もだきゅんと笑い満載

Full of laughter with Moda Kyun

本編では描かれないシャスティルとバルバロスが軸の物語。バルバロスがどんどんシャスティルに惹かれていくのに、それを認められず悩みまくる姿がいいです。早く気持ちを自覚してほしい、そして今度は想いを告げられずもだもだする姿が見たいです。最終的にはイチャラブが見たいですが、もだもだするバルバロスがおもしろくて好きなのでしばらくは気持ち通じ合わなくていいとさえ思っています。本編よりこちらのほうがコメディ要素が多い気がします。たくさん笑いました。

The story revolves around Chastil and Barbaros, which is not depicted in the main story. Even though Barbaros is becoming more and more attracted to Chasteel, it's nice to see him worrying about not being recognized. I want them to quickly become aware of their feelings, and this time I want to see them express their feelings without being told. In the end, I'd like to see Icharab, but since Barbaros from Momo is interesting and I like it, I even think we won't have to get through with each other for a while. I feel like there are more comedic elements here than in the main story. I laughed a lot.

ずっと見ていたい

I want to watch all the time

とにかく心地良い世界です。本編も全巻買ってますがこちらも同じくらいずっと追いかけていたい。絵もお話もキャラクターも好みで可愛いしアホだし時折クールで決めるところは決める。アホとポンコツだけどいつまでもこのふたりや世界を見ていたい。本編と同じくらいボリュームあっても追いかけますので是非是非ずっと続けて欲しいです。本編との絡み方も絶妙で、本編と何度も読み返してしまうのです。

Anyway, it's a comfortable world. I've bought the full volume of the main story, and I want to keep chasing this one just as much. The pictures, stories, and characters are cute, stupid, and sometimes I decide what I decide is cool because I like them. They're stupid and unreliable, but I want to watch these two and the world forever. Even if it's as voluminous as the main story, they'll be chasing it, so I definitely want them to keep going. The way it intertwines with the main story is also exquisite, and I reread it over and over again with the main story.

楽しい?

fun?

まどめの外伝で、まどめ本編も純粋で悶えますが、この2人のやり取りやテンポの早い展開が楽しくて続きがとても気になります！

It's Madome's Gaiden, and the main story of Madome is pure and agony, but the interaction between these two and the fast-paced development are fun, and I'm really curious about the continuation!

本編を読んでから読むべし

You should read it after reading the main story

This review contains spoilers. 「魔王の俺が奴隷エルフを嫁にしたんだが、どう愛でればいい？」のスピンオフです。本編では描かれていないバルバロスとシャスティルのエピソード。ザガンとネフィに比べて、クセ強めで一筋縄ではいかない感じが楽しい。本編では失恋を知ったシャスティルだったので、これから幸せになってくれたらいいなあ。本編とは作画担当が違う方なので絵が微妙に違うのが少しだけ気になりますが、面白い作品なので問題なしです。

This review contains spoilers. “I, the demon king, married a slave elf, how should I love him?” It's a spin-off of An episode of Barbaros and Chastil that is not depicted in the main story. Compared to Zagan and Nephi, they have strong habits and the feeling that it's not straightforward is fun. It was Chastil who learned about her heartbreak in the main story, so I hope they'll be happy from now on. The person in charge of drawing is different from the main story, so I'm just a little worried that the pictures are slightly different, but since it's an interesting work, there's no problem.

本編もいいけどこっちはもっと好き♡

The main story is good too, but which one do you like more ♡

他の方のレビュー見ると、わたしと同じ意見の方がチラホラ。やっぱりね！ポンコツ騎士と悪友くんの掛け合いサイコーだもの！お前…それは恋だよと言いたい！本編の主役2人はもうあれでいいから、早くこっちの2人がどうにかなってほしい♡

Looking at other people's reviews, there are a lot of people who have the same opinion as me. After all! The interaction between Ponkotsu Knight and Akutsu-kun is amazing! You... I want to say it's love! That's enough for the 2 leading actors in the main story, so I want these 2 to do something about it as soon as possible ♡

掛け合いが面白い！

Interactions are fun!

外伝だけど、こっちの方が好き( ¨̮ )バルバロスのツンツン多めなのに過保護なところが良き！！2人の掛け合いも面白いし、2人をみているシスターの反応も最高です(*´艸`)

It's a foreign legend, but I like this one (¨) I like the fact that Barbaros is overprotective even though he has a lot of twists!! The interaction between the two is interesting, and the reaction of the sister watching them is also amazing (*'`)

まどめの外伝

Madome's Gaiden

This review contains spoilers. 頭はいいのにどういう訳か馬鹿な魔術師と職務中は有能だけどプライベートはポンコツな聖騎士のラブコメ主人公は基本チンピラでお調子者でオバカ。たまに可愛かったりエロかっこよかったり実はちゃんとすればイケメンだったりとギャップが凄い。ヒロインは世間では憧れの的、凛とした美しき聖剣の乙女。プライベートは転ぶ壊すぶつかるのポンコツでこれまたギャップが凄い。そんな二人が恋とは自覚しないままにお互い惹かれあっていくのが最高。カップルで尊い話

This review contains spoilers. The main character of this romantic comedy about a smart but stupid magician and a holy knight who is competent during his duties but lackluster in private life is a basic thug, and an idiot. Sometimes they're cute, erotic, and cool, and actually, if you do it right, they're a handsome guy, and the gap is amazing. The heroine is a majestic and beautiful Seiken Maiden who is admired by the world. Private life is a mess of falling, breaking, and bumping into each other, so the gap is amazing. It's great that these two people are attracted to each other without being aware that they are in love. A precious story about a couple

まどめのスピンオフ

Madome spin-off

この物語だけでも楽しめますが、まどめを読んでからのが更に面白いと思います。悪友の世話焼きが良い感じで続きが待ち遠しい。

You can enjoy this story alone, but I think it's even more interesting after reading Madome. I can't wait for the rest of my bad friend to take care of it.

