The series tells the story of an otherwise ordinary human being named Takuma Sakamoto, who is mysteriously transported to the world of his favorite MMORPG "Cross Reverie," wherein he is lauded as a powerful Demon Lord by his fellow players.
Takuma will take on the appearance he has in the game and will meet two girls who both claim to be his Summoner. The girls have performed an Enslavement Ritual in an attempt to turn him into their Summon, but then irony strikes. Instead of being enslaved by the girls, Takuma ends up being their master owing to the sudden activation of his passive ability.
However, even though he has built himself up to be the strongest Sorcerer in this world, he is still plagued with questions over how to interact with the people around him. But everything will start to fall into place when he decides to let the questions go and start acting like his persona from the game.
More information about "Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu," including the official cast and crew list and release date will be revealed in the coming months.
