This is a prequel of Hito Kui. There is a rash of sudden group deaths, where all members die of a heart attack. These people receive a chain mail and are then drawn into the lair of a man-eating monster, a "Hitokui." Generally, only the last person standing survives, with the others dying of a heart attack in the real world when they are eaten by the monster. High school student Youta is drawn into one of these lairs, which doesn't go quite as the monster planned. He survives, and retains his memories of what happened there. However, it looks like the world of man-eating monsters is not finished with him yet...

The new demon king, Vermot the 13th, is bored of his life in the demon kingdom, so he decides to take over the human world. He heads there with his sword and his pretty maid, Sara. With his powers and abilities, he is easily able to take over the first kingdom he targets, reduce the surviving princess to his pet, and slaughter any righteous heroes that come his way. He loves how he can take whatever he wants with his own power in this new life, rather than it already having been given to him (as in the demon world). He's not planning to stop his conquest anytime soon...

12-year-old Kuze An wants to become a pro shogi player. She has the same impressive memory as her shogi-playing grandfather, which allows her to remember anything if she's seen it just once. Still, that's not enough to let her win easily against the boys in her tier. This is a story about An and her rivals in the game of shogi, as they strive to reach pro level.

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Quote:
Hito Kui is a variation on the survival game genre, with some interesting twists. It's apparently also a prequel of another work, so it's one to check out for existing fans. O-ki no doku desu ga is kind of a 'what if the bad guy wins' story right now. It was kind of novel at first, but it got depressing after a while. I suspect there must be some serious challenge to his power later on in the series. If you are interested in sushi preparation, Edomae no Shun is the one to check out. If you like shogi, then Ougari is the one to try.
My opinion:
Hito Kui: Origin - If you are in the mood for a survival game involving monsters, then check this one out.
Edomae no Shun: Shun to Daigo - If you like sushi and like food competitions, then this may feed your need...
Oki no Doku desu ga, Bouken no Sho wa Maou no Mono ni Narimashita. - If you want a demon as a protagonist and want to see how he is going to conquer the world, then take a look at this manga.
Ougari - On the other hand, if you like shogi manga, this is a nice short 3 volume manga you can check out.
