There is no difference between the original Demon Lord Retry manga and the Demon Lord Retry R manga, unlike the Demon Lord Retry / Demon Lord Retry R anime.

What to Expect From The Demon Lord Retry Source Material Compared to The Anime?
While Demon Lord Retry is a lighter sort of isekai that doesn’t take itself too seriously, the light novel and manga does take the story more seriously than the anime does.
The anime shaves off so many details that Demon Lord Retry stops seemingly like an actual fantasy adventure, which is it, and starts seemingly like the characters are going through the motions in order to get to the next moment where they can say something off-the-cuff and comedic.
It is strongly recommended if you did like the story more than the comedy that you read the light novels or manga from the beginning.
Will There Be A Demon Lord Retry Season 2?
