Description
The Hero Life of a (Self-Proclaimed) Mediocre Demon! 1 introduces us to Chrono Alkon, a self-proclaimed mediocre demon. Now that he's reached 20 years of age, Chrono is eager to embark on his mandatory year of schooling in the Demon King's castle. It's his dream to spend the year having fun and making friends. However, when he receives a shocking result in his class designation test, that dream is put in jeopardy.
To complicate matters, Chrono hails from a small, remote village, leaving him with little sense of what is considered "normal" at school. As the resident country bumpkin, he finds himself tangled in maddening misunderstandings and unexpected adventures. Will this "mediocre" demon ever have the peaceful school life he's always desired, or will he be derailed by demons who understand him better than he understands himself?
Despite appearing as nothing more than a country boy, Chrono Alkon is, in fact, one of the most powerful demons the world has ever seen. All he wants is to attend school like any other kid, but when the Demon King discovers Chrono's power, he'll have to spend his days studying and his nights battling monsters in the dungeons...?!
This hit fantasy adventure manga comes to print, perfect for fans of Goblin Slayer, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
