Season 1 Synopsis: Rentaro Aijo was rejected 100 times in middle school. He visits a shrine and prays for better luck in high school. The God of Love appears and promises that he’ll soon meet 100 people he’s destined to date. But there’s a catch—once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other.

The Demon King’s army, made up of The Four Heavenly Kings, holds power over a particular alternate world. Uchiruma Dennosuke, an average salaryman, is met with an unexpected career change when he is made the fourth Heavenly King, the direct outcome of being personally headhunted by the Demon King’s Army. Uchimura starts right away at a director-level position but quickly learns how demanding work in the Demon King’s Army really is, which is life and death. As an average man with no special powers or extraordinary abilities, Unchimura must overcome every obstacle thrown his way with nothing but his knowledge and experience as a salaryman! This story of shifting careers is for all the average individuals at work around the globe. Airing in January 2025, the premise of Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four is a breath of fresh air in the isekai genre.
Blessed with natural charm and beauty, Kawai Mona is without a doubt the cutest girl in school. As cute as she is, winning the affection of fellow classmates has never been easier. That is, until the new transfer student Kuroiwa Medaka shows up. Medaka poses a genuine challenge for Mona, as he shows zero interest in her despite her obvious beauty. Bewildered by Medaka’s indifference, Mona makes it her mission to get Medaka to fall for her. She’s always scheming different ways to catch his eye, no matter how silly or extreme it gets. This rom-com will appeal to fans who enjoyed “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K” as it embraces the same quirky humor and character dynamics that made the latter anime popular in the comedy genre.
