Steaming platform HiDIVE will air Nanaki Nanao’s Helck as the anime version airs in Japan. The adapted manga hits the small screens on July 11th and will run for half a year.
There’s a high-octane trailer out with parts of “It’s My Soul”, the opening theme by Hiroki Nanami, audible in it.
You don’t have to wait for the story, as Viz Media brought the English adaption of the manga out this year, and it’s available on Amazon.
It’s Viz who gives us a summary of what to expect;
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!
Helck’s written story is finished. The series began in 2014 on Manga ONE and Ura Sunday, wrapping after an impressive 12 volumes in 2017.
