Kyo Kara Maoh -  God (?) Save Our King! ( Vol. 1)
An off-the-wall mixture of comedy,bishonen(beautiful boys), and fantasy,Kyo Kara Maoh!plays like an episode ofEscaflownestaged by the cast ofGravitation. Yuri Shibuya is a nerdy high school student whose only real love is baseball. When a group of thugs shove him into a park toilet, he's transported to a parallel world whose inhabitants hail him as their long awaited Demon King. Life is very different in this alternate reality: Yuri slaps the noble Wolfram for an insult--and wins him as a fiancé. When Yuri protests they're both boys, he's told "that's not unusual here." Although his magical powers are largely untested, Yuri has a strong sense of justice and works to become a good king. Despite his many inadequacies ("I can barely tie my shoes!"), Yuri radiates a good-natured warmth that will appeal to fans ofLove, HinaandDokkoida.
