Story of boy killed on 1st date, resurrected as underling of high-level female devil
The Japanese production company Media Factory began streaming a 131-second promotional video for the television anime adaptation of Ichiei Ishibumi's High School DxD light novel series on Friday. The video features the song "Trip -innocent of D-" by the musical group Larval Stage Planning. Tetsuya Yanagisawa is directing at the anime studio TNK with script writer Takao Yoshioka and character designer Junji Goto.
The story follows Issei Hyōdō, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student who is killed by a girl on his first date ever. Issei (Yuuki Kaji) is reincarnated as a devil, and from that day forward, he serves as an underling of Riasu (Yōko Hikasa), a high-level devil who is also the prettiest girl on Issei's campus.
