Prince Ike embarked on an epic quest with one goal: defeat the evil Demon King of Mano and free his kingdom from fear. Disguised as a woman, Ike hopes to feign being kidnapped and get closer to the king. Things almost go according to plan, but right before Ike can make the deadly strike, he’s knocked out by the Demon King’s retainers. When he comes to, he discovers that he’s not chained up or being kept a prisoner and is instead treated to a meal! Still full of fight, Ike declares he won’t be going anywhere until he defeats the Demon King. 

Unfortunately for Prince Ike, the supposedly great and powerful Demon King is actually a huge wimp! Every time Ike tries to attack him, the demon just runs away or hides. It becomes a daily occurrence, and before Ike knows it, he’s actually learning a lot about this Demon King. Like how he treasures all of his houseplants, and he’s quite a worry wart over everyone — even Ike! As the two spend more time together, will this lead to something unexpected?

Defying her dark origins, she tore through a summoning gate and was reborn as a human baby.

Now revered as the prophesied Saint, Yulucia hides her demonic hunger beneath an innocent facade. But how long can she keep her secret? As dangerous schemes close in and whispers of her true nature spread, Yulucia must balance her love for humanity with the darkness that still resides within.

And while she may have escaped the shadows, they are never far behind — and neither is her hunger.
