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. |
Another powerful-demon-queen-joins-almighty-hero story? Well I'm def game =03!
|
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.

if im not wrong there 3 different version. the comp ace version, see pic above the ChampRed Version here: Spoiler for pics:

^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). |
Only thing, the holy priestess horn are fake
|
Yeah, I noticed she doesn't have it on the cover (2nd pic). What's up with that anyway?

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! |
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.

Anyone reminded of Wolf and Spice in a good way? (Or was it Spice and Wolf?)
|
The one published in Kadokawa is the best imo. I prefer that style more.
|
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.
