(L) Hataraku Maou-sama! （はたらく魔王さま！） [Light Novel]

[Used Can]

I knew Gabriel was a cool guy. I know there must have been something deeper Lucifer saw in him.
No homo.

Anyway, shmaster, do you think you could give us a slightly more detailed summary of Maou's talk with Suzuno, including her confession and Maou, apparently, turning her down?

If possible, I'd also like to know more about Emi's situation, plus those dreams she had, and some conversation she had with Alas and apparently with Emerada.

[Miraluka]

Sephiras has a double nature afaik.

That he finally understand that human needs to eat or they die of hunger, unlike demons who don't need to eat at all as they can simply live by their magic.
That is when he finally realized he had be making a huge mistake thinking he can rule the humanity simply through fear and power.

This is Maou's sin that he finally confessed. His own miscalculation has shorten the life span of the demon world as a whole. Then his misunderstanding on humanity had made his war and conquest into a mess. Ultimately, as a king, he failed his people. This is the guilt that has been dragging Maou behind.

The reason why Maou can't use his magic is unclear yet.
But the powers of the Sephira are most definitely NOT holy. This volume stress very hard on that point. The purplish power of the Sephira really belongs to a different category.
It is also Alsiel's realization over this specific fact that allowed him to figure out Gabriel's personal plan. (Gabriel has an ulterior motive that's different from the general plan of the Heaven)



Alsiel part is not accurate, there is no heavenly interrogation. He is very competent in this volume. Seeing right through Gabriel's agenda and devised a counter plan to resolve the current situation. His only failure this volume is getting beaten up by one of the Sephira. But hey, the Sephira pretty much can stomp everyone.

BTW, the general plan of the heave is to...

Spoiler:

Restart the war of human vs. demon and wipe out all opposition by doing so. So they gain control of Emi through the use of hostage and pit her against Alsiel. Alsiel, under the machination of Archangel Raquel, is also pinned into a situation that he must defend his kinsman and couldn't avoid battle. But he noticed Gabriel's personal motive in all of this and devised a counter plan by playing along with Gabriel's scenario. (BTW, Gabriel's trying to send a wake up call to his race, to let angels realize they have become corrupted. And this wake up call involve use of Maou and the Sephira.)

Maou can't use his power even after returning to Ente Isla!? What can he do then? And when was Alsiel captured?

Lowly humans are put under the angels' control and the evils demons perish. Natural order is restored.

[koalaz]

Mark my word!, in the end, it will be the riot between Angel vs Joint force of Human and Demon.

[NeutralZero]

Some angels joining them might also be possible
Like Emi's mon and such...

[kazzuya13]

I hope they continue to translate the LN.

Alsiel isn't captured and it looks like its because of Maou's daughter which is why he can't use his magic. Holy magic cancels his magic.

But I didn't expect a confession from Suzu.....

[kamikaze00007]

Uh, did nobody find it weird how Maou's boss at MgRonalds insists on having Maou call her by her name instead of her position? Am I just being paranoid or has Kisaki Mayumi been sending out some (member of your harem) signals to Maou during some of their encounters? Can anyone cite me some possible evidence from the LN? I found it really weird in the anime adaptation.

[Used Can]

Volume 10 of the LN will be out on December the 10th.
Volume 4 of the manga will be out on November 27th.
Volume 3 of the High-school spin-off will be out sometime during December.
It also seems that the 6th volume of the anime BD/DVDs will come with a new side-volume of the LN (apparently, volume 2.8). This will be during the 4th of December.

Alright guys, time to hunker down and wait out those last few days since it's almost December. I can't wait to hear what happens in the latest book and I hope they surprise us with a season 2 announcement.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

[Used Can]

Friendly reminder that volume 10 will be out in two days - well, half a day considering Japan's time.

Hopefully, we'll get some spoilers soon.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

This is a brief summary for the 10th vol.
This book concludes the Ente.Isla Arc.
There are 4 major situation in this book:

Spoiler for light spoiler:

1. Emi act as a hero because of the hostage and she must hunt the remaining demon. This will lead to the battle between ashiya and emi.
2. The union between ashes and maou cannot be done and maou's power never returned to him at all in ente isla. Both of them searching a way to return maou's power.
3. Both albert and suzuno leave maou and ashes to save emi''s dad and 統一蒼帝(looks like the king of human in ente.isla).
4. The last will be about chiho and amane (miki-t cousin).Amane will reveal her identity to chiho along with the circumstances.
Next i will tell you about what happened in the end of the novel. I'm going to eat first...

Thank you very much. Go ahead and take your time eating, I hope you enjoy it.

I can't wait to see what happens to Chiho. I hope she does get some sort of powers someday but I hope she doesn't turn into some sort of inhuman being like it was speculated way back when.
