Summary

Fifteen years have passed since the war between humans and demons began. Dissatisfied with their slow advance into the Demon Realm, the Hero abandons his companions to quickly forge ahead towards the Demon Queen's castle. Upon his arrival at the royal abode, the Hero makes a startling discovery: not only is the Demon Queen a woman of unparalleled beauty, but she also seeks the Hero's help. Confused by this unexpected turn of events, the Hero refuses to ally himself with his enemy, claiming that the war the demons have waged is tearing the Southern Nations apart.

However, the Demon Queen rebuts, arguing that the war has not only united humanity but has also brought them wealth and prosperity, providing evidence to support her claims. Furthermore, she explains that if the war were to end, the supplies sent by the Central Nations in aid to the Southern Nations would cease, leaving hundreds of thousands to starve. Fortunately, she offers the Hero a way to end the war while bringing hope not only to the Southern Nations, but also to the rest of the world, though she will need his assistance to make this a reality.

Finally convinced, the Hero agrees to join his now former enemy in her quest. Vowing to stay together through sickness and health, they set off for the human world.

Opinion: I liked the show but at the same time I was hoping for so much more. I didn't feel like there was enough romance between Mayou and Hero. I feel like there wasn't even character development between the two main characters. I would have loved to see there relationship bloom a bit more. I don't want to say anything to much that could potential spoil something but I just felt like I wanted more from Mayou and Hero. Almost like if i was cheated out of somethings that I really feel like a good romance should have. Maybe I set my standards too high for this anime. Maybe I was imagine something else and that is why I am disappointed a bit. I'm not really sure.

Personally there were some parts I could have done without or wish it was something different. But this is just my personal opinion of the show. I probably wouldnt watch this again for fun like some of the other ones that I really love. I still recommend you all to try it out for yourselves if you think you like those genres. Don't let me personal feelings stop you because maybe you will really like it. I don't regret watching it because it was something that I still liked otherwise I wouldn't have watched the whole thing.
