One Peace Books announced today that they have acquired the license for The Death Mage (Japanese Title: The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time) light novel and manga!
The light novel is slated to be released on September 27. The manga does not have a release date as of yet but is targeted for a 2023 release.
This highly anticipated series stars high school student Hiroto Amemiya reborn as Vandal the dhampir after suffering horrific, unimaginable misfortune in his first two lives on Earth and the sci-fi world of Origin. Determined to make the most of his third life and enormous reserve of magical power, Vandal learns the previously unknown death attribute magic—but will it be enough to be able to live in happiness with his new mother, who gives him the only love he has ever known?
One Peace Books’ official synopsis of The Death Mage is as follows:
After Hiroto Amamiya dies on a school trip, the god of reincarnation, Rodocolte, sends the unfortunate student into a second life. There he obtains death attribute magic, but after more than a decade of torment, his second life also ends in tragedy, after which Rodocolte reincarnates Hiroto once more for a third life—again without any special powers. Adamantly swearing that there definitely won’t be a fourth time around, Hiroto uses his vast reserves of magical power and the special death attribute magic from his previous life to live as a dhampir called Vandal.
