Junior High School DxD Light Novel Gets 2024 Release Window

High School DxD's official Twitter, now X, was updated with the final release date for Junior High School DxD. And so, the light novel comes out with its first outing on May 17, 2024. Moreover, the title of the first volume of the LN is going to be 'The Transfer Student is a Samurai Girl.' The series is authored by Rippū Shinonome and illustrated by Miyama-Zero.

What will be the plot?

As reported by Anime Trending, the storyline of Junior High School DxD will revolve around Miyamoto Musashi. After entering school, the seemingly normal girl will come under the possession of a magical sword. And this is where her normal life will turn upside down.

The powers of this sword are revealed to be that of absorbing the powers of an opponent and giving it to the wielder. But the catch here is the fact that all of the powers are then stored in the owner's chest. As this happens, the powers start to hinder Miyamoto's plan of making friends and socializing.

And so, it will be interesting to see how the story pans out in the chapters and volumes that come ahead.
