Maniacal Girl Lord Kaiserk

MANIACAL 'GIRL' LORD KAISERK

When Akira goes through an instantaneous change, and presents as, and masquerades himself as a fantasy anime 'girl', and wears his battle maiden costume, he takes the name Maniacal 'Girl' Lord Kaiserk. Even though he has the physical appearance of a female, he uses the male title 'Lord' for himself, and continues to think of himself as a male. Akira has always admired the villains of anime and manga, and wanted to design a villain's costume that would strike fear and horror into anyone seeing it. However, the Maniacal 'Girl' costume that he wears actually comes off as comical and laughable. Why he chooses to present as a female, when he is so averse to being in social contact with females, then squares off against other fantasy anime girls as their rival and villain, and even is quite embarrassed to understanding anything intimate about girls, is a mystery not fully explained in the manga. However, he does have his reasons, at least in his mind (see Chapter 18).

The Maniacal 'Girl' goes right to work by finding the Maho Shoujo Club, and challenging the three club members to display their 'Girl Power'. All three are defeated, but the way that the battle challenge played out, seems to imply that Maho Curry is actually more powerful than the Maniacal 'Girl'. Yet at this time Maho Curry does not now know how to access her power efficiently, or how to apply the full extent of it, therefore she seemingly appears to be weaker. Then again, to the Maho Shoujo Club member's advantage, the Maniacal 'Girl' is actually somewhat handicapped 'herself'. 'She' can not stand or bear to observe the female form, clothed or unclothed. This causes 'her' too many times to become disconcerted, 'throw in the towel', and beat a hasty retreat, confused and shamefully disarmed and defeated. 'She' will regroup and try again, but with similar results. Later, Akira will try and become accustomed to looking at girls in general, and himself as a girl in particular, but even this specialized training comes off as more of a liability than an asset.

Later in the story, Lord Kaiserk obtains an animal mascot that looks like a living Pokémon ball. But the mascot, far from being a terror to the Maho Shoujo girls, actually falls in love with their mascot. When the girls receive an app that allows them to do age progression or regression, the Manacle 'Girl' also develops one, and is able to change Lord Kaiserk into a young child. Far from menacing, that child is so, so cute and adorable, and so generates feelings of love and friendship, rather than the terror that they were supposed to become ! When little Dark Lord trips and falls on her back, 'she' bursts out crying, just like a little girl would to when surprised by a fall. Yui, the Club Manager, gathers little Dark Lord to nuzzle 'her' to her boobs, like a mother would do to comfort a frightened child. Little Dark Lord experiences the profound value of genuine love and empathy, perhaps for the first time. 'She' comes to understand that true love is far, far greater than the dark force that 'she' always invokes.

During Yui Furumi's 16th birthday party, the Maniacal Girl is teased and tempted by Karii Maki, so that the Maniacal Girl 'goes bananas' and creates an altercation, resulting in a complete disruption of the party. Later, in a Doujinshi afterstory, the Maniacal Girl is reprimanded by Chiyoko, and, more or less, apologizes for her part in the messy situation happening at the party.

In Chapter 57, the Maniacal Girl Lord Kaiserk finds out Minami's deep, dark secret. That Minami is a Bigender teenager, and can transform into a Maho Shoujo girl, Maho Curry. Likewise, Maho Curry / Minami Maki now knows that Akira Asaba cross-dresses as the Dark Lord. Both form an alliance to keep each other's secret.

## Trivia

In the Japanese language, the last name of 'Kaiserk' does not have a definitive meaning, but seems to have a masculine tone, and seems to mean ruling over the world that is the vast ocean or sea.
