Yen Press currently describes the manga 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?
Currently, there is no definite release timeline for the upcoming Dead Mount Death Play anime. It is, however, expected to be released in 2023.
