Do you think Maou ended up with the wrong girl in the LN? Will we see an alternative ending in the Manga?

Honestly what was the author thinking? What's the point of shipping Maou with Chiho after all that developement with Emi, and the rushed ending?

Apparently many fans are really disappointed and the author has apparently received death threats. I don't consent to that kind of treatment and no one deserves it but honestly I'm not surprised.

I mistakenly read a spoiler and then went to confirm if it was true. Surely it was and I instantly dropped the rating of the series. Romance is my most read genre and I've never ever changed a rating because of "wrong ship" because ultimately that is an opinion, but after this I was disappointed enough to do so.

Great way to ruin one of my favourite stories of all time! Such a great concept, simply ruined.

What do you think? Who should Maou have ended up with and why? Do you think the manga will see an alternative ending?

I've always shipped Maou with Chiho and I was expecting to be disappointed cause I figured he would end up with Emi due to them being the main pair.

So of course I'm happy on that front, but I don't know story wise how good it has gotten past the anime and I do not have time to read 20 volumes. I did read he became a CEO at the end or something.

I'm absolutely stoked and happy he ended up with Chiho cause she is best girl and character and I loved their moments a lot more than his and Emi's. I'm kinda glad the author went the route he did cause its not all the time the main character goes for the secondary main girl/guy its always the main interest at least in all the other shows I've always watched.

I am confused though cause again I have not read much past the anime from what I hear they had a lot of development together and yet he pulled a left fielder and Maou ended up with Chiho I mean if I liked Emi and shipped her with Maou I would be pissed off too, but I think its stupid to send death threats because your fictional ship didn't sail.

As for the manga who knows? I mean it might have an AU ending where he ends up with Emi. Manga usually do things differently than the LN counterparts so I mean there is a chance.

The only thing I hate about the ending is with all the negativity it got there will probably be a zero chance of a second season now.

I didn't read the LN, but I know what happened because someone posted a summary on reddit.

I think Maou really ended up with the wrong girl. I don't hate Chiho or anything like that, but I was really hoping that Maou and Emi would end up together because in the anime, Emi is kinda developing some feelings for Maou.

About the manga, maybe we still have the chance to see a different ending, but that would take a little bit of time.

Yeah, sadly there's no chance for a season 2 now.

The author wasted all the potential he had with introducing Alas Ramus and progressing the relationship between Emi and Maou, he does a 360 and ends up with Chiho, who is only liked because of her fat titties. I would be fine with Chiho if it wasn't hinted through the whole series that Maou and Emi would end up together.

Honestly threatening the author and attacking the manga just because the couple they wanted was not formed seems to me one of the most toxic stupidities that exists in the world of anime/manga. First of all romance is not the main point of the manga, if you want couples read Shojo. This is why we then see very predictable and mediocre endings.

I gotta agree with you at the death threat part since that ain't a good thing bruh just becz your ship didn't sailed doesn't mean you have to send death threats. But anyways that doesn't change the fact that I still feel betrayed by this shitty author who literally wasted Emi and Maou's development on all of this 21 volumes, like he literally betrayed our expectations, many has been expecting Emi to end up with Maou but... The author just fucked up. Btw this anime is also a romance if you take a look at the genre...

Personally I like the ending because I always been a fan of chiho after all, but it really unxepted because the story was in my opinion leading to emi side like alas ramus for example that already is the proof of it like it was 100℅ gonna be with emi but supries it was not but sending death threat is just going to far and childish

I can't understand why anyone would think an insipid, vapid, useless, jealous and annoying teenager would be best girl for anyone. I think she may appeal to a younger audience but i'm late 20's and find it difficult to watch her. She is everything I find embarrassing in a female - JMHO.

Well i don't support that kind of behavior either but the author kind of search for it, he give the stick to be beaten with.
I don't even understand was is likeable about Chiho, she is the worst character of the series by far, insipide, jealous, possessive, useless, immature, i would be fine with any other female character for Maou, Emi, Amane, Suzuno, Alcieth but not Chiho.
She is so poorly written that she is the only one who came with a bullshit deus ex machina to give her bullshit power out of nowhere, for no reason, wihout any logic explication, so to keep her in the story, that was the first red flag for me in this series who alert me that Chiho might be a shitty self insert of the author who will favor her for no reason because it refers to a real life experience of some shit.
That shit completly break any coherence and the rule of the world and i laugh at the shitty explanation "That because she spend time with Maou and Emi"
Yeah in that case every person in the restaurant have power, Rika have power, every person in Emi job have power.

In top of wasting all the development between Yusa and Maou, all of this for nothing, absolutely nothing, i can understand why fan and especially Yusa/Maou ship feel absolutely betray by the author.
The writing is so shit throught the ending that he could be show to school in what not to do.
Alongside the ending of The Quintessential Quintuplets who is awesomely poor writted too.

