Title: Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Kono Watashi no Mono Tonare, Yuusha yo" "Kotowaru"

Quote:
Description: "After a long and treacherous journey, our Hero finally arrives at the Dark Lady’s castle only to find himself being asked for help. The Hero explains how the war that the demons have brought upon the humans have killed thousands and put more in misery. The queen of demons however argues that this war has made the human society band together as one and showed empirical evidence how it has [05:14] increased population, increased production, boosted economy and improved society overall. Furthermore, she explains to the Hero that ending this war will result in a civil war that will produce more bloodshed than there ever was. The Hero, convinced that the only way to bring peace, relatively speaking, is to join forces with the Dark Lady, agrees to help with her plans! [vyc]"
- Taken from extras scans (did I get the scanlator names right? )
Long title is long :heh: I got this accidentally from my friend, and it's actually quite interesting. I was thinking that it's going to be the usual demon-hero romance plot but then the demon queen starts 'explaining things' :p


damn economy and their conspiracy

Really liking the first chapter so far.
Apparently the original story was posted on 2ch on a whim and the author published it due to the positive response it received. Four light novel volumes and multiple manga adaptions are out.

I'm always interested in good authors from outside the usual sphere of 'author origin', those that are also readers who can look and react to the public perceptions of the current state of the fiction market.
Especially in such a trope-heavy setting as the anime/manga one, and the even more trope-saturated fantasy setting, such sharply-observed subversions while still keeping the charm that the original genre had are very welcome.

frubam 2011-07-01 07:48
Another powerful-demon-queen-joins-almighty-hero story? Well I'm def game =03!

Von Himmel 2011-07-01 08:23
Well, not exactly normal demon and hero story though :heh: Their world concept is pretty..unique.

Read the first chapter and loved it. Always the ones that put realism and practicality into it that are the most interesting, looking forward to more.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are at least two.

The scangroup decided to pick the one with the better art.

if im not wrong there 3 different version.

the comp ace version, see pic above

the ChampRed Version here:



and the Fami2 Version

^It's interesting how different artists can give the same storyline completely different impressions. The demon queen in the version above looks more like a holy priestess (...with horns!), while the one in the scanlated version has more of an I'm-smart-and-I-know-it impression. :heh:

I lol'd at the first chapter though. Our poor hero didn't stand a chance. She's got the arguments, she's got the data, she's got the, ah, "looks," and she's got that totally unfair upward glance and pout which no man can withstand (a real life oft-used weapon, to be fair).

DarkFreedom 2011-07-01 11:23
Only thing, the holy priestess horn are fake

Irenicus 2011-07-01 11:48
Yeah, I noticed she doesn't have it on the cover (2nd pic). What's up with that anyway?

They're fake horns is really it. Some of the light novel art has her holding a headband with the horns on it. Actually it's in the manga chapter if you got it from the scanlator's site.

DarkFreedom 2011-07-01 12:11
Thats right

Mizuno 2011-07-01 18:04
What kind of deal is that? I would take it and run. :naughty::heh:

Bonta Kun 2011-07-01 21:32
Ohh this is pretty interesting, you don't get enough interesting demon queen stories:p

She's got it all huh, my kinda women:D

This reminds me of a setting I've wanted to see for some time but never had any luck finding. Guess it's off to the suggestion forum!

frubam 2011-07-01 22:54
Read the first chapter, and I greatly liked it =03. It was definitely interesting how they depicted the war being beneficial to both mankind AND demons. The demon queen herself was excellent(Iren said it perfectly =03). I'll be waiting to see how their teaming up will affect the future of the world, and if manipulating both sides will be a part of it.

:heh: so true, the latter one doesn't look like a demon queen at all, yet the former one def screams out "maou". I would imagine in the latter one, upon seeing her face for the first time, the hero would say "(O.o) YOU'RE the demon queen!?!?" :heh:

Well, I didn't think so by the description, but I was specifically referring to Superior. Actually, other than that manga, I don't know of any other stories that have this kind of setup =03.

ZODDGUTS 2011-07-02 00:39
One more version:

JamesEdwards 2011-07-02 00:43
Anyone reminded of Wolf and Spice in a good way? (Or was it Spice and Wolf?)

