Plot
Nora is an unruly demon who has defied the Dark Liege for far too long. For his own "education," he is sent to the human world where he must become familiar with Kazuma, the president of the school's student council. As Kazuma learns about the demon world, Nora also learns more about the human world than previously thought. [4]
Main characters
- Nora
- Also known as Cerberus, the vicious dog of disaster. Nora is a troublemaker and not very bright, but when his power is unleashed, it is said to surpass even that of the Dark Liege. Because he is not very bright, he has problems thinking. His main goal is to gather the Dark Liege's "soul stones." He will use these to force her to cancel the contract that binds him to Kazuma.
- The Dark Liege
- The Demon World's leader, who sends Nora off to the Human World for "obedience lessons." Though being evil is her full-time job, the Derk Liege never neglects her beauty regimen.
- Kazuma Magari
- Besides being smart and athletic, he is the president of his school's student council. His personality is usually cool and calculating, but when angered, Kazuma can be worse than an actual demon. He did not believe that monsters and demons existed until he was contacted by the Dark Liege, who sent Nora to him. He calls Nora a "disobedient dog", in spite of Nora's complaints.
- Barik
- He is a lieutenant-general in the Dark Liege's army. He travels to the human world to check on Nora and gives Kazuma a dogtag to help him use magic. He has a very short temper, but doesn't know when to give up. After being controlled by "The King Jelly", he shows a part of his softer side by thanking Nora, who helped him get rid of it.
- Riven
- He is a general in the Dark Liege's army. He is very laid back and is Barik's superior. He might be from a noble family, but anyone who asks has never lived to tell. He is usually calm and collected, but once he snaps you don't want to be near him. His mood is able to change the weather, and his fan is able to transform into a sword with the power of ice.
- Katsuma

- Kain
- The Dark Liege's right hand man. She has complete trust in him. Anything that she wants will be his unquestionable task. he resembles a man in a robe with a visor over his eyes, and in place of ears he has small bird-like wings.
- Leviath
- (info needed)
- Knell
- He is a demon in the resistance. He is also a bit of a pervert, meeting Nora after flirting with random girls. Fire Magi has no effect on him. His familiar spirit is Asto.
