Synopsis

The Demon Lord Tasogare's castle is a dark and frightening place, filled to the brim with various monsters. Any soul unfortunate enough to be imprisoned here is sure to be terrified by the horrors within. However, the human princess Aurora Suya Rhys "Syalis" Kaymin is a different case. Rather indifferent to her situation, Syalis worries about one thing and one thing only—sleep. Ever since the demon lord kidnapped her from her kingdom, she has not had a single good night's rest.

To alleviate her dozen dozing issues, the princess makes do with what she can find in the castle. Whether it be the fur of fluffy demonic teddy bears or the silky, blanket-like bodies of ghost shrouds, everything is but a means to ensure a peaceful slumber. With so many potential materials to craft items that can help her sleep at her disposal, nothing will stop the sleepy princess—not even death.

'If you got kidnapped and imprisoned by the demons, what should you do?'

Well obviously in this situation, you will always try to find a way to escape from their prisoner. But for this anime, Princess Syalis is the most unique one. She rather sleeps in her prison bed despite the panicking situation that is happening in her homeland.

:::Story:::
But there's one problem! The demons only give her nothing but a low quality bed sheet and pillow. Dissatisfied, Hime-sama decides to go out and create the best quality for her to sleep even if it means murdering demons and destroying useful items. What makes the story even ...

*Shhhhh*
(Quiet please, our princess is sleeping right now)

How far would you go for THE perfect sleep? It has been scientifically proven that a good sleep is very important for our body, but how can we achieve that? This is the most important thought of our princess Aurora Suya Rhys (or let's just say Suyaaaaa~), she goes all out to get this achievement.

STORY:
In a time when humans and demons were still hostile, our princess was captured by the demon king Tasogare. He locked her up and just gave her an old mattress and sheet to sleep on. How is our princess supposed to have a restful ... sleep with such cheap things? And so Suya risks her life to get the valuable items that make a sleep more comfortable: Pillows, blankets, everything that is important for a good night's sleep. Regardless of whether ghosts, monsters or even the demon king himself, she spares no expense to achieve her goal and get those items.

CHARACTER:
The full name of our Hime-sama is Aurora Suya Rhys Kaymin (Amen). She was kidnapped by the Demon King to make the kingdom fear him. But because of her sleepy personality, she didn't really care about the whole war between those two nations although deep in her heart she wishes that both sides could get along peacefully. She has the capacity of falling asleep everywhere she finds comfy at any moment.
The Maou-sama on the other hand, the main antagonist of the series, kidnapped Suya in her sleep. Although he is the demon king and is supposed to be terrifying, he has his heart in the right place. He's a little naive, but never has bad intentions. How the princess sees him in her eyes is very important to him. The poor demon couldn't stand it if the princess would hate him.
Besides our two main characters there are also other demons in the castle of course. Whether hedgehogs, vampires or even Hades himself even, everyone always only wants the best for the princess. They are friendly, polite and would never dare to do anything bad.
And finally, there is of course our Yuusha Dawner, who tries to save the princess. He is a bumbling, easily confused Yuusha. Yet he never gives up, no matter how difficult the mission is. Due to his almost non-existent presence, the princess calls him "A-Something-kun".

ART:
The best thing by far about the entire animation are the “Teddy Akumas”. They're just too cute and everyone would love to have a few of them at home. Although it should be dark and black in a demon castle, we see a variety of bright and bright colors here. You can feel the good atmosphere.

SOUND:
The sleep(over) party starts already with the OP song, which is also sung by our princess herself. The music is cheerful and happy. It's so catchy that you can't forget the song. Everyone is invited to have fun!
The ED song happens already in our dream, beautiful things will happen there.
Besides the songs, the rest of the sound is also well done. Even a "little" scissor sound has been adjusted well.

ENJOYMENT:
As someone who is also a big fan of sleep, I felt directly connected to the princess. I admire her courage and will to do everything for THE perfect sleep. The comedy part is on point as well, it is often hilarious and funny. It really makes you laugh a lot. There are cute teddy bears here, what more could you want?

I wish that we see more quests for our princess, which she masters with bravura! Suya definitely mastered the “sleep game”!

Oyasumi!

‘I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I am awake, you know?’

Once upon a time, people lived happily in the kingdom of Sleepland. A jealous demon king appeared, wishing to destroy the kingdom. He kidnapped the princess and said, ‘I am kidnapping your Princess and if she is dear to you, you will give all your lands to the demons.’ So, just like in any typical fairy tale: an evil and insidious demon king, in order to show these mongrels, who are called humans, who the real king is, kidnaps a young maiden and imprisons her in a cell in ...
