Overview
Ryusei Narukami was once a feared Demon King, but after losing to the hero he has settled into a very different life: a shut-in NEET with no battles left to fight. His quiet routine is turned upside down when Meteor Hanaori, the hero who once defeated him, reappears, reincarnated and still determined to fight him in their next life.
Based on a manga, this 12-episode comedy plays the old rivalry for laughs, pairing a reluctant former Demon King with a rival who refuses to let their unfinished business go. It is a light, fast-moving series about pride, rivalry and the awkwardness of facing an old enemy in an ordinary new life.
