Dropkick on my Devil! started out as an obscure and incredibly wild manga series back in April of 2012. It seemed like enough of a miracle that the manga would go on to inspire an anime in 2018, but now that miracle has turned into an outright explosion of success. Not only is a special OVA episode and an entire second season of the Dropkick on my Devil! anime arriving in April, but now Memory Inc. has announced that a “casual idle RPG” smartphone game based on the series is also on the way.
Titled Jashin-chan Dropkick ~Jinbōchō Hōchi Daisakusen~ (Dropkick on My Devil! Jinbōchō Idle Great Mission), the newly announced smartphone game has a bevy of features that are sure to please fans of the series. The game will tell a brand new story, rather than retread existing material from the manga and anime. Fans will also appreciate the collectible “Spirit Characters” in the game, who all boast a variety of original costumes and outfits never seen before. While the gameplay is described as being an idle RPG, competitive players will also be able to participate in player versus player content. Finally, the entire voice cast from the anime adaptation is set to reprise their roles for the game.
A description of Dropkick on My Devil!, according to MAL:
The demon Jashin-chan has been summoned to Earth by Yurine Hanazono, a girl with a knack for the occult. Unfortunately, Yurine does not actually know how to send Jashin-chan back to Hell. Now stuck on Earth, she must live at Yurine’s apartment as her familiar.
The only way for Jashin-chan to return would be to kill her summoner, but this is easier said than done for the incompetent demon. Since Jashin-chan is immortal and can regenerate her body, Yurine does not hold back in attacking her with a range of weapons, punishing her in gruesome manners for her evil schemes. Jashin-chan is also often visited by her demon friends: the kindhearted Gorgon Medusa and the energetic minotaur Minosu, who seem much more well-behaved in contrast, and disapprove of her plans to kill Yurine.
Jashin-chan Dropkick is a comedy focusing on these two reluctant roommates and their bizarre antics as they get by with their cat-and-mouse relationship.
