ネフテロス推し

Nephteros recommendation

This review contains spoilers. 15巻まで読了。登場人物（ほぼ）全員かわいい！！主役CPはもちろん大好きですが、個人的にネフテロスちゃんが大好きです。ラーファエルの作ったクッキー嬉しそうに食べてるのが本当に可愛かった！！今までつらかった分、幸せになってほしい～～～ラーファエルと仲良く暮らして欲しいなあ。・・・ワンチャンないかな(笑)？

This review contains spoilers. I've read up to 15 volumes. The characters are (almost) all so cute! Of course, I love the lead actor CP, but I personally love Nephteros. The fact that they were happy to eat the cookies Rafael made was really cute!! As hard as it has been until now, I want them to be happy... I want them to live well with Rafael. ... I wonder if there are any dogs (laughs)?

スピンオフと合わせて読むのがおすすめ

I recommend reading it together with spin-off

次々と現れる強敵たちとの迫力あるバトル、ネフィとザガンのもだもだや少しずつ増えていくラブラブな姿、孤独だったザガンが仲間(かつライバル)たちとの絆を深めていく姿…と見どころがいっぱいです。ストーリーの緩急のバランスがちょうどいいので読みやすいです。個人的にはスピンオフと併せて読むのがおすすめです！シャスティルとバルバロスの2人の関係性(というより主にバルバロスの心境の変化)を踏まえて14巻を読むと胸にくるものがありました。

There are plenty of highlights to see: powerful battles with strong enemies that appear one after another, Nephi and Zagan's lovely-looking appearance that gradually increases, and how Zagan, who was lonely, deepens his bonds with his friends (and rivals). The balance of slow speed in the story is just right, so it's easy to read. Personally, I recommend reading it in conjunction with the spin-off! There was something that stuck in my mind when I read volume 14 based on the relationship between the two people, Chastil and Barbaros (or rather, mainly Barbaros' change of mind).

一気に読んでしまいました！

I read it all at once!

ザガンとネフィちゃんがゆっくりと(亀よりも遅く)ラブラブになって行くのがモダモダしつつも良いです。悪役顔なのに自分の信念にブレずに敵にも手を差し伸べてしまうザガンが最高です。そんな彼の周りにも影響を与えて行く、人間模様がまた楽しみー。ハラハラしながらも安心して読めました。次が楽しみー！

It's nice that Zagan and Nephi slowly become lovey-dovey (later than a turtle), even though it's modern. Zagan, who has a villain's face but doesn't get shaken by his own beliefs and reaches out to his enemies, is the best. I'm looking forward to seeing the human pattern that has had an impact on his surroundings again. I was able to read it with peace of mind even though it was jarring. I'm looking forward to the next one!

正直名前で損してる

Honestly, I'm losing money with my name

内容とか物語の進み具合とかめちゃくちゃ面白いのに、名前のせいで一定数手に取らない作品なんじゃないかと思ってしまった....題名長い系を嫌ってる人〜！一回読んでみて！めちゃくちゃ内容面白いから〜！！！

It's insanely interesting about the content and how the story progresses, but because of the name, I thought it might be a work I wouldn't pick up a certain number... People who don't like long titles! Read it once! because the content is insanely interesting!!!

魔王‥

Demon King...

孤児が魔王の実験台になるところを逆に殺して魔王の地位を得て独り研究に没頭してたがエルフを拾いどう可愛がったら良いか分からずあたふたする話。基本その辺のわちゃわちゃした話も楽しめるがそれ以外の魔王や世界観、周りの仲間たちにもちゃんとストーリーがありどちらも楽しめる楽しい漫画です。

It's a story about an orphan who kills the place that becomes the demon king's test bench in reverse, gets the status of a demon king, and is alone in his research, but he picks up elves and is upset because he doesn't know how to love them. Basically, you can enjoy messy stories around there, but other than that, the demon king, worldview, and friends around you also have a proper story, so it's a fun comic where you can enjoy both.

ザガン1派!?

zagan 1 faction!?

This review contains spoilers. ザガンのネフィ・フォルに対しての愛情継いて来る者への温かさ解釈は、それぞれには難しい人が居るかも知れないけど大きく1括りにしたら、大家族と言えると思いますこの温かさを、私も万人に持っていられたら戦争など、諍いや人を傷つけなくなるのでは無いかな今後、考え方の参考にして行きます

This review contains spoilers. Zagan's warm interpretation of Nephi Faure's love for those who inherit their love for Nephi Fall is that each may have difficult people, but I think it can be called a big family if they are grouped together. I will use this warmth as a reference for the way of thinking in the future, I wonder if quarrels or the like will hurt people, such as wars, etc., if carried by everyone

かわいらしい

endearing

アニメ化きっかけで読み始めましたが、マンガも絵がかわいくて読みやすいです。クールに見えて奥手。王道と言えば王道ですけど、ピュアさが過ぎて見ているこちらもつられて恥ずかしくなってくる笑かわいらしいのでによによしながら読んでほしい！

I started reading it when it was made into an anime, but the manga also has cute pictures and is easy to read. It looks cool and is so cool. Speaking of royal roads, it's royal road, but it's so pure that I'm watching this one gets tangled up and makes me feel embarrassed lol it's cute, so I want you to read it while feeling relieved!

魔王とエルフ

Demons and elves

ザガンとネフィの関係が可愛くて最高でした。ザガンは意外にもちょっと天然入ってて可愛いです。ネフィはひたすら美人で、ひたすら可愛い！他のキャラクターも個性があって魅力的です。会話のテンポが良いのでサクサク読めちゃいます。

The relationship between Zagan and Nephi was so cute and amazing. Surprisingly, Zagan is a bit natural and cute. Nephi is simply beautiful and just so cute! The other characters are also unique and attractive. The tempo of conversation is good, so I can read it quickly.

