Kyou Kara Maou (Kyo Kara Maoh)

Kyou Kara Maou is the story of Yuuri Shibuya, a Japanese high school student who finds himself transported through a toilet to a strange, new world where he discovers he is the maou (demon king) of the mazoku (demon race) in Shin Makoku.

It is a fantasy, adventure, comedy with some romantic overtones. The series has been defined by various anime and fansites as boy’s love, shōnen-ai, reverse harem, and shōjo, because of its large cast of attractive male leads and an early incident leading to the engagement of Yuuri to another male character, Wolfram von Bielefeld.

The story is being written by Tomo Takabayashi as a series of ongoing light novels. It has also been converted into a manga as well as an anime series. The anime is 117 episodes (3 seasons) and at this time there are no plans for a fourth season. There are five OVAs under the name Kyou Kara Maou R. There is also a video game named Kyou Kara Maou: Shin Makoku no Kyujitsu and an audio drama.

FAQ
There are many spelling variations for the names in this series, including the series name itself. These discrepancies come from different romanisations of the original Japanese. The fansubs and the later official translations often disagree. However, all varieties can be found within the fandom and are generally accepted. They typically mark the era when fans came to the series or at least the method by which they were introduced to it.
