Dead Mount Death Play – Key Visual

Dead Mount Death Play is based on a manga series by Ryogo Narita with art from Shinta Fujimoto. The manga has been serialized in Square Enix’s bimonthly magazine Young Gangan since October 2017. The series released the first compiled volume in April 2018 and the latest, tenth volume, on November 25, 2022.

Yen Press licensed the manga for English release and published eight volumes as of September 2022. The official website describes the plot of the first volume as:
It’s a showdown for the ages as the legendary hero takes on the corpse god necromancer, but when the dust settles, something isn’t quite right… In the final moments of their epic confrontation, the corpse god’s final gambit shot was wholly unexpected — reincarnation magic! Across space and time, a boy named Polka Shinoyama awakens feeling…not quite himself…… Who could’ve expected that the climactic battle between good and evil would turn out like this??
