Taro Chiaki’s romantic comedy manga, “Maō no Musume, Sugoku Choroi” (The Demon King’s Daughter is Very Simple-Minded), has officially concluded its serialization. The final chapter was published on Akita Shoten’s Manga Cross website on Wednesday.
The End of a Popular Romantic Comedy
The conclusion marks the end of a series that began its run in 2020. Fans have followed the story of Hel, the Demon King’s daughter, who resurrects the Hero to exact revenge on her father’s nemesis. Her plans, however, take an unexpected turn as the resurrected Hero proves to be surprisingly dazzling and dashing, causing Hel’s composure to waver. The manga explored whether she would be able to torment her new servant as intended, blending adventure, comedy, ecchi, fantasy, and romance elements.
Serialization Details and Publication History
“Maō no Musume, Sugoku Choroi” was serialized on Akita Shoten’s Manga Cross website. Akita Shoten also published the compiled volumes, with the 11th and final volume released in December 2018. (Note: There might be a discrepancy in the search results regarding the final volume’s release date and the start of serialization. One result indicates the 11th and final volume in December 2018, while others state the manga launched in 2020. This suggests the 2018 date might be an error or refer to a different series, or perhaps the 11th volume was released earlier than the actual final chapter’s publication online.)
