There is something about a problem being solved in a volume on a manga that just leaves you feeling good from start to finish. Uchimura Denosuke takes on his latest task in getting to a root problem within the Demon Kings Army and resolving a magic dilemma. I found it fun and relaxing to see Uchimura figure out a problem and lead the masses to victory. My only issue is that the Demon King seems incredibly intellegent...so I wonder why he was unable to put other people in certain places to prevent some of his issues from getting this bad...but then again, it is a hard thing to do to lead and to find motivated individuals for all of your programs. Fun fun story and the world continues to expand. I am finding myself really pulled into this story and it hits all the right buttons for me to keep me reading at a hurried pace. Art, pacing, story, and above all...fun!

A very solid second volume, the new additions are great and really add something to the series so far.
Uchimura is an intriguing MC, he seems like he would just be a boring type of MC that all the supporting characters would do the heavy lifting but he really stands out!
All the others are awesome too mind you!
That Last panel was quite foreboding so I cant see the developments in the next one!

This volume of the story took a much softer and less comedic twist to the story which while was still very enjoyable, it wasn't quite what I was expecting when I purchased the manga. The artwork was still stunning and the overall storyarc was touching, especially when it came to the merchant and his daughters. Looking forward to the next volume.

Uchimura is given another task straight form the demon lord. He must work with Sylphid, the magic expert, to create a means for the weak to be able to use magic. The goal is to help close the class gap and keep people safe.
Ulmandra clearly has a crush on Uchimura at this point. It is blatantly obvious, but it seems like he can’t tell. The gag from the first volume of accidentally doing things that are culturally romantic and thinking he’s just making a nice gesture continues. So he is definitely leading her on, even if it’s not intentional. I mean, giving her a goblet he is explicitly told is intended for newly weds? That seems a bit blatant. He has to be ridiculously oblivious.
The demon lord’s kingdom is unexpectedly wholesome and friendly, but we learn not all countries are like that. The country of Rampaige seems more demon-like. Their ruler is pretty fickle and crazy. He even laughs at the idea of kindness. It could be just him and not the whole country, but Butagarian, the merchant, seems like he doesn’t believe in kindness either. But Butagarian himself is more kind than he lets on, so the world seems to have layers.
Uchimura was given a chunk of runestone in the beginning of the book. I’m not sure what happens to that specific chunk. He never explicitly shows it to Sylphid, and she does not say if she uses it to make the piece she gives him.
