Full comments from the cast, staff, and original author are below.

・Please tell us the “too XX!!” part of the character you play.

Dou is too kind!!Dou is a girl who warms the hearts of those around her and makes them feel happy.Dou herself doesn’t try to be kind, but when she behaves naturally, she is always kind, which I think is heartwarming♪

[Ohashi Ayaka (Jahy)]

・Please tell us the “too much!!” part of the character you play.

I’m so worried about Jahi!! The Demon King entrusted Jahi with being Dou’s tutor, and every day he gives Dou trials to help him become a respectable demon… but Dou is just too kind, and it never goes well. There are many scenes where I feel that Jahi’s strong sense of responsibility is taking a toll on his mental health, and as the actor, I’m quite worried (lol)!!

[Otsuka Akio (Ahriman)]

・Please tell us the “too much!!” part of the character you play.

He’s too sweet on his daughter. First of all, he’s so concerned about his daughter that he stops expanding his territory halfway through. That’s as long as there’s no fighting. Anyway, Du is so cute. I think everyone will understand Ahriman’s feelings, so I hope the viewers will empathize with me. I think you’ll enjoy the work even more.

[Masahiko Ota (Director)] This work is a rare fantasy comedy that is a little different from reincarnation stories, in which everyone is led around by the young but kind protagonist Du, but for some reason they end up happy. I took on this job because I was attracted by the challenge of how to portray young Du as realistically and cutely as possible. All the staff are working hard right now. Kuno’s performance as Du is also a highlight. Thank you very much.

[Takashi Aoshima (Series Composition)] I don’t think there is such a thing as a world that is only kind. Because everyone basically cares about themselves the most, it’s very difficult to be kind to someone else. This work is by no means a kind world. However, the small kindness of Dou, the daughter of the Demon King, who always thinks of someone, creates a small ripple in this world. I hope you will kindly watch over how Dou’s kindness will change the world and its people.

[Yuki Nakano (Character Design)] When I read the original work, I thought that Dou was just cute. I am doing my best to fully utilize the cute elements inside me so that you can feel the atmosphere of the original work. I hope you will enjoy the gentle yet chaotic fun space of Dou, who stirs up the parental instincts in your heart and Jahi and the others who are at her mercy, who are swayed by her, and who are innocent and warm after reading.

[Yuya Sakamoto (Original Author)] Thanks to the support of all the readers… it has finally been decided that “The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind!!” will be made into an anime~~~~~!!!! When I heard that it was going to be made into an anime, I was so happy that it felt like a dream… I was so emotional that I had a dream that I was like, “It was a dream!” I can’t wait for the time when everyone can see Dou and the others moving around lively in the anime! We hope you enjoy the story of Dou and his friends not only in the original work but also in the anime “Maomusu”…!
