I'm Dating a Dark Summoner

Roni spots Amona on the school roof during lunch and sees exactly what she needs to avoid: a boy summoning skeletons from thin air. Instead of screaming or calling security, she decides his awkwardness is cute. This moment kicks off I'm Dating a Dark Summoner, a manga by Shaoh that swaps apocalyptic horror for high school slice-of-life comedy. The series launched in November 2021 under Fujimi Shobo's Dra Dra Sharp imprint and has collected seven volumes as of March 2026.

Shaoh draws undead familiars with clean lines that make them look adorable rather than scary. The plot skips the usual enemies-to-lovers drama and jumps straight into a secret romance where necromancy creates daily friction. A cinema date might get interrupted by a rogue poltergeist, or a café visit could involve a skeleton trying to order coffee. While the story includes ecchi elements, the core focus remains on Roni normalizing her boyfriend's dark magic within her mundane life.

Readers on BookLive praise the emotional warmth between the characters, though some critics note the early chapters rely heavily on single-page gags before the narrative tightens. English-speaking fans often compare the low-stakes supernatural approach to The Devil is a Part-Timer!. No official English translation exists yet, but the series has built a loyal following through scanlations. An anime adaptation produced by AtoriE is scheduled to debut in October 2026. [edit]
