How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, also known as “Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu,” is a fantasy isekai anime containing ecchi and harem elements based on a series of Japanese light novels written by Yukiya Murasaki and drawn by Takahiro Tsurusaki.
The protagonist, a Japanese hikikomori gamer called Takuma Sakamoto, is beckoned into the virtual world of his favorite massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by two female characters, one a pantherian and the other an elf. They cast a spell to make him their servant, but the ring the protagonist wears reflects the power back to the females, who find themselves with collars around their necks.

‘How Not to Summon a Demon Lord’ is not one of the most popular anime out there. MyAnimeList users scored the first season 6.86/10 and the second season 6.72/10.

Anime based on isekai novels is an unusual genre. Some series, like Danmachi, receive a new season pretty much every year, while others, like No Game, No Life, haven’t had a new season in over a decade. However, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord has been renewed for a second season, so here’s hoping the show continues to do well.
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Story
Hikikomoto player Takuma Sakamoto had a strange encounter with the Demon Lord Diablo, who appears as his own character in the MMORPG Cross Reverie. Takuma’s summoners, pantherian Rem and elf Shera, try to enslave him with a spell, but the spell is reflected by his magic ring’s “Magic Reflection” ability and instead sticks magic collars around the girls’ necks, making them his servants.
Takuma, suffering from severe social anxiety, decides to act out his character whenever possible, using his high stats and extensive knowledge of Cross Reverie’s lore to make his way through his new environment and aid Rem and Shera in their search for a way to free themselves from their slave collars.

How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Season 2 Recap
Season 2 of How Not to Summon a Demon Lord saw Diablo assuring Rem that he would start looking for a wedding band for her. Shera’s boasting to Rem about her jewelry sparked a new mission for Diablo. But that’s not all Diablo has to worry about. He found out that the Demon King had been defeated by God, who then shut him away until a hero would come along who could defeat him. God, however, also provided a means by which the seal might be broken.
It is possible that the remnants of the Demon Lord’s soul that are still lodged inside Rem’s body may be exorcised via a ritual handed down from the Dark Elves and known to the Demon Lord, Diablo. Despite the violence and oppression they have endured, these elves still manage to look beautiful. However, in order to become queen of the Kingdom of Greenwood, Shera must first wed an elf.
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Season 3 Plot
When we last left Diablo and company, they were engaged in a fierce struggle against the Vishos. Diablo easily triumphed since he is the overpowering and damaged protagonist of an Isekai. Lumachina stayed to fix up the chapel, while Diablo promised to go ring shopping for Rem since he had nothing else to do.
The second season concludes around the seventh volume of the light novel, and the following arc in the plot will focus on Shera’s growth as a character. After that, Diablo will go on a mission that takes him to the Dark Elf territory, where he’ll eventually meet Modinaram, who has much improved since their last encounter. As one would expect, they then proceed to fight it out like grown men.
Where to watch How Not to Summon a Demon Lord?
Funimation and Crunchyroll have the streaming rights to How to Not Summon a Demon Lord, so you may watch it there. When Season 3 premieres, I’m hoping those services will carry it as well.
conclusion
Season 2’s potential was amplified by the show’s radical course correction and the introduction of many new cast members. I believe the program has lived up to its reputation and is continuing with its mind-boggling and intriguing narrative, despite the high hopes that anime fans have had for the previous three years. There is little doubt that the captivating plot will continue in a chronicle of authority and dominance. The first few chapters have been well received, and readers are eager for the rest of the narrative.
