Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Demon King(5)

The Demon King, Chrome, was my favorite character from the stories. I loved his artwork, especially when he got angry and his sweet tooth was an unexpected avenue for humor.

This was a very sweetly wholesome story about a villainess who may be forceful but she is far from evil. I loved her ability to outthink and out plot her enemies. This was no pushover damsel. Demon prince Claude was adorable with his moods showing in nature or the tiniest smile or blush upon his cheekbones. Very satisfying story.

Very sweet and full of yearning, this story grabbed my emotions and scattered them in a mess that had me in tears yet happy at the same time. Each meeting in heaven between the shepherd and the hero was precious, coming at the cost of life for the hero yet savoured and uniquely theirs. I loved the emotional intensity that came with the simplicity of the story, and the genuine feelings of love between the MCs. Fluffy, feel good, beautiful but with a touch of loneliness.

Life’s not easy for a child of Heaven and Hell! Given a second chance to live, Jo Ara was happy to trade her dire past for a world of fantasy and magic. The only catch is she was reborn as Irene Neros Parjunel, the beloved newborn child of the southern demon king! With the god of the underworld and her deceased mother watching over her, she sets out to discover her place in this world. Throw in a snarky angel godmother and a stubborn demon godfather, and it’s the perfect setting for mischief and chaos. Will Irene succeed in helping her father battle the threats that plague him? And after making plenty of friends along the way, can she finally experience true love, too? I really enjoyed the story. If anyone ever deserved to be loved and beautiful, it was Irene. And the relationship between father and daughter was absolutely wonderful. Note: The translation was not always the best here. I read on Tappas after buying the official version and was glad I did. They don’t compare well, especially in the beginning and end (the parts where I compared). Spoiler alerts: As for the romances, in this version the ending is different to the novel. Which is kind of sad in a way because Ren had been so lonely for so long, and he chose to stay and uphold his promise to Rin and clearly he loved her, choosing to not follow Erin. But when Rei was trapped in the dream, it was his deepest hope to marry Rin and raise a family with her while (in this version) Ren dreamt of acceptance from his old team and leading his friends. Given that we had this insight into the characters hearts, having the dragon and the princess end up together really made the most sense and was very satisfying.

Completed story Cute little story of Prince Ike’s sojourn to make a name for himself and become a hero. Any good human would believe that a personal quest to take out the demon king would be a worthy quest, but Noah, Demon King of Mano is not that easy to kill. Firstly, his guards knock Ike out. Then the Demon King takes him in to care for his recovery. Even worse when Ike wakes and persists in his plan, the Demon King proves too elusive to even touch. But it’s all over for Ike when he falls for the gentle gardener king who treats him like he is precious. This was a surprisingly fluffy story about love in unexpected places and I loved how even the scariest monsters had a reasonable side.
