Summary:Yuri Shibuya is an average baseball-loving high school student. When he decides to take a stand against some local bullies, they decide to dunk him in a toilet and Yuri finds himself sucked into another world! He lands in a strange new world populated by warring humans and demons. When the demons announce that he is their new ""Maou"" (Demon King), Yuri's convinced that they must have got it wrong. He's not alone in that opinion and some of the other nobles who are eyeing the throne for themselves are already taking action. Meanwhile, Yuri is managing to get himself into enough trouble by himself - part of his staff wants to date him, part of them hate him, the ex-queen just plain wants him, and, thanks to local customs, Yuri has even managed to get himself engaged to another guy!! Is he ever going to be able to get out of this crazy world and back to his own?
My Comments: This story might sound stupid, but I assure you it's not. Right away you get attached to all the characters and even though the idea of it all sounds dumb, it is really funny and very entertaining to watch. A good light hearted show. I admit, this does appeal mainly to just girls, but guys can watch it to. It has shounen-ai hints, but nothing ever really happens. It's basically a part of the humor in the show. There is a plot eventually, takes about 30 episodes for it to poke it's little head out, haha. The main reason I like this series so much is the character relationships. You can't help but like them since the character seem to compliment each other really well. Yes, this show is more for comedy but there is more to it and in the end it really draws you in and you just can't stop watching. Interested? Grab a copy, you can't go wrong! XD
