With an alliance between the two nations being the ultimate goal, it’s up to Roland to take command of the king’s forces to ensure that no ill fate befalls them on their journey, and his mettle will be tested before long...

Roland keeps on rollin’ and doing his thing trying to find a normal life and continues being awesome at everything as he does so. He saves an orchard, a kingdom, a couple of love lives, and probably something else I’m missing amidst it all.
I randomly decided to check back in with this series because I had let it fall off my radar and missed the antics of horny demon lord and perfect boy and their talent for making everything look easy. It was… okay.
The main problem still remains - a character with no difficulties doesn’t make for much of a story. That’s not new for these sorts of manga, but coming back to this I realized that the whole thing is kind of ickier than I remembered.
I really liked that, you know, Roland and Rila have a relationship where they’re thinking about kids and are generally more sexually active than, say, the next dozen manga combined. They make a cute pairing and Rila being a fruit-loving cat half the time and deciding to protect her newly adopted home are fun bits of business.
And, you know, it explores the idea of a couple having an open relationship and such. Or, it appears to. That’s what really struck me this time - Rila’s attitude towards sex is fine, but it’s actually an excuse to let Roland bang whoever he wants. Which I knew, but that’s ALL it is. Female agency in this story probably refers to a brothel.
None of the women in this story exist except to moon over Roland and let him have some sex if needed. It’s like a more perfect James Bond who also has a girlfriend waiting at home. That’s also what keeps this from being anything other than hetero male fantasy land.
The adventures this time are fine enough, although nobody who turns out to be evil is ever drawn as anything but. And, I’m calling out that love potion bit because it can’t figure out whether it’s a love potion, strong alcohol, or straight up mind control. It’s one of those things that irked me, but you focus on the small stuff when the big picture’s the same as usual.
Anyway, it’s no wonder that Roland’s so active - absolutely nobody in this story has any capability except him. They basically all just try and do something, fail at it, and then he’s there to clean that up and every other mess besides.
Rila’s actually the more interesting character thanks to her mannerisms, though the story gets more interesting as a whole when it bothers to remember that Roland is trying to blend in and be normal. The lowest stakes story here, a group date, is actually the one that’s the most enjoyable because it plays off this idea quite well (sadly Rila is not present).
This manga’s a Venn diagram with Roland at the centre and that does make it a bit less to return to after all this time. Yes, there’s an inherent fun to watching him stomp on fools and be right every time, but it’s definitely worn its welcome out for my tastes.
2.5 stars - I bet I end up reading another one at some point, though, but largely because I’m a big sucker for cat-prominent manga. Otherwise this is as hetero male fantasy as it gets and about as interesting as that implies.