Mizuno 2011-07-02 00:50
The one published in Kadokawa is the best imo. I prefer that style more.

MrTerrorist 2011-07-02 02:23
Now this is a good medieval fantasy manga.

I like these kind of stories on how war actually has an effect in the economy and it's benefits for the players in the war.

What the Queen said made sense socially and economically on why both sides want to keep the war ongoing. Heck, it actually happen in the USA during WW2.

Can't wait to read more adventures of the Demon Queen and the Hero.

PS: Here's the novels official website and it's Japanese wiki article.

the first chapter got me really interested, i really want to know how things go on from there on.

Which one is that?

I really like the look of the one ZODDGUTS posted but theres a certain charm to the one we got atm, I think it's the "totally unfair upward glance and pout which no man can withstand":p

And the other one doesn't look bad but by looks of it be alot funnier than other 2.

I, too, really REALLY loved the way the demon queen sold herself. Usually, when a character does this, they sound all arrogant and haughty, like some tsundere(usually BECAUSE its a tsundere), but the demon queen was very endearing, honest, and humble. No matter how angled her 'upward glances' were, I got the feeling that the hero would not fall for any trickery lightly, but he saw these elements in her behavior and decided to place his fate in her hands. It was actually quite romantic in a way.

I agree.
was really interesting as the first ch and I must admit I really like how the whole situation took place.
This will be one of those manga interesting to read especially thanks the interaction that there will bebetween the two protagonists.
I mean it is rare to see a demon queen with the hero, I just remember only one manga with a similar situation.

BTW, what's the correct english name for this series?

frubam 2011-07-20 16:55
The whole "our family is full of curiosity" got me thinking(jokingly, mind you), what if all this was planned so that she could get close to a hero? Not to do anything sinister, but maybe to feel what it's like to love and be love, and that this whole scenario was to bait the hero into giving her an opportunity for these feelings.

I think there isn't an offical english name for it yet. Some are guessing that Maoyuu is a combination of Maou + Yuusha aka Devil Queen and Hero, but that's basically everything to it for now :). The quote is the first sentence of the scanlation -> "Become mine, Hero!" "I refuse."

Zakoo 2011-07-20 17:57
What happened?

It's like I breathed some fresh air, the setting isn't reallly original (similar to A-kun the sensou) but the drawings and characters are quite unique and nice.

Only two chapters but it was great owww, the maou is quite funny, whether she goes in her economical state or when she becomes deredere.

Basically it's "The Demon Queen and the Hero".

BTW, i found the original flash manga that appeared in 2ch here.

Credit goes to TheVoidSky for translating it in english.

PS: A TVTropes page!

Xagzan 2011-07-21 14:36
Bright and shining hero goes to slay the wicked demon queen in her dark castle--!

and gets a lecture in wartime economics and market theory?

Got my attention. Very unique blend of heroic idealism and more unfortunate pragmatism.

PS. Handlebars. That is all :heh:

Also saw a raw for chapter 4...

Johnny 2011-08-13 13:58
Pretty decent chapter with dawww moments between the hero and DQ. Got to see some minor skills the hero has with the sword as well. The new credit page is a little spoiler as to what's to come I suppose...

TrueKnight 2011-08-13 14:07
Chapter 3 made me wonder if the hero's truly gay. You have a hot bombshell who's literally sleeping at your lap and chest with her tits showing nearly more than half cleavage and he didn't even get a frickin boner. Either he's extremely well composed or he is gay. I hope it's the former.

They show the church on how it was when it was in the middle age. The church supported education and was promoting agriculture including welfare and they're hardly backward. The concept of the world was flat promoted by the church was nothing more than a myth, when in fact they supported the world was round theory from the early 1st millennia.

Spoiler for ch3:


EDIT: Chapter 3 & 4 from the Comic Clear version is out from their official website.

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

I love the Comic Clear version, not only do the Hero and Demon Queen look better (and hot!), it feels romantic watching them together.

TrueKnight 2011-08-13 15:13
Hmm..as for me I'm liking the current scanlated version best. The arts looks neat and the development + interaction between hero and demon queen = instant win.

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?
