Very funny and awesome manga. At first, I didn't think it would be a good manga and I thought I would check it since I was free but turns out to be good. Apparently, the story is about the demon lord trying to help the hero, Max, get back to his former self who defeated the demon lord 10 years ago. As you can tell from the synopsis, the hero, Max, back then was strong but now, ten years later. He is like, well, a jobless person. The demon lord was disappointed so to correct Max now, the demon lord is going to "fix" him ... up and maybe fight again like old times. The relationship between them is pretty funny so i am looking forward to more about them. So far, I have only read 22 chapters so I do not know if there's going to be more of a serious fight but i do know that humans do not like demons. It's pretty good, so I recommend it to anyone who likes hero stories but a funny story instead.

The drawing style is really nostalgic, it reminds me of the dragon quest series
The plot is also simple, not annoying, the content is easy to understand, no different from the series I read when I was a kid. But its content is a bit adult, to make it easier to imagine, it is quite similar to the ishuzoku reviewers
The female protagonist is very cute, her adult version is extremely charming.
The only thing that makes me a bit disappointed is that the main character, even in his prime, is not as strong as I thought. His appearance is clearly a standard hero but he is not ... the strongest person in the hero team, I even suspect he is the weakest, only strong when buffed.
While in the narration of other characters at the beginning of the series, he seems to be able to overwhelm the other 3 people in the team

The story is of a Demon Lord who was defeated 10 years ago gets reborn. After his rebirth he decides to pay the Hero a visit who defeated him years ago, giving him news of his rebirth and announcing war on whole of Humankind once again trying to revive the whole rivalry between the Heroes and Demons. But to her shocking disappointment the hero was no longer a hero. Instead he was a jobless bum just lazing around in a trash filled apartment. Seeing his condition, the Demon Lord shows pity on him and decides to help him regain his former glory.

1) Art (8): First ... of all about its unusual art. At first it was pretty weird for me to see swollen characters but as time passed I got used to it and I even started to like it so much so that I would definitely give it a rating of 8-8.5 or so for art. The art compliments with the comedic scenes it presents well and the battle scenes are drawn so beautifully that it is a eye candy to watch.

2) Characters (8.5): This is where it truly shines. The character designs of heroes crew are spot on to make me feel something fresh. The heroes had a grand vibe oozing screaming that they are heroes instead of those weak ass heroes elsewhere that when placed with commoners you can't even distinguish them. All of them different and unique personalities and I like that. I like the MC as he does not give a shit unless necessary instead of being a goody two shoes.

Now to the Demon group. The Demon Lord too has good design-both the Child one and the Human one, combo of cute and beautiful in one packet. Her personality is the one I like the best as she tries her best to help the hero. The Demon Lord's lackeys designs are the best I have seen in some time ngl. They just invoke that fresh feeling and has that demonic and powerful vibe.

(BTW my favourite character in the manga is the ghost living in the Hero's apartment.)

3) Plot (7.5): To be honest I was just expecting this manga to be one of those types in which the man (here Hero) have to take care of a child (here Demon Lord). But to my surprise it was the exact opposite. Seeing them run into various shenanigans just made me laugh hard.
And that sublot of all that Kingdom vs Republic revolt was just cherry on the top of cake.

(And it is stacked with some good fanservice too)

4) Enjoyment (8): This was one of those manga which I bingeread as it gave me no time to let me get bore. I was constantly in for an absurd and joyous ride and I enjoyed every bit of it. I recommend this to everyone who like some comedy with a little pint of ecchi.
