The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody

Thousands of years ago, in an age long since forgotten, Varvatos was so absurdly powerful that humanity just started calling him the Demon Lord. Not because he was evil — he was just that far above everyone else. The problem? Being the strongest person alive is lonely. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who could accidentally erase them from existence. So Varvatos reincarnates as Ard Meteor, planning to live a quiet, average life as a regular villager. One small issue: magic has declined so much over three millennia that his idea of "holding back" still makes him the most powerful person around. He enrolls in a magic academy alongside his childhood friend Ireena, a noble's daughter, and eventually a succubus named Ginny latches onto him too. The whole setup is Ard genuinely trying to be normal and failing spectacularly every time, while threats from the old era keep surfacing. This 12-episode TV series from SILVER LINK. and Blade is pretty straightforward about what it is — an action-fantasy school show with harem elements and a reincarnated overpowered lead who just wants people to treat him like a regular guy. If you liked The Misfit of Demon King Academy, this covers very similar ground with its own spin on the "ancient demon lord in a modern school" formula. Fans of In Another World With My Smartphone or The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest will also feel right at home. It's comfort food isekai-adjacent fantasy — not reinventing anything, but it knows what it's doing.
