High School DxD enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting new content since the series went on hiatus in 2018. While there’s been a drought in anime updates, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon with the announcement of a potential sequel in the form of the “Junior High School DxD” light novel.

Set to debut later this May, the novel promises to continue the beloved storyline, possibly focusing on the descendant of Miyamoto Musashi who inherits a remarkable sentient blade. With the ability to absorb power from its foes, the weapon adds an intriguing twist to the familiar High School DxD universe.

While details about the novel’s format and series potential remain unclear, fans are eager to start this new chapter of the saga. However, many are still holding out for updates on the long-awaited fifth season of the anime, which has been delayed since its original 2020 schedule due to the impact of COVID-19.

In the meantime, die-hard fans can get back into the rich narrative of the mainline Light Novel series to satisfy their craving for more High School DxD content. Yet, there’s an undeniable allure to experiencing the story unfold on screen, making the wait for the anime’s return all the more palpable.
