It's also seen that he treats women with respect, and often doesn't appreciate constant advances. He also doesn't like being called "The Demon King" he can swing his hand and whole verse is gone
At other times, He has been shown to have a very violent personality with some evil overtones to it. But for good reasons. He sometimes gets into strange situations which portray him as a guy who wants to be the demon king.
Synopsis[]
Akuto Sai first met Junko Hattori after helping out her grandmother and Junko thought he was mugging her. Junko and Akuto seemed to bond over their strong sense of justice. Akuto and Junko entered into a pact. If their friendship is broken, it will result in Akuto's death. Akuto seems to admire Junko and tells her he hopes he's in her class.
When Akuto arrives at the school he meets his teacher Mitsuko Tori. When he is examined and given his future occupation he is declared the future Demon King. All of the other students seem very threatened by this and avoid Akuto, (except Ms. Tori who continuously bothers Akuto about killing himself and examining his body.) Akuto ends up being put in Junko's class but the class is afraid of Akuto. Akuto ends up in a duel with Junko and even though he tries to avoid fighting her, his horrible control of mana causes an explosion of energy.
Akuto meets Hiroshi Miwa who starts to call Akuto "big brother." Hiroshi convinces Akuto to climb Junko's window and attempt to apologize but Junko sees this as an attempt to humiliate her and chases after him. Akuto runs into Keena Soga and she promises to protect him from Junko for personal reasons. Akuto's terrible control of mana causes another horrible explosion and his "observer" Korone appears.
Korone brings Akuto to the principal who tells Korone to stay with Akuto so they can be prepared if he does become the Demon King. The following day Akuto meets Fujiko Eto, who tells Akuto that she will help him with anything that he needs. Later, Akuto goes to the bathroom calls Fujiko, and asks her to help him make amends with Junko.
Fujiko tells Akuto to meet her in the mountains behind the school, and how to turn off Korone. Akuto runs into a misunderstanding while trying to pull Korone's tail and turn her off, and a demon dog appears. Akuto manages to suck out the demon dog's mana and it turns into a regular dog. The regular dogs start chasing after Keena who just happened to be following Akuto while wearing a hairpin that turns her invisible. During the commotion, Akuto sees Korone's tail and manages to pull it, and she turns off.
Fujiko appears and suggests that Akuto join the disciplinary committee. Fujiko also gives Akuto a gun and some pills that she says will help Akuto and Junko understand each other. Keena; who is still running from the dog, naked, runs into Akuto right as he turns Korone back on. Korone, thinking Akuto has raped Keena threatens to turn him into the school and police, but he convinces Keena to tell her that it was her fault.
Akuto finds out about the school's underground after Hiroshi tells him in the school's bathhouse, and mentions how Junko Hattori fought down there to gain her popularity. After Hiroshi leaves, Korone asks him a kind of stupid question about sex. Fujiko Eto helps him get an arrangement to meet with Hattori in the underground. When he arrives at the rendezvous point, he is ambushed by a group of thugs who he quickly injures by crushing their bones. When he pins their leader against the wall with his chain, Hattori arrives, and well, she is convinced he is "betraying her" and when Keena intervenes later, they somehow end up friends again.
Akuto decides that learning to control his power is mandatory, and so, agrees to go into the isolation cell, only to be followed by Keena and Korone, when they lock in, Eto appears with intent to cause him to be under her complete control to do with as she pleases. In the chamber, they find a map, which Eto gets distracted by and runs off with. Keena photocopies these and posts them everywhere, when students come back injured, Akuto decides to go in and look for the "treasure", Hattori not much further behind.
A strange girl named Eiko Teruya follows them and causes problems. Akuto finds out that the labyrinth was once a treasure only the demon king could control and the tasks were set up by the council. Eto takes the key they found and awakens the Dragon Peterhausen, who takes Akuto on and loses. He swears to live under his command, and a picture is taken of the main characters and Peterhausen.
Akuto goes to the beach school and he notices Korone is acting strange, as she is constantly trying to seduce him.

Manga[]
The manga adaptation of Akuto was virtually identical to Light Novel and Anime counterparts. However, the manga ceased production at the event of Keno's kidnapping, leaving what happened unknown. Despite this, the manga concluded with a romantic resolution that was not present in either the Light Novel or Anime series.
Unlike in the other versions of the story, although initially shocked to learn that he had been led to the village for a marriage interview, Akuto and Junko actually talk things out. During the discussion, the couple acknowledge that they have feelings for each other and decide that they are not against the idea of getting married. As part of the discussion however, Akuto confesses that he also has feelings for Keena, Korone, Fujiko and Lily and that he plans to marry them as well. Junko is a little shocked at first, but quickly accepts this proposal. Thus, following a few misadventures with Eiko and Junko's father, the couple return to the Academy as fiances. Shortly after arriving, the couple calls the other four girls to Akuto's room. There, Akuto proposes to all four of them simultaneously, asking them to become his wives as well. Needless to say, the group are initially shocked at this proposition, but despite their varying reactions, they all accept. Although the series ended with Keno's kidnapping, just before that, there was a massive wedding and reception, which saw Akuto marry all five of his love interests, before setting out to rescue, one of his new wives.