もどかしい「俺様」の恋♪

Frustrating “Oresama” love ♪

魔奴愛に外伝があることを知り読みました。自分本位で頭いい俺様の恋って、無知ゆえに本人も気付かないうちに純度高めに仕上がってるのが美味しいです！バルバロスが自分の想いに気づいたらどういう展開になるんだろう。楽しみでしかない。また、強い魔術師・迫力のある戦闘シーンもファンタジー好きにはたまりません。幕間とのことなので、いつ打ち切られるかわからんけど最後まで描き上げてほしいです！

I read that there is Gaiden in Demon Ai. My love, which is self-oriented and smart, is delicious because of ignorance, finished in a high level of purity before even the person himself notices it! What will happen if Barbaros realizes his feelings? I can't help but look forward to it. Also, strong magicians and powerful battle scenes are irresistible for fantasy lovers. It's called intermission, so I don't know when it will be canceled, but I want you to draw it until the end!

このコンビもイイ！

This combination is good too!

本体も大分楽しませて貰ってますがこっちの外伝も本当に面白い！うまくいって欲しいなぁー！バルバロスのツンが強すぎて癖になりますw

The main unit was also very entertaining, but this side story is really interesting too! I hope it goes well! Barbaros' knack is so strong that it becomes a habit lol

尊いとはこれの事か！ってなりました。

Is this what precious means! That's it now.

何、この関係！良すぎる！と読み進めながらニヤニヤするのが止められません。私が読んでいる時点ではそんなベタベタとした恋愛的な接触がある訳ではないのにわぁーー！！となります。読み手の気持ちを代弁するかの様なキャラも居て共感しかない。絵もかっこ良く可愛くてとても好き。

What, this relationship! It's too good! I can't stop smirking as I read on. At the time of reading it, it's not like there was such a sticky romantic contact, but wow!! It will be. There are also characters that seem to speak for the reader's feelings, and there is nothing but empathy. The pictures are cool and cute, and I really like them.

Ah, the one I like

This review contains spoilers. バルバロスがマドメでいい感じのクズキャラだけど（でも好き）、こっちでは主役！シャスティルと敵対しているポジションなのに護衛という設定がまたいい。。。早く続きが見たい！

This review contains spoilers. Barbaros is a crazy and nice scum character (but I like it), but he plays the leading role here! Even though it's a hostile position against Shastil, the setting of escort is also nice... I want to see the continuation soon!

A different point of view was also valuable

This review contains spoilers. 本編の裏側で別視点のストーリーが尊くてたまらない！影の中で見守り、陰ながら解決していく苦労性（笑）なんだかんだと良いコンビで面白いです(*´∀｀*)

スピンオフですが尊い

It's a spin-off, but it's precious

本作品でも人気があるんだろうなぁ2人の行方そのものに、本編でそれ書いたら本ストーリーが進まないのでスピンオフ作品で的なのりの本作品だろう。2人の噛み合わない思いが見ていて微笑ましいですね。

I wonder if this work is also popular, but if you write it in the main story, the book story won't progress, so it's probably a spin-off film and this one. It makes me smile to watch the feeling that the two don't mesh.

最高です

It's the best

本編のまどめからずっっっっっとバルバロスとシャスティルに悶えてきたので、こうして2人をメインに見ることができて最高に幸せです！！！！お互いに方向性の違う不器用さがたまりません……この2人の話だけで100巻ぶんくらい出して欲しいくらい好きです?バルバロスがちゃんとしてるとちゃんとイケメンなのも、ちょっと陰鬱そうな雰囲気がまた色気として魅力を増してるのも、たまらなく好きです！シャスティルの真っ直ぐでひたむきな所が大好きなので、そこに惹かれるバルバロスを見ているとニヤニヤしてしまいます……続編もとても楽しみにしてます！！

I've been in agony with Barbaros and Chasteel ever since Madame in the main story, so I'm so happy to be able to watch them as the main characters!!! Their clumsiness with different directions from each other is irresistible... do you like them so much that you want them to put out about 100 volumes just about these two stories? I irresistibly like the fact that Barbaros is a really good-looking guy when he does it properly, and that his slightly gloomy vibe also increases his appeal as sex appeal! I love Chastille's straight and dedicated nature, so I smirk when I watch Barbaros, who is attracted to it... I'm really looking forward to the sequel too!!

嬉しいとしか言いようがない

I can only say that I'm happy

最近、コミック版の魔奴愛を読んでバルバロス可愛いな！？ってなってシャスティルとの絡みがもっと見たいと思った矢先のスピンオフ。タイトル通りの感想です。しかも描いてる方のもう一つの作品も既に買ってたという納得の自分好みの作家さんだったという状況でした。寄せて描くことが上手いという事なのですかね。絵もテンポも全く違和感なく萌えて読めました。

Recently, I read the comic version of Manu Ai and Barbaros is cute!? It was a spin-off just when I wanted to see more entanglements with Chastille. My impression is as the title suggests. Moreover, I was in a situation where I was convinced that the artist who was drawing had already bought another work of my choice. Does that mean they're good at drawing together? I was able to read the picture and the tempo without any sense of incongruity.
