Just finished chapter 2 of Hero and the Demon King. Go read it.
Go read it right now.
I've never been into manga, but I am loving this poo poo.
It's essentially what would happen if at the end of a Dragon Quest game the Hero and the Villain agreed that the war needed to be ended, but that the current economic state of both sides was dependent on the war continuing and that society on both sides would be untenable if it was to immediately cease. And then they ally together to make the kind of cultural and socioeconomic changes necessary for both sides to continue functioning after the war economy is gone. And then they seal the deal with what is essentially a political marriage.
poo poo's fascinating.
Yes the Demon Queen is pretty fan-servicey, but she drops the Evil Queen duds as early as chapter 2 for something less ridiculous looking.

Nah, I won't even excuse Maou Maou Yuusha for the T&A. It's crammed full of fanservice of almost every female character, especially Demon Queen. It's great if you can get past that though.
Ah. Still only partway through Ch. 3, didn't realize it was going to pick that back up. Ah well.

Knights of Sidonia(Action, Adventure, horror, Romance, Sci-fi, Seinen) is a sci-fi series by a dude who just wants to draw the craziest sci-fi stuff he wants, all the time. The story follows the colony ship Sidonia, which has fled the solar system after a type of alien lifeform called the Gauna destroyed Earth. The Gauna are nearly indestructible and can reform their shapes at will to form almost anything they want, be it defense or weaponry, they are insanely dangerous. Humanity has long since transcended mere male/female and basic reproduction systems, opting for cloning, the ability to be unisex if you desire, and incubatorial schooling simply in the interests of surviving. A human can reach full maturity and brainpower within five years of cloning, which is needed since the Guardian Pilots die like flies against the Gauna. The characters are incredibly boring(until one is introduced much later in the series) and apparently this is the first series the author is making with characters he's trying to design to be more than just cardboard cutouts, and it shows. The story and character interactions are downright schizophrenic at times and weird gags and fanservice are thrown in at the most awkward times early on. Still, it improves drastically later on, and to be frank, the sci-fi art porn ought to keep folks happy until then. Dude draws some outstanding horrifying alien creatures and awesome mechanical men/spaceships and it's clear that he upgrades stuff on a whim just so he can draw new stuff. There's a lot I love about this series, but it's not perfect. That said, it does some stuff in some of the recent chapter that I never thought I'd see a series do, and it was pretty fantastic.
The anime is up on Netflix, and it's really good. The series is drawn from the latter part of the manga, iirc.
