Plots(1)
Names can be deceiving, something the warrior known as Hero quickly discovers when he storms the castle of the dread Demon King that mankind has fought for fifteen years. For one thing, the "king" turns out to be a queen! Even more shocking, though, is that she's waiting for him with an unexpected proposal. She points out that it would be bad for both sides if the war was to end immediately, as without a common enemy, the individual factions of the winning side are certain to turn on each other in a new series of civil wars. However, she has a plan to end the war, bring democracy and advanced knowledge to humanity, and ensure lasting prosperity for both sides, no matter who "wins". But to accomplish this, she needs a collaborator on the human side, and she's chosen Hero as the one partner she can trust! Is it a deal with the devil, or mankind's only hope for lasting peace?

How the Hero met the Demon King, they fell in love, and it turned into a love like no other. Oh, and by the way, also a new method of agriculture. Maoyu searches for storylines in truly unconventional places, and even though it does so a bit hastily, it immediately earns my sympathy. Whether it's the pleasantly exaggerated personalities of the main duo, the surprisingly well-done animation of occasional war scenes, or the inability to even guess for most of the time what the next episode could be about. Yet this is where the fundamental problem lies. From the irregularly changing pile of supporting characters, only the melancholic Maid Elder Sister and the Knight managed to win my heart. Although the others have enough potential, when the only distinguishing feature of the Sorceress is her frequent tendency to fall asleep in the middle of important events, I don't have much chance of getting under her skin (or the skin of other similarly deprived likeable characters). Because the motivations of all rulers, churches, or potential villains are equally brief or unreadable, I have no choice but to stick with an average rating. With the number of realized or just impending conflicts, I am still pretty confused even after the last episode. If the length of the entire series were doubled, everything could have been more understandable and naturally better.
