The series began as a web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro that has been published since February 22, 2016.
A manga adaptation by Anajiro began serialization on Futabasha’s Gaugau Monster website on July 12, 2019. Eleven tankobon volumes have been released as of June 2024. Happinet confirmed that the anime will adapt the manga’s storyline instead of the original light novels.
Happinet describes the synopsis of The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army was a Human as:
Ike is known as “the strongest magician in the demon king’s army” and is single-handedly conquering fortresses. The way he mows down the enemies with his immense magic truly makes him a “monster” feared by both allies and foes alike. However, he has a secret that he cannot tell other demons. “I’m actually human.”
