The TV anime series High School DxD is created by studio TNK, based on a light novel series authored by Ichiei Ishibumi and illustrated by Miyama-Zero. The story follows Issei Hyoudou, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student who is killed by a girl on his first date ever. Issei is reincarnated as a devil, and from that day forward, he serves as an underling of Riasu, a high-level devil who is also the prettiest girl on Issei's campus. The anime is airing in Japan from January 2012.
