LatestIt's all come down to this moment... the hero Nike must defend companion, the Guru Guru user Kukuri, as she attempts to seal away Demon King Giri. With the fate of the world in the balance, can they overcome the overwhelming dark powers of an entity that threatens to overwrite all of reality? And even if they do win, what will become of them?
The seal that for hundreds of years had confined the demon king Giri has worn off. A young boy named Nike is chosen (against his will) as the hero. Together with Kukuri, a girl who is the lone survivor of the tribe that had used black magic to seal Giri, they set off to save the world, RPG style.

Sharp parody that actually loves the genre it mocks.

Direction
Visual gags land at machine-gun pace.
