Maoh: Juvenile Remix (魔王 ~JUVENILE REMIX~, Maō Jubunairu Rimikkusu, lit. "Demon King") is a Japanese manga series written by Kōtarō Isaka and illustrated by Megumi Ōsuga, both adapting and serving as a continuation of Isaka's 2004 novel 3 Assassins (Grasshopper), the first novel in his Hitman novel trilogy, and his 2005 short story collection Maō. The series is about a young man who discovered his power and uncovered a rising leader's secret to rule Nekota city. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from June 2007 to June 2009 and compiled into ten tankōbon volumes. In North America, the series was licensed for English release by Viz Media.
Andō is a high-school student who possesses the ability to make anyone within a 30-step radius to say whatever he thinks. Inukai is the young chief of the Grass Hopper, a self-defense force who claims to maintain Nekota town's peace. When Andō realises Inukai is using inhumane methods to control the population, he decides to stop Inukai with his ability. However, Andō isn't the only enemy Inukai has, and vice-versa.
Maoh: Juvenile Remix, written by Kōtarō Isaka and illustrated by Megumi Ōsuga, is based on Isaka's own novels, 3 Assassins (Grasshopper) and Maō (respectively published by Kodansha in 2004 and 2005).[3][4] It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from June 6, 2007,[5] to June 24, 2009.[6] Shogakukan collected its chapters into ten tankōbon volumes, released from November 16, 2007,[7] to August 18, 2009.[8]
Viz Media licensed the manga for English release in North America in 2009.[9][10] The ten volumes were released from May 11, 2010,[11] to April 10, 2012.[12]
A spin-off series, titled Waltz, was serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Shōnen Sunday from October 10, 2009,[13] to February 10, 2012.[14] Shogakukan collected the chapters in six tankōbon volumes, released from March 12, 2010,[15] to May 11, 2012.[16]
