The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace

"The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace" (Japanese: 平穏世代の韋駄天達, Hepburn: Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi) is a Japanese manga series written by Amahara [ja] and illustrated by Coolkyousinnjya. It was serialized in Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal from August 2018 to August 2024, with its chapters collected in nine tankōbon volumes. It is a remake of Amahara's online manga of the same name, which he started in 2008 and stopped updating in 2016. An 11-episode anime television series adaptation by MAPPA aired from July to October 2021 on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block. The story is set 800 years ago when humanity was on the brink of extinction. Their prayers were answered with the creation of the Idaten, a race of deities. The Idaten defeated the demons using their immense endurance and god-like powers, bringing peace to humanity. However, the new generation of Idaten today knows little of the demons and lives a peaceful life. Under the guidance of Rin, the only surviving Idaten from 800 years ago, the new Idaten find ways to survive in an era where they seem to have outlived their purpose. But when the tyrannical Zoble Empire resurrects a demon, the misfit gods are called back to the battlefield against their natural enemy.
