Introduction

In the most unlikely combinations, Ruler and Hero set out on an adventure together to change the world!

The story that has captured the hearts of million fans is reborn as an unprecedented anime!

The story that has come to be known as “MAOYU” began on an Internet noticeboard, and went on to become a novel loved passionately by more than a million people.

Written serially in the form of a dramatic novel, the story is based on the struggle between humans and inhabitants of the magical world. This profound theme is drawn out realistically, including knowledge of a wide range of themes from economics through to agriculture, creating a whole new world that has broken through the normal boundaries of fantasy and sounded a wakeup call amongst even the top creative players within the entertainment industry. The “MAOYU” series was released in book form, beginning in December 2010, and has achieved cumulative sales of 450,000 copies. At the same time as the story's momentum accelerates, developing into multiple comic series, a further project has allowed it to be turned into a TV anime.
