The manga "Maoujou no Ryourinin ~Kowamote Mazoku bakari da kedo, White na Shokuba desu~" (roughly "The Chef in the Demon Castle ~Lots of Grim Demons, but a White Workplace~") by YM-Kei has reached a new milestone: The series has surpassed the 1 million copies sold mark. To commemorate this, an official special website was launched on June 19, 2026.
The site features a congratulatory comment from the author as well as an interactive "Demon Type Test" that allows readers to find out which demon type they are closest to. Additionally, a greeting video was released on the official YouTube channel "Bunch Manga Channel," featuring voice actors Miyu Tomita (as Tsumugi) and Junichi Suwabe (as Zolt). Both actors had previously participated in a drama CD adaptation of the series.
A giveaway is also running on the series' official X account: Until August 31, 2026, fans can win a shikishi signed by YM-Kei, Tomita, and Suwabe by sharing a post with the hashtag #まおりょ.
Furthermore, a collaboration café has been announced, scheduled to take place in Tokyo from August 7 to 23, 2026. The timing coincides with the release of the sixth volume on August 7, 2026. Details about the café will be announced at a later date.
The manga has been serialized since 2023 on the web platform Kurage Bunch, published by Shinchosha. The story is set in a demon castle, where the homeless protagonist Tsumugi is transported from her own world. She struggles to keep her new job in the castle kitchen, which at least secures her shelter and food, while dealing with the rough demons. The blend of gourmet elements and romantic comedy has proven successful.
