How Not to Summon a Demon Lord (Episode 2) – The Strongest Newcomer
It’s time to join the adventurer’s guild and go on a quest. Looks like Diablo appears to have his hands full with Shera and Rem… well, definitely with Shera!
The Strongest Newcomer
Diablo wakes up in a strange bed and remembers that he’s been summoned to the world resembling Cross Reverie. Then as he tries to wake up, he also notices that he’s lying between Rem and Shera and he may have just accidentally touched Shera’s boob… How is he going to explain this? Well, at least he hasn’t done anything to Rem…
Having recovered from the morning incident, Rem takes Shera and Diablo to register with the Adventurer’s Guild. That way they’ll be able to go on quests and earn some money. Maybe even enough for separate rooms. Diablo fries to the level assessment mirror and almost gets excluded from the guild, but it just so happens there’s a mission that would be ideal for them…
Episode Thoughts
Brilliant. This episode was great. It had some quality ecchi moments combined with the hilarious comedy of Diablo’s social anxiety combined with his attempts to maintain his edgy demon lord persona. The two seem to work together to make even the most inappropriate scenes funny. Throw in Diablo’s power level and the ever delightful Rem and Shera and this series is just a joy to watch, even on my second viewing.
