On the official site for the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Shu and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma, Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha (The Misfit of Demon King Academy), it was announced that the second season will be restarted from its first episode on July 8 in Japan.
Consequentlybecause it was originally suspended from its sixth episode, then the series “will really resume” (that is, it will broadcast its seventh episode) until next August 19, which implies a six-month delay due to COVID-19. It should be remembered that this second season will last for two arcs (two quarters) that will be issued separately.
For its part, the first season premiered during the season of Summer-2020 (July-September) in Japan and had a total of thirteen episodes, while crunchyroll is in charge of its distribution in the West. Shu began publishing the novels on the independent service Shoutsuka ni Narou in April 2017, and then through stamp Dengeki Bunko from the publisher kadokawa in March 2018, with illustrations by Yoshinori Shizuma.

Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha Synopsis
In the distant past, a war between humans and demons caused widespread chaos and bloodshed. To end this seemingly endless conflict, the Demon King Anos Voldigoad willingly sacrificed his life, hoping to be reborn in a peaceful future. In preparation for the king’s return from him, the demon race created the Demon King Academy, an elite institution tasked with determining Anos’s identity when he awakens. He is reincarnated two millennia later, but to his surprise, he soon discovers that the level of magic in the world has drastically decreased during his absence.
Also, when he enrolls in the academy to claim his rightful title, he discovers that the demons remember him differently. His personality, his facts and even his legacy are falsified, masked under the name of an impostor. This “lack” of common knowledge makes him the outlier of the academy, a misfit never before seen in history. Despite these drawbacks, Anos is unfazed. As he sets out to uncover those who alter his glorious past, he takes it upon himself to make his descendants recognize that his ruler has finally returned.