I am going to quote a review I saw on this site, but the issue with the ending of chiho X Maou isnt that Emi X Maou supporters hate Chiho, while some find Chiho annoying, i think shes a decent lovable character. THE PROBLEM IS there wasnt buildup between the two. The author focus wayy too much between Emi and Maou that the whole last volume felt out of place. The decisions made felt illogical and didnt flow with the story. This isnt like the 5 twins harem where each of the twin felt like it had an equal opportunity, this author wrote the story forcing us to feel that Emi has to end up with Maou. Some may say it is playful writing, the author trying to spice things up, but in the end it just left a bitter taste in everyones mouth, to sum it up : "what was the whole point of the past 10 volumes of development and adventure together if Maou suddenly decides this...?"

I did not even finish the manga yet but I randomly got spoiled in a Reddit post where the guy did not warn about spoilers so I will reply to this.

Yes.
The fans hated the ending so much, in the LN or the manga.
There have been saying about fans burning down their the devil is a part timer novel collection, sending death threats to the author or boycott the author or some stuff like that and it's basically true, search it up yourself. I don't even want to remember this anime if the ending was destined to be like this. Absolute bullshit. After basically focusing on emi and maou the whole story at the mid parts, I can't believe that the author wasted his huge potential by just changing that little detail. Of course, nobody deserves a death threat but I can basically understand the anger of the fans, if I ever were to not see the spoiler and think that emi and mou were to end up together but get a chiho x maou ending, I possibly could maybe do the same thing cause I would feel trolled by the author, but this trolling is basically not a joke, it's basically making me change my view of this anime.
There's a limit to the trolling the author can make before he exceeds the limit and damages his reputation. It would just waste my days, reading and expecting a great ending but getting greeted with this bullshit. However, the manga is still ongoing right? Maybe the author can change the ending at least. Then I wouldn't have a problem continuing to read it from where I left off. But for now, I will drop the manga right now. I've been already spoiled the shit ending the author made and because I am a romance main as well, who gets together with MC basically decides whether I continue the anime or not.
Chiho is probably the most hated character in the community solely because of that. Like come on, the ending is as if the spoken development between emi and maou was void and null. If I ever do continue to read even though the ending is the same shit or if it ever gets boring and I got nothing better to do, I might read it and then read a doujinshi before I read the ending, that's all.
Great job, author, I want to thank you for shitting this amazing anime.
It is also a fact that slow relationship development is better than a fast one, which is the case with emi and maou. Their relationship development is slow, like very slow, but that makes it even more healthy. Not to mention, emi actually indirectly kissed maou even before chiho did lol (when she drank Maou's a cup of water).

Had to make an account just so I can applause you. Well said.

Personally, I would've liked it if Emi and Maou ended up together, but if they didn't, then at most I'll be disappointed. That's it. People here that's justifying death threats because their fictional characters didn't end up together is completely weird.

You don't like the story? Drop it. It disappointed you? Never touch it again. Y'all are taking this way too seriously, touch grass.

since chi-chan is literally a high school girl and maou is probably a dude 100yrs old or more

Hello Beomjune! I would like to discuss the parts of where the author is in the right and where the fans, especially ones that became entranced by the first season of the Anime from Adult Swim, are in the right for feeling betrayed by the author. Please understand I do mean have a mature conversation and not a degrading yelling match. If that is okay with you, please reply with your opinions/contradictions, and I will be overjoyed to read them.

1. The Author is in his rights to end the story however he pleases. Especially since he wrote it in the local paper for anyone to read if they so wished. Along with the fact that he already had it finished before it was picked up as a manga and anime. He can keep it as true to his LN as he wishes no matter the backlash that will follow. And who knows! He may change the ending in the anime. He still has time but that is entirely his decision if the anime and manga go long enough to reach that point.

2. The Fans are in the right to feel betrayed. I will agree on this point. I will not lie about my personal feelings on how the author ended the story. I feel disgraced that the ending had me experiencing whiplash from that ball he threw from left field. It isn’t due to the fact that Emi and Satan are my main ship at sea. I have had my fair share of ships sink in the sea due to the direction the “captain” steered. It was more of the fact that the author spent an incredible amount of time on those two throughout the LN and would barely make an effort to have large enough chunks of the story for Chiho and Satan to develop a relationship worthy of the ending he provided. That is what has me in a tiff. Not enough that I have a strong enough urge to send death threats…that hasn’t happened for me yet in any type of literature. But, I can understand where they come from. Doesn’t excuse the excessive behaviour the “major” fans are demonstrating.

It is what it is.
I'm pretty sure 90% of Chiho's fans are her "fans" just because she's the one with the biggest tits overall in the whole anime anyways. I'm tired of writing replies on this anime's forums, adios.

yes.
