魔王と勇者の戦いの裏で [Maou to Yuusha no Tatakai no Ura de]

In this brisk, four-issue series from Overlap (2022–present), the action unfolds in the margins of a classic demon lord versus hero conflict. Rather than following the main combatants, the story focuses on the ordinary people and logistical players caught in the war’s wake. Written and illustrated by an emerging talent, the series offers a sly, ground-level perspective on fantasy tropes, adding a fresh, human-scaled layer to the genre.