かわいい〜〜〜

cute~~~

This review contains spoilers. 可愛かった。主人公に下心がしっかりあってこんなに可愛いことあるんだ……。コメディテイスト強めで概ねタイトル通りの状況なんだけど、奴隷買って嫁？にする不快感はほぼほぼ無かった。結構な速度でヒロイン攻略してイチャイチャボケ？するようになるからそこにむず痒さはあるかも。ちゃんとした告白があるのはかなり先で、イチャイチャしながらモダモダしてるタイプのラブコメ。主人公とヒロイン以外の主要キャラもみんな可愛い。説明系タイトル苦手な方にもラブコメ好きならオススメしたい。軸はラブコメなんだけどファンタジー的な要素(魔王とか)の謎も程よく話に絡んでくる。飽きの来ないストーリー展開でよいです。

This review contains spoilers. That was cute. There are times when the main character has such ulterior motives and is this cute... It has a strong comedy taste, and the situation is generally as the title suggests, but is it a slave buyer and a bride? There was almost no discomfort. is it flirtatious to capture the heroine at a pretty fast speed? Since it starts to happen, it may be itchy and itchy there. A proper confession is a type of romantic comedy where they are flirtatious and modernized a long time ago. Other than the main character and heroine, all the main characters are cute. I would recommend it to those who don't like explanatory titles if they like romantic comedies. The axis is a romantic comedy, but mysteries with fantasy elements (like the demon king) are also moderately involved in the story. It's nice to have a story development that you won't get tired of.

好きって早く言ってほしい

I want you to say you like it as soon as possible

魔王様の恋に関してウブなのが意外と可愛い。エルフの彼女は奴隷として扱われてきたせいで感情も何もかも忘れ去られた感じだったけど、魔王様のおかげで人並み？な感じになって良かった。

It's surprisingly cute when it comes to the devil's love. The elf girlfriend had been treated as a slave, so she felt like her emotions and everything had been forgotten, but thanks to the demon king, she's just like a human being? I'm glad it felt like that.

ウブな魔王様が可愛くて最高に推せます?

is Ugly Demon Lord cute and would you recommend him the best?

This review contains spoilers. 自分は生贄か実験動物だと教え込まれてきたため、拷問を受けて殺されると信じ込んでいるエルフと一目惚れして有り金をはたいて手に入れた愛しのエルフに不器用すぎてどう接して良いのかわからない魔王様の噛み合わない会話が面白すぎました。少女エルフに恋したウブな魔王様、可愛くて最高に推せますね〜?頑張って彼女の気を引こうとして空回る姿をニヤニヤしながら見守る時間が楽しいです?　もっと素直に愛情を示して愛でられれば良いのにね〜と思う反面、いつまでも不器用で空回る魔王様を見ていたいような複雑な心境になるほっこり作品?

This review contains spoilers. I was taught that I was a sacrifice or experimental animal, so the unmeshed conversation between the demon king, who fell in love at first sight with an elf who believed he would be tortured and killed, and the demon king who was so clumsy that I didn't know how to deal with him was too interesting. The Ugly Demon Lord who fell in love with the girl elf is cute and I highly recommend it~? Do you enjoy spending time watching as you do your best to get her attention while smirking? On the other hand, I think it would be nice if I could show love more honestly and be loved, but it's a relaxing work that makes me feel mixed like I want to watch the clumsy demon king spinning around forever?

魔王もエルフもかわいい

Both demons and elves are cute

This review contains spoilers. コミックは１巻を読了。小説版は１８巻まで読みました。魔王になった主人公と嫁（になる予定）のエルフの交流は非常におもしろ……もとい初々しくて読んでいるうちに頬が緩んできます。主人公カップル以外のキャラクター達もかなり個性豊かな面々が多いですが、大部分は楽しく読むことのできる範囲で個性のど突き合いが起きている状態なので、安心して読むことができます。

This review contains spoilers. I've read volume 1 of the comic. I've read up to 18 volumes of the novel. The interaction between the main character, who became the demon king, and the elf who is his wife (to become) is very interesting... it was so fresh that I relaxed my cheeks as I read it. Other than the main character couple, there are many characters with quite rich personalities, but most of them are in a state where individuality matches occur to the extent that they are fun to read, so you can read them with peace of mind.

異色のカップル

A couple with a different color

This review contains spoilers. イケメン魔王様が悪友に誘われ闇オークションで売られていたエルフをゲット。実はピュアな魔王様、エルフに一目ぼれ。奥手でどうしたらいいかわからず、なギャップがとっても可愛いですね。けっこう早めにハートフルラブコメになって見ていて微笑ましく、可愛くて楽しいです。魔王様の元へ来て安泰かと思いきや、エルフ嫁が怒ってしまい焦りまくる魔王様だったり、エルフ嫁を幼女にされてしまったりと、トラブルはつきないようですね。アニメ化もされて、さらに人気が爆上がりしたみたいですね。ずっと二人のイチャコラライフを見ていたくなります。

This review contains spoilers. The handsome demon king was invited by his bad friend and got an elf that was sold at a dark auction. Actually, I fell in love with a pure demon king, an elf at first sight. I don't know what to do with my wife, and that gap is so cute. It became a heartfelt romantic comedy pretty early, and it's smiling, cute, and fun to watch. I thought it would be safe to come to the demon king, but it seems like there won't be any trouble, such as the elf wife getting angry and impatient, and the elf wife being turned into a little girl. It was also made into an anime, and it seems like popularity has exploded even more. It makes me want to watch their Ichakora life all the time.
