Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes. The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world. Much to his subject's dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this land's customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak.

One of the better animes I have seen in such a long time! To others it may not seem that wonderful, but the relationships between the characters is beautiful. One of the main things I noticed about this anime is its humor.. I can come up with no words to describe it, but the humor is.. special.. lol It made me laugh plenty of times, a complete, real laugh. Even with all of this humor added in it had its moments where I soaked my pillow in tears, when an anime can make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts and yet also make me cry so terribly. Something had to be done right. ^_^ I loved how well the transitions between a serious event with deep details went to a light and comedy episode after too much deepness.
