Anyway on the story, the new character looks like a knight from a holy order formed within the church. I saw the resemblance between her and Agrias (FF tactics) or Saber (Fate) already. I guess maybe she and the heroes were former pals seeing that he’s also protecting the church from demons. I foresee a possible love triangle between the hero, demon queen and the knight woot. Also am I the only one who thought that the walrus general looked badass?

Your not the only one. That Walrus look badass especially since he commanded an army of sea creatures that would make Aquaman proud.

And as for the potential love triangle, i like it since it will be funny to see those two get the Hero's attention.

It was surprising to see how strong the Hero really is. I mean, I assumed he had to be one of THE strongest human warriors(if not THEE strongest) since he made it all the way to the Demon Queen's castle and didn't look beaten/tired. But seeing him in action, he's more powerful than he looks (O.O).

Not at all. He looks badass, but two factors that got me REALLY interested in him is that a)DQ fought him, yet how she described him is as if she def had a hard time against him and b)Hero referring to him as a "geezer", which can certainly mean he's fought him before. Considering how immensely powerful Hero and DQ is, and the fact that he survived, it will be interesting to actually see how a battle against him really is.

I think you misread, Hero said he had fought him a couple times, not the Demon Queen. Demon Queen just said that she had trouble ordering him to do things since he is all for killing all humans.

Ah, you're right. I do not even remember seeing Hero on that particular panel. That's what I get for speed reading at work (>,<). Thanks for the clarification =03.

Upon reading it myself, he's actually got what I call one of the problems of the male leads in most manga for the past few years- dense as all hell (the other problem being unable to make a decision, or at least taking the next step in a romantic relationship)

[Von Himmel]

I never expected for him to be able to use teleportation magic Well, he did decide to solo the demon queen

[Bonta Kun]

God I love this Demon Queen, she's just win!

I love that Walrus general dude, it's so different.

Really liking this now, the heavy dialogue isn't off putting for me, there are some series that can make HD work and this is one of them.

And nice little cliffhanger, hawt nuns are always a +

[jzmagic]

Just started reading this after seeing this thread, I like the premise of testing economic theory, look forward to more demon queen/hero development as well.

[MrTerrorist]

Apparently there's an official 4koma comic about this series over here.

Also, a TVTropes characters page has been created. If you want help out, click here.

[Magin]

To throw my next two cents in- this is an awesome series! Not only is the economic situation more easily understood than Spice and Wolf ever explained (holy shit, we're learning something from a manga!), the Demon Queen is hot as all hell, and the guys in this (outside of the youngsters) are badass... even if the Hero is more than just a bit on the dense side (can't get everything, I suppose...). Plus their interactions, as was mentioned, are absolute WIN.

I hope ch.4 gets scanlated soon.. I need more NAO

[Ravenblitz]

Well, you know how teleportation magic works; got have seen/been in the place to be able to warp to it. I wouldn't be surprised if he practically walked to the demon queen's castle and kicked ass all the way to her chamber.

Funny you should mention that cause that's what he did in the Comic Clear Version.

Well..I thought he was kinda weak like your usual shonen hero at the beginning of the series But it looks like he managed to get level 99 with epic equipment right in chapter 1

Funny you should mention that cause that's what he did in the Comic Clear Version.

Read it here

...by the maker! Oh btw, I just noticed that the nun in chapter 3 is there in the chapter 1 of clear version

[Merilyn Mensola]

ì'm intersted in this series...
The story seems good...and original
The demon Queen x Hero...hahah...
will be fun to see the development between them..
And..The Demon Queen..is Hot!

[Xagzan]

Did anyone else notice that no one in this series seems to have an actual name beyond their title?

And come on Hero! Tell her she's not unattractive already. They already act like a couple, might as well acknowledge it.

[Irenicus]

Yes, well, I'm pretty sure at some point they will reveal that the hero's real name is Elizabeth.

Although I'm curious if Miss Nun/Crusader would break that trend. So far the only thing I remember being named is the village itself, actually.

[Somnus]

What...what is this brilliance?

Insta-pairing of an incredible female AND male lead (with ACTUAL romantic interaction, no less!), a story that's a breath of fresh air, and superb artwork (I like the translated version the best).

Most of my thoughts on this one have already been said, and I'm really enjoying the DQ. She had me at the first, "Re-really?".

Again, the actual interaction and development between the two right off the get go adds to the "freshness" of the series. Really digging the "I'm yours" bits. Not to mention the lack of unnecessarily extreme shyness and awkwardness at the most basic things. Not saying it's not there, but the fireplace scene in Ch. 2 and 3 beat out the interaction found (or missing) in a fair share of the "romance" based manga out there.

This is something I'm going to enjoy for sure.

Chapter 5 from the Comic Clear version is out.

Chapter 5

Spoiler for ch5:

As suspected, the nun is actually the Hero's ex companion (A Knight or Paladin i think) and the other companions are an old Rogue and a young Witch. The first thing she does after finally seeing the Hero is punch him! Whoa, she really took him leaving them that bad. Anyway, it looks the Queen and the Nun/Knight form a friendship and might help with the potato farming for the village.

[Xacual]

Spoiler for Chapter 4 is out:

Putting spoilers since I'm the first post on the chapter. So we learn quite a bit here. Magician Girl went off after Hero when he disappeared into the Demon World. We also have some kind of time frame for everything now. At the start of the chapter it had been about a year since Hero left his party behind, but then chapter skipped over winter, spring and summer was mentioned at the end for when the Lake Order's monastery was built.

I feel bad for Lady Knight though. She came to see and be with Hero again only to find out that he once again ran off. It also looks like her and Demon Queen recognized each other as rivals.

Also Hero being a Demon Lord substitute and wearing badass armor while looking for Magician Girl will be awesome.
