Maou na Ore to Ghoul no Yubiwa

The positives
+This manga is fairly short and it does not drag the story out
+The art is fair and looks nice during the action scenes

Neutral aspects
The characters in this manga span from very average and boring to interesting and entertaining. It will come down to whether you enjoy the stereotypes used in this manga.

The negatives
-The story is poor and not just because it's one that is fairly common in manga of this type, but because while reading you will find that you just don't care about the story.


Overall this manga is not bad, but just very average. While I did enjoy reading through, it's not a manga that I would recommend unless you are board and have a little bit of free time and want to read a stereotypical action harem .

A typical action harem.

Story: 6
Very typical story, with a slightly different twist on the "contract girl" premise like in Sekirei or other works where the MC subjugates a bunch of superhuman girls. Superheavy plot armor. Plot twists pretty obvious.

Art: 8
The art's probably the biggest selling point. Characters were cute, distinct, clean. Fighting scenes are flashy, but detailed. Art conveys the majority of the humor in this series, if any.

Characters: 7
Standard fare harem characters. Token childhood friend, token tsundere loli, token brocon imouto, and token cannot-be-more-generic chosen-one-heroine. The only good thing about them is they contribute to the growing world/genre of monster girls, featuring: Nephilim, ghoul, red dragon, and TBD(?). Nothing else about them is memorable.
Main male lead is slightly decent. He doesn't hesitate, he does his best, he isn't super duper dense or perverted, and he's OP but doesn't boast. Sadly, he comes off as really cheesy. Super cheesy. Because of how short the series is, no rapport is built between the reader and the MC, making him feel like a try-hard even though he's not designed to be.

Enjoyment: 7
As much as you'd enjoy eating a fast-food burger. It's trash but it tastes good. It was nice to see a harem where the girls love and care for the MC, and don't pull melodramatic crap or overdo jealousy wars. It was also really nice to see most of the heroines don't have chests that look like they'll pop at any time; that shit gets suffocating after a while.

Overall: 7. Read it, don't think too much about it. You're here for the pretty girls anyways.

There's something of substance in the premise here but that substance is greatly underutilized. There is a tremendous lack of explanation which makes everything feels random. The plot jumps around randomly pulling out plot points without properly developing them and hence having everything feeling rushed without actually giving a feeling of any structure or solid development. A good example of this is the ending, where they seem to pull an attempt at making the villains sympathetic, despite discussing how they massacred a heroine's family only a chapter or so before, and hence this fails to work at all. The characters too seem to have interesting personalities and traits in general, but the manga doesn't really seem to develop that all that well at all and the unique traits of all the characters don't really shine through. The motivations for most characters, especially Zonmi, feel tremendously underdeveloped. And in the end, beyond possibly Manami, most of them feel quite forgettable. The art is pretty good. 

tl;dr: A relatively interesting premise and characters but one that tries to push forward without properly developing anything at all.

One day you receive a text telling you to become the next elite, A Demon Tamer, and then you delete the text thinking it's just rubbish, the next day in the mail what do you receive? A beautiful ghoul girl. The basis of this manga is that the main character has three monster girls he has to become the master of. Along with a fun Harem, it also includes a great story, good art, and amazing character development. If you enjoy monster girls, harem, or just a great manga in general, please, enjoy this Manga to your hearts content!
