Demon Prince Poro’s Diaries

Demon Prince Poro’s Diaries

A manga about the powerful Demon Prince Poro Kurokami who wants to live a quiet life in the human world.

This series was quickly canceled in Weekly Shonen Jump. Hitsuji Gondaira‘s art is pretty good but the story about a demon who ends up using their monstrous powers while hiding their identify just doesn’t really go anywhere interesting. Luckily Gondaira’s current series Mission: Yozakura Family has picked up in popularity after the vacuum left after The Promised Neverland and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ended.

Mission: Yozakura Family

Mission: Yozakura Family

A manga about a high school boy who marries his childhood friend and into her elite spy family. Now he must train to become a spy himself and protect his wife from enemies and himself from her over protective elite spy brother.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

Mission: Yozakura Family isn’t a bad manga. I like the unique spy family members who all have unique specifications. The overprotective and obsessed sibling plays into the sibling love troupe that I’m not a fan of. Still, this manga by Hitsuji Gondaira is very competent and entertaining.

Unfortunately it just doesn’t compete against other popular series in Weekly Shonen Jump. I’m pretty surprised it’s lasted as long as it has. Timing is probably a huge factor since Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, The Promised Neverland, and Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs are ending. It might last a little longer but unless something changes soon this series will join the graveyard of canceled Weekly Shonen Jump manga.
