A princess, kidnapped by a demon king.

Now I know what you will be thinking, the poor thing. Is anyone going to save her? How will she survive? Well, um, throw out all those ideas, and just worry about the monsters and the demon king. :P

Yes, our princess isn't so weak, so silly, instead she is awesome, and she is a danger to all the critters in the castle. She is on a quest to sleep well, and she will do anything for it. Including cutting up living blankets, brushing demon teddy bears until they drop their fluff, cutting off capes, stealing precious artifacts, and so much more. Every chapter features a new quest, and the hilarious situations that come with it.

Did I mention she keeps dying? Yes, in her quest for new stuff to sleep better she keeps falling into lava, or falls asleep on deadly mushrooms.

The girl is totally awesome, and I actually don't want her to be saved. She is just too fabulous and kick-ass. She totally isn't afraid of the monsters.

In the meantime we see the humans still trying to save the princess, and the demons making plans to thwart the humans. :P

If anything, I agree with a comment I saw somewhere, that someone should save the demons, and the demon king. Before they get killed any further.

The art is pretty awesome, I do love the style!

This manga is perfect if you want to laugh your butt off, and if you want to know what the next thing is that the princess will do.

Rated a 4 for the cool monsters haha.
It’s a comedy manga set in a fantasy realm, just gags and cool monsters really. If you want a deeper story you won’t get that.
If you just like light hearted fantasy you could probably enjoy this volume alone. The fantasy elements are pretty fun. I love the demons and the bits of magic thrown in. And the demon kings castle is such an entertainingly wild setting.
Though the series has over 20 volumes and is still ongoing I don’t know if I’d read that much if it’s a gag manga with no progression for all the other volumes. It works as a standalone volume though I think unless you really are intrigued with the princess’s adventures

After a while it just became a bit too repetitive. How are there over 20 volumes of this story?
