If you have problems reading fantasy with dumb and naive heroines, then you should look for another manga. If you don't, then you will probably like Superior.
This a 6 for me because the story is nothing more than another typical farfetched shoujo. The demon queen subscribes to the hero like a pet. Their relationship is constructed around cliches, and both their personalities lack genuineness and complexity. Sheila is also not very intelligent. Her personality would be right at home in a middle or high school.
Her adoption of the hero's peaceful ways was equally flimsy. The portrayal of war and peace in this manga is black and white (war is wrong; peace is right; there is absolutely no moral ambiguity in war whatsoever, end of story) that it provided none of the tension and depth that are intrinsic in violent stories. As soon as the hero told her war was wrong, she had a convenient epiphany and agreed. Just like that- even though war has been her whole lifestyle and makes up (in theory) a huge part of her identity, she very easily let go.
If you like most shoujo, give this a try.

I was expecting something good from the reviews but. Good enough, and the art is nice, but I don't even know how many stories I read with the exact same premise of "amazingly powerful and evil villain sees good in the world and promises loyalty to hero." Even with the slight variation in the main character being the villain, the queen is the generic manga-girl type with no real depth to her, with the added insult of the same generic backstory that's given to all characters of her subtype. =/
The manga is not bad, but probably worse--it was boring. No real emotional intensity and I never get the feeling that something is at stake. The pivotal relationship--between the demon queen and the hero--is nonexistant and shallow at best. If only I'd known ahead of time to turn off my brain a little more. Guess this'll show me to trust reviews here.

| Its a pretty good manga! by Sevodax on August 17th, 2009, 11:38am |

I really enjoy this manga, it turned out good even though it was supposed to be a short one...the only thing I don`t like is the fact that at the begging the relationship between Yuusha(hero) and Maou(demon lord) was being pushed to fast and after that it almost stopped, the main idea of the story changing(not a very much though)!
Anyway its a pretty good manga, thus I suggest you read it ^_^

| Um no. by blackrosevirus on August 14th, 2009, 8:49pm |

I honestly don't understand why this is so popular. I admit I like the main demon female but the story is so rushed and (even thought it's drawn well) the panels are just not placed in a very coherent order. The plot is boring, predictable, and cliche. Oh yeah and the main male lead is an angsty idiot. Some hero he'll turn out to be.

| This manga earns its name! by BrainFreeZe on August 11th, 2009, 10:14pm |

This is truly "superior" (yes terrible joke intended). Story may seem a bit simple yet it is still amazing. it is because the characters are amazing! The author uses a simple story yet creates outstanding development in the characters which is great and they are to die for <3 Sheila <3.
If you love beautiful girls (or boys) the drawings are great and attractive even without being ecchi. this manga has the best heroine in any manga i have or ever will read (i love Kurohime as well). she is beautiful, cute, strong, proud, umm perfect.
The manga balances everything well. Its has the right amount of humor, action, romance, drama, everything. Once you read it you will understand just how great this manga is. This manga deserves so much more recognition. I hope one day this will become one of the best selling mangas as i would gladly spend my money for this manga 
All in all a great read for action, romance, humor and everything else in between.

| quite good by sy_angelsz on July 17th, 2009, 10:55am |
|
| actually the problem ( if u called it problems) is about the drawing , if u like shonen drawn like manga, u probably found this less interesting, no bouncing boob , its just thin average body , yet beautiful girls.. still the plot is good , u have conflict, power struggle, revenge , worth to read, if u had a top ten manga, this one can fill the blank.. |

| Pretty good by lovelylalaland on April 29th, 2009, 5:52pm |

The artwork's great, it has romance, adventure, comedy, and action, and a pretty decent plot. Although the plot's been redone plenty times, what story is truly original nowadays? Regardless, i loved it. Interesting, cute, and a simple, exciting read. Btw, anyone notice how volume 1 had HP bars and now they don't? x)

The story is just amazing. The characters are lovable especially the demon queen and the story just captivates you. Sheila has become one of my most favorite heroine of all time; she his funny, strong and pretty. I can't wait to read more.

| Was kinda fun for a while... by Lord_Lucifiel on January 29th, 2009, 10:02am |

| It was really entertaining at first but at the same time, the plot was very simple and even slightly cheesy. Yeah, the interactions between much of the cast were awesome and so were many of the moments so the bad points could be overlooked. Spoiler (highlight to view) But the plot during much of Vol 6 and 7 kinda went downhill. It went from interesting into yet another highly cliched typical fantasy adventure. Even worse, the way the romance developed was really boring. It simply turned into yet another cookie-cutter romance.
