De: Inori., Akamoku

Narrado por: Adelaide West

It takes all kinds to make a hero!After the Great Human-Demon War comes to a close, humanity establishes the Hero Institute, a school for training the next generation of heroes with the assistance of magical devices known as Gear. Ruchika, a free-spirited demon girl with a knack for fighting and zero interest in book learning, journeys to the human realm in hopes of joining the Institute. There, she meets Leonie, a star in the classroom who struggles on the battlefield despite being the daughter of the Almighty Hero, who defeated the Demon Lord. Instantly falling head over heels, Ruchika proposes to Leonie—right in the middle of their entrance exam! Do these two girls have what it takes to overcome their weaknesses and become heroes? And can love really bloom between a human and a demon?

Off to a good start

Short and sweet, but very much just the beginning of a story. Personally, as a slice of life and world building enjoyer, I liked it quite a lot for what it is. If you're hoping for something with a substantially meaty plot, you might be disappointed though. I'm very interested to see where it goes in the future!

As an aside, I try and judge each series by an author on their own merits and not compare too much, but I can't deny the parallels and inversions between this and "I'm in Love with the Villainess" are pretty numerous (I'm not complaining but it might not be for everyone).
