'How Not to Summon a Demon Lord' is a popular series with 14 novel volumes and 28 comic volumes released as of the time of writing, and has sold over 4 million copies in total. The story follows Sakamoto Takuma, the protagonist who was known as the 'Demon Lord' for his overwhelming strength in a game, as he is reincarnated into another world in his game form. He takes two girls, Shera and Rem, who claim to be his summoners, as his slaves, and calls himself 'Demon Lord Diablo,' advancing with absolute power.

Comments from Masaaki Mizunaka (voice of Diablo), Yu Serizawa (voice of Shera), and Azumi Waki (voice of Rem) are as follows.

Diablo's role: Masaaki Mizunaka

'How Not to Die' is a very special and meaningful work for me, as it was the first time I had the opportunity to play a leading role in an anime. I couldn't be happier to hear that a third season has been decided. I will do my best to make sure everyone enjoys it, just as I did with the first season! Please look forward to the anime broadcast!



Shera L. Greenwood: Yu Serizawa

W-What?! I'm so glad I didn't give up!!! I'm truly grateful for all the support and love!!! How Not to Die is a work that has given me so many firsts. There were scenes I couldn't show my dad, I met and fell in love with Azumi Waki, who plays Rem, I got to sing the ending theme as my first single, I collaborated with a senior artist at avex, and it always gives me new encounters and experiences. I wonder what will happen in season 3... I can't wait!!! Please look forward to it!



Rem Galleu's role: Azumi Waki

Season 3!?!? Thank you, thank you so much!! I'm so happy to be able to work on this beloved series again with my beloved characters and everyone I love. I'm looking forward to having lots of little, cute squabbles with Shera again after so long. I'm going to put Rem down now and tackle the recording so that I can give an even bolder performance than before!

The Henoko capsizing accident was a 'rare man-made disaster': A rebuttal to Governor Tamaki's statement that it was 'categorized as a protest boat' Okinawa Reflections (64) Naoki Otake, Naha Bureau Chief - Sankei News

The reason I focused on whether or not a business was registered is because, during my time as a social affairs reporter, I covered the sinking of a tourist boat off the coast of the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido and witnessed the strong desire of the bereaved families to prevent such a tragic accident from ever happening again. The Shiretoko tourist boat sinking in April 2022 resulted in the deaths and disappearances of 26 passengers and crew members. A bereaved family member from Fukuoka Prefecture appealed for 'strict checks to be made.' In response to these bereaved families and public opinion, the Maritime Transportation Act was amended, and the law was extended to small, non-passenger vessels like the overturned protest boat. Registration became mandatory regardless of whether the vessel was paid or unpaid.

Nevertheless, because the protest group had not registered its operations, it had not established 'safety management regulations' that would define criteria for deciding whether to set sail based on wind speed and wave height, leaving the decision to depart entirely up to the captain. In other words, it had slipped through the cracks of the law and was operating 'unchecked.'
