Even a fearsome, powerful Demon King is no match for the kabe-donnote .
Alvida, the female king of the Demon Kingdom, is about to be defeated by the Hero of the Human Kingdom and his party. Faced with no other option, she surrenders and pleads for mercy, purely so she can try and kill him again once he's alone. The Hero obliges... on one condition: he wants Alvida to be his wife. After overcoming the initial shock, Alvida accepts the Hero's strange proposal. Of course, what he doesn't know is that she plans on using their newfound courtship to finally strike her mortal enemy down once and for all. But what will happen when she finds herself actually falling for him instead?
Demon King GFnote is a Fantasy/Romantic Comedy/Slice of Life webcomic written and illustrated by Twitter artist PeaCh88 and is part of a series of comics titled "Tomboy Girlfriends" (the others include Tomboy GF, Oni GF and Sadist Junior). It can be read on his Twitter page here
alongside his other comics. The comic has also been dubbed in Japanese by Merryweatherey and can be found on his YouTube page here.
Tropes:
- Becoming the Mask: Alvida initially used her courtship with the Hero to try and kill him once his guard was down, but eventually fell in love with him for real and thus abandoned her plans once she finally married and later started a family with him.
- Cassandra Truth: In one comic, Alvida tells the Hero how her people used to be able to transform into dragons but lost the ability eons ago. Right as she says this, Zenith unintentionally transforms into a dragon by sneezing. The astonished Hero tries to tell Alvida what just happened, but Zenith turns back into her normal form before Alvida can turn her head. Because of this, Alvida assumes the Hero is messing with her and gets mad at him.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: "Demon King GF 2" has Alvida left to take care of her baby daughter as Hero goes on an emergency quest. She ends up unintentionally making her daughter cry twice because of the sadistic look her face makes when plotting something evil. Her Meido Shizu ends up remembering that Hero left a note for his wife before he left, in which he tells Alvida to "stop making scary faces in front of the baby."
- Crossover: A pinup involved Alvida meeting one of PeaCh88's other characters, Kirika of Oni GF. A continuation of that pic had Kirika wondering where the Demon King is, not noticing that the smaller horned woman (who's clearly annoyed) in front of her is who's she's looking for.
- Cuteness Overload: In one bonus strip, the Hero asks Alvida to blow him a kiss before he sets out on a quest. She does so reluctantly, and he finds the result so cute that he collapses, Giving Up the Ghost.
- Dating Catwoman: This comic details the relationship between a lady demon king determined to conquer all humanity in the name of her kingdom and a human hero trying to protect humanity from said lady demon king.
- Distant Finale: The end of the first comic takes place 70 years into the future, with Alvida and an elderly Hero reflecting on their relationship together.
- Dynamic Entry: In the second issue, the Hero is about to square off with a gigantic monstrous boar in an epic battle. Then Alvida drops out of the sky like a meteorite and lands feet first on the boar's spine, killing it instantly.
- Embarrassing Old Photo: In one episode, Shizu shows the Hero an album full of photos from Alvida's childhood. Alvida catches the two of them cooing over how cute she used to be and clobbers the Hero in angry embarrassment.
- Giving Up the Ghost: The Hero does this in one bonus strip after he collapses from Cuteness Overload at the sight of Alvida blowing him a kiss. Zenith tries desperately to revive her father as her mother stands proud over getting one on the Hero.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Alvida and Hero eventually have half-human/half-demon children together. The second comic introduces their eldest child Zenith and a later comic reveals they have four more kids down the line.
- Interspecies Romance: The comic is centered around the relationship between a Draconic Humanoid demon and an empowered human.
- I Surrender, Suckers: A defeated Alvida pulls this on the Hero and his party in the first comic, begging them to spare her. When the Hero obliges, she smugly gloats that she could get out of jail easily, find the Hero and then kill him. Of course, what she didn't expect was that he only spared her on the condition that she be his wife.
- Knew It All Along: In the final pages of the first comic, a now elderly Hero reveals that he knew Alvida plotted to kill him during the early days of their relationship. The reason he had never done anything to stop her was because he wanted to believe she can change for the better.
- Magical Accessory: One episode features a magical necklace which allows the person wearing it to hear their spouse's thoughts. Alvida uses it to figure out whether the Hero is cheating on her while he's away on quests, only to get confirmation that she's the only woman on his mind.
- Men Can't Keep House: The Hero is shown to be a massive slob in one issue, leaving his dirty clothes and used cup noodle containers all over the place. Alvida is not amused when she discovers this.
- Patchwork Kids: When we get a glimpse of what their family looks like in in an extra comic, we see that all of their kids carry traits from both parents in different ways; Zenith in particular has her mother Alvida's bright red eyes and red-bronze skin color as well as her father the Hero's black hair (her horns and tail also match his light skin somewhat).
- Perverted Sniffing: In one episode, Alvida ends up sniffing the Hero's shirt while cleaning up his messy room. She gets horribly embarrassed when he catches her in the act, and his attempt to calm her down by revealing that he's done the same thing to her clothes does not help.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We don't really see the Hero's adventuring party again outside the first episode. Indeed, when we see the Hero go on a quest in "Demon King GF 2", he is alone and it's not known whether or not the party went with him during his later off-screen quests.
