Alfalfa The Roach: Oct 13, 2012; You need to be a badass first.

In a distant land, the Demon King was defeated by a lone hero. Three months later, a tournament has been organized to decide who will be the new Demon King.

Among the contestants is a human Hero named Helck. Despite being a human, he's entered the contest to become Demon King himself.

Probably because he hates humans.

Helck is a fantasy action series created by Nanaki Nanao and published in Ura Sunday. It starts off as a sort of comedic series (think something like One-Punch Man), but a sequence of events gradually builds the world and sets up the plot of the story. The series was introduced to goons relatively recently, where it soon began to explode in popularity, so now's as good a time as any to make a thread for it!

CHARACTERS

Helck is an earnest, friendly, loyal, and all-around good-natured person who also happens to be an extremely powerful Hero. He wants to destroy all of humanity, so he enters the tournament to earn the title of Demon King!

Red Vamirio is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Empire. She is incredibly suspicious of Helck, thinking he's actually here to destroy all the demons. She later disguises herself as Anne to try and confirm her suspicions of him. Secretly the real hero of the story.

Hon is the secretary.

Piuy is Piuy.

For anyone who's only interested in reading out of goon hype, I can't promise this will meet any lofty expectations you have, but it is a well-made story with engaging characters, interesting scenarios, and a narrative that leaves you wanting more. It is being translated at a great pace, so there's no need to worry about it dropping off anytime soon.

In short, READ HELCK!

I still haven't gotten around to this, but I really really want to because someone described it as fantasy One Punch Man. Is that basically accurate or am I setting myself up for disappointment

For like the first couple chapters, it's a little bit like that. Once the plot gets going it settles into a nice fantasy action story that, while not unique, is really good at what it does, and it's still good at humor whenever it crops up.

If you're expecting it to be completely like OPM, then I'd say you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Just relax and enjoy the ride for what it is.

Maybe Helck's entire story is all lies and he actually is going to destroy the demons

Helck would never do something like that. He only hates humans.
