The Demon Prince Goes to the Academy

Humor and Lighthearted Moments Despite its intense and dramatic tone, The Demon Prince Goes to the Academy also knows how to inject humor and lighthearted moments into the story.

These comedic moments balance the darker themes of the series, ensuring the manga never feels too heavy. The humor is well-timed and often used to highlight the unique personalities of the characters.

Reserved for elite students who each excel in their unique talent, the Royal Class is a special class in the Temple, an educational institution responsible for training the empire's best of the best. After the ultimate victory of humans in a long war against the demon race, a new generation of warriors prospers with the simple-minded but passionate Ludwig at its helm. However, this is merely the setting of a fantasy web novel that was never properly completed. The 30-year-old author of this rather dull novel is reincarnated into its doomed world. He is now the 17-year-old son of the Demon King, weak and bound to die soon. Knowing his destiny, he immediately takes actions that change the plot and, with the help of some demonic allies, creates a new identity for himself. As a blond human boy named Reinhart with an unusual special power, he enrolls in the Royal Class—where all the protagonists and villains are—to study, train, and finally reach the story's ending.

Upon dying, the author of “The Demon King is Dead” is given two choices: go to hell or be reborn in his novel and survive till the end.

The problem? He’s reborn as Baalier Junior, a weak demon prince, after his realm was conquered! To make things worse, his attempt to escape somehow gets him enrolled as a student of the Royal Class in Gradias Temple, a prestigious human school.

In the midst of plotlines and political schemes, can this author keep his identity a secret and reach a happy ending?
