Archdemon Zagan hires his unsavory friend, the sorcerer known as Purgatory Barbatos, to guard Archangel Chastille Lillqvist from the shadows. Barbatos takes to watching over the girl—which really means watching her constantly screw things up, trust people she shouldn’t, and inevitably bawl her eyes out. But something about Chastille and her waterworks may just have a special effect on the sourpuss sorcerer… The tale of this odd couple begins after the seventh volume of Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?
This is the slowburn version of An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride. I… I actually almost like it more. It’s a very forbidden love kind of angle, with other things going on that keeps the pair at a distance. Tsundere. Grumpy x sunshine. Terrible self-confidence. Cute af.
