Hard not to compare these two. In both super-intelligent heroines outsmart their respective male companions as they travel. Along the way, lessons on economics are given - in S&W through trading chatter and in Maoyuu through Demon Queen actually teaching Hero how war can be beneficial, as well as sharing with other lowly humans the wonders of potatoes. The chemistry shared between Horo and Lawrence in S&W is mostly absent in Maoyuu; jokes instead being made about Demon Queen's large (and much-too-exposed) breasts; oft described as "useless meat". Hero intentionally being a clone of white knight JRPG leads doesn't help matters. It's still amusing to watch the two interact... just not with the same wordplay goodness in S&W. read more 

Hero vs Demon Queen. Throw in romance into the mix and complications develop. Both very similar in genre and great read. 

Both have the outsider character introducing ideas that are known to modern times but are considered revolutionary during their eras. 

The setting of both series is a fantasy world where there are unimaginable possibilities. Among its most interesting aspects are the existence of non-human beings. In fact, one of the main characters from both series possesses attributes that are more associated with a demon. The core of both series focuses on a human and non-human's relationship as we see how much they learn from each other. Both series also has mystery especially in regards with their world fiction elements. 

In some ways, I found these two series a bit similar. Both manga involves fantasy themes such as Demon King and Hero. Both manga series has a ton of comedy, drama, and humorous dialogues that are sometimes over exaggerated in context focused on the events happening throughout each chapters. Both manga also has a lighthearted mood/setting. 

In both series, there is warfare, politics, and supernatural elements. The main female protagonist also has a haughty personality with a sense of pride with their role in the story. Both series' main male protagonist also demonstrates unique skills of their own while develop relationships with others. Maoyuu Maoou Yuusha is also well-known for its economic themes while Madan no Ou to Senki focuses more on military campaigns and conflicts. 

Both stories incorporate a fantasy setting where there are demons, heroes, and magic involved, but they are both a bit different from regular hero stories in that they talk about somewhat complex ideas like whether defeating the demon lord will actually bring about peace. While Maoyuu tends to talk about trade and economics and their effect on nations; Mismarca uses diplomacy and negotation to communicate complex ideas. 

Both mangas uses lots of technical terms in their ways (alchemical and economical). Most of the chapters can't be understood after reading it only once. Both female main characters are looking for a place to fit in while roaming in a prejudice-filled world, and using the male main character seems to be the best way to do it. 

They're both about a demon king/queen who isn't a stereotypical "big bad". The Maou in both doesn't advocate violence, and is instead interested in helping humans. Plus, both Maoyuu and Shina Dark are comical. 

Set in a fantasy world, both series takes a rather unique approach at fantasy fiction. The main female characters has strong wills and unique skills that makes them stand out with their roles. Both series has a lot of focus on relationship dynamics. For Maoyuu, there's a bit of politics that is added to the mix while Akagami no Shirayuki-hime revolves with shoujo themes. As their story develops, we learn much more about their world, the roles of the characters, and their purpose.
