but grows an intense dislike for him when she thinks he rejects her. She has a lust for power and assassinates her father to become the new head of her clan, leading an alliance between Teruya and Hattori's Iga Ninja Clan against the Demon King Akuto and his magic beasts. Throughout the final battle, Eiko attempts to rid herself of both the student council president, who knows she lied about her father dying to Akuto, and her rivals the Hattori sisters, but fails, and in the end is confronted by Junko, who tries to kill her. Korone suddenly appears and stops Junko from delivering the killing blow, allowing Eiko to run, until she runs into her father, who turned out to have survived her attack. When she asks how he survived, her now-cybernetic father says he couldn't allow himself to die knowing he raised his daughter wrong. Eiko falls to her knees in shame as Korone tells Junko the Teruya heiress must live so she can atone for her sins. In the specials, it's revealed she still has feelings for Akuto and continues teasing him like normal.
Boichiro Yamato (大和 望一郎Yamato Bōichirō)
Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki (Japanese); Leraldo Anzaldua (English)[3]

2V (ツーブイTsū Bui)
Voiced by: Tomoyuki Higuchi (Japanese); Barton Wentworth (English)
A member of CIMO8 who advises Eizo Teruya on how best to fight the Demon King and his demon beasts. Her ability is the manipulation of puppets, which she uses as stand-ins for her at all the times - mostly in the form of businessmen. Consequently, her true appearance is unknown. On occasion she can animate puppets that can produce their own mana. 2V is a male in the anime. She is the empress's twin sister.
