Summary:
The story is set in a world embroiled by war between Humans and Demons. The Humans' greatest hero invades the Demon Queen's castle determined to vanquish her. However, instead of fighting back, the Queen proposes an alliance with the Hero. She explains how a sudden end to the war can bring further chaos to the world as the Humans once united to stand against their common enemies would eventually begin fighting among themselves, with similar issues already occurring at the Demon Realm. Convinced by her words, the Hero joins forces with the Queen and together they execute a plan to bring prosperity and a lasting peace to both Humans and Demons alike.

This is essentially Spice and Wolf with demons. Both take place in a medieval fantasy setting, focus on romance between the two leads, revolve around economics and have funny dialogue and character interaction. And I won't complain about that, since I loved Spice and Wolf. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is a good series in its own right. You don't feel as if the plot is trying too hard to impress you or hold your attention. The Demon Queen and the Hero have an adorable romance developing and there's a great story in this anime, too. I would highly recommend this.
