The Maid with One Arm

Head maid might be down one arm but her power could triple because of it.

The choice for using Queen, Lord, or King was down to context. It makes way more sense to label a female character with a feminine title than a masculine one. Queen was the most fuwa fuwa, so that was chosen.

In chapter 21, there were several lines where DQ was labelled Demon Lord. This was a change I introduced. Consider the following lines:

My Demon Queen is not a "Demon Queen"!
My Demon Queen is not a Demon Lord!

The former was the original translation I got from the script.

The line that was eventually used was "My master is not a Demon Lord!"

This is the thread for the 4 manga adaptations of this series, aye? Is there no thread for the light novel, or is thread used for both?

Since the available translated portion of the novel is far behind the manga (and the anime as of episode three) there isn't one. It should be okay to use this for novel stuff though.

Alright, cool.

I wonder for how much longer that'll be the case, though. The person/group of people translating the light novels said that releasing chapter by chapter reduces the overall enjoyment and immersion so they instead plan on releasing the whole thing once they finish volume 1. And I heard that all the manga are still somewhere in the first volume.

Seriously? where'd you hear that? Huh, that's awesome news.

Release Note

An in-house project by me, Astrea and Sae.

There will be no more releases until the entire novel is translated. Because this is a novel, releasing it episodically with long spans in-between will only deteriorate the reading experience and enjoyment of the novel. Instead, we will release the novel in its entirety when it’s done and polished to an obscene amount.

Volume One work in progress | 60% Complete - Dec 2012

That's why I was thinking of making a thread for the light novel discussion.

Er, not exactly. The novel version seems to parallel the original web version (each novel chapter has the same stuff as the web chapter). Chapter 20-21 of the web version are translated, and they are of a scene that happens in manga chapter 10 or 11. There are 21 manga chapters currently translated.

The above only applies to the Comp Ace version though. The others are around the same place as episode three of the anime.

I guess that I was misinformed, then. I'm surprised to hear that the manga is that far ahead..

[MrTerrorist]

If there is anyone who read the novels, i need to know about this.

It's a prequel novel about Archer before the events of the main series.

Spoiler for From what i understand of the plot (may contain spoilers from Maou Maoyuu Yuusha Gaiden):

It's about the original four human heroes who fought against the previous Maou before the Demon Queen became the new Maou. According to the description, Grandpa Archer was one of the original heroes!

Spoiler for Question:

This question has kept me guessing since reading chinese scans of MMY Gaiden about the previous generation of human heroes so this is what i like to know.

Spoiler for Wild Mass Guessing:

Is Female Hero of Gaiden and Archer's companion when he was younger Hero's mother?

No. Where did that come from?

Well they belong to each other. And they always make fun of Yuusha for being a virgin while Maou is also a virgin. Was just wondering if they got intimate yet.

If they keep calling Yuusha a virgin, generally means that they haven't done it yet.

[MrTerrorist]

Just a reminder. The group scanlating "Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Be Mine, Hero" "I refuse!"" is almost done with chapter 22.

Also the group's spokesperson had an interesting word to say about that chapter. (I can't really say it since i don't want to suffer your wrath of what that person said.)
