I remember the one-shot being really popular for this. So it got serialized really fast. This was a really fun start.

seems like a pretty cute premise, and the two main characters are each enjoyable enough. curious to see what direction/what the main plot ends up being

Funny to see something like this in the weekly Jump. Alright start.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I honestly prefer how things were paced in the one-shot, but I guess the first chapter had to rush to get everything down, in typical Weekly Shōnen Jump fashion.

The first chapter is basically a 1:1 remake of the one-shot, with some minor differences. The first difference is that the duo's relationship in the manga definitely feels more likely to become romantic in the future than in the one-shot. Of course, they still feel like siblings, but this could change. I wouldn't welcome that, unless it's executed extremely well.

The second difference is Asuka. It's not very noticeable, but she is more blushy and slightly less of a doofus. I honestly slightly prefer the one-shot version of her so far, but I'm sure she will get more characterization in the serialization so it's a complete non-issue.

I thought the one-shot was solid. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was a serviceable premise with serviceable characters and a serviceable level of fun and wholesomeness. I remember wondering how this manga would continue being about an ex-Hero Girl and ex-Demon Lord, since the entire point of the series is that they want to grow out of these roles into a more normal life. Does the series has any legs to go places? After reading the first chapter, I still have this question, which makes me sort of worried; a monster-of-the-week format would be a bit of a cop-out. I'm sure the mangaka has something cooked up, though.

Overall, this is a solid start to a solid-looking series. It will be fun, especially since we don't have many other series like it in Shōnen Jump; I'll probably be reading it every week just because why not. Hopefully it becomes something more though.

A final note: The Demon Lord says that he's going to end the world when Jump stops being published, and he's reading a WSJ isue with the exact same lead cover page as the LCP of this week's Jump issue. I guess if this gets axed, Mr. Demon Lord will end the world right away lol

It’s like mamayuyu except they’re a ship! I hope it balances the action and the cute shit to keep it alive. I see it getting at least 50 chapters based on this one alone.

THIS IS GOATED!!! I LOVE the humor, female character designs are adorable. It's like a combination of someone hertz and the mage next door! Loving the comedic series WSJ has been bringing through recently.
