The New Hire is the Demon Lord
Also known as: Sinipsawoneun Mawang, 신입사원은 마왕
by Hauni, Sumni
Dullahan, the demon lord who once terrorized the world, finally revives in modern-day Korea, eager to take revenge against the hero who defeated her centuries ago. But all she can find is his descendant, Yong-Rae Kim: a hapless, incompetent office worker with no prospects and no joy in life. Ending his life now would only be doing him a favor, so Dullahan decides to improve his life first… but Yong-Rae's two-timing girlfriend and his many strict superiors at work stand in the way. Can Dullahan crush the office hierarchy and awaken Yong-Rae's dormant hero abilities to make her revenge more satisfying? (Source: WEBTOON, edited)

Read the full take
A demon lord who wants revenge wakes up in modern Korea, only to find that the hero's descendant is a hapless office worker. I love that setup, because the clash of old-world menace and cubicle life is an easy source of laughs. The comedy is light and goofy, and the full-colour pages make the demon's dramatic reactions pop. The finished run keeps things tidy, so the story does not overstay. The honest catch is that office-comedy gags can repeat, and the incompetent-descendant angle is familiar to anyone who reads a lot of comedy fantasy. Some jokes lean on the same reaction, and the stakes stay modest. Still, it is a warm, silly read, and easy to dip into. If you want a fun, easy comedy with a demon at the desk, give it a go.
