God there isnt time in the day for all of these good mangas, chill as they are.

It took me 4 months to work through this thread, kept stopping to read entire series as they were mentioned. Caught up to the present about two weeks ago. Good times.

Oh my god. This is incredible - the inverse of Yakuza House Husband!
I'd heard about this purely because of the translator and/or artist changing the animal to match the pun. Like Japanese for 'snail' shares a character for 'nope' but we got antelope to keep the pun intact.

That's the kind of effort I like to see.

While I suspect what will happen is something like they manage to use very goofy and silly methods to avoid notice and capture what I want to see happen is they are found out but the queen is totally okay with the situation but just wants to be able to go to the demon castle too and they go "oh nooo the number of princesses has multiplied!!" or something like that.

And also it turns out that the Princess-apple didn't fall far from the Queen-tree with regards to sleepiness, bloodlust, self-centredness and general sociopathy.

9? I'm only seeing 7 chapters.

Anyway I've just picked this up, and while I wish the ladies were done in the original art styles as well, I'm finding this funny as hell! Definitely going to be keeping up with this one!

EDIT: OH MY GOD I've just got to Chapter 6 and the first thing I see is how the manga portrays frickin' Leda goddamn this is hilarious :allears: Wrong as all hell, but hilarious.

Ah, it was my mistake. The translated chapters goes up to 7, there's raws out there up to 9. And yeah I agree, the jarring thing is seeing all the female art figures depicted in the generic anime girl style instead of "Renaissance art" style, rather unfortunate really.

Eh, I'm getting used to it. Besides, isn't this in Shonen Jump? I can see why it's aiming to make itself attractive to thirsty teenage boys, and it also gave us the Mona Lisa gags, so that's a plus.

Kui loves to create some pretty complicated situations with hard questions that don't get resolved huh? Reminds me of the children's class from her other anthology that had to come up with a story about a race of rabbits and mice and it quickly blew out of proportions.

Like for the centaur stories, how would you handle that if you lived in that situation. The workforce is increasingly favoring centaurs for employment because they are model workers. Even going through college doesn't increase your odds of being hired and as a homo-sapien you are being pushed aside purely because of your species and the tendencies associated with them. The comparison to real life racial bias isn't lost here.

But then are the homo sapiens wrong for trying to tax businesses for hiring centaurs to try and dissuade an entire segment of the population from being displaced from the workforce? What about enforced retirement age since Centaurs also die younger? That's not fair to centaurs for just being centaurs. And even then, the story isn't very strong at giving humans a good point. We're good at lazing around and enjoying life but what else? Centaurs get their own train car but don't even really need it either, meanwhile humans are crammed into transportation purely because we don't have better means of getting around quickly unlike literal horse people.

It's a messy social situation for sure. I love it because it's food for thought.

Demon mom is bit less complicated for sure although there's also stuff presented about the relationships between humans and demons. But man is the cast really positive overall. I dig that everyone has someone's back through everything.

it's only just really started getting into the human-demon relationship stuff, outside of the resident human buddy. I dunno if it'll really dig into it or if it'll leave it at what it's already mentioned thus far, but it could get very dark if it wanted to(and hinted at) based on what it's mentioned about how the humans/demons issues were sorted out

That chapter is an adequate ending to Shounen Hachi since the romance was much more interesting than the manga drawing despite only showing up in the last few chapters.

I expect things to hit a peak again in the future. The landmine and demonitis episodes alone were somewhat grueling.
