Tortura tells Princess there's going to be position shuffles in the Hell-Horde, so the Princess indirectly asks her to call in everyone else before they're possibly swapped out, although everyone remains together. Princess and the Hell-Lord are teleported to an alternate world after being hit by lightning during a basketball game, and the Hell-Lord explains how he saved the parallel world in the two hours while Princess was still asleep.

He considered the show's central premise to be too repetitive despite some attempts to shake up the formula and compared the Princess to the protagonist of Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, finding the former a significantly less interesting lead. However, he found the other characters, such as Tortura and the Hell-Lord, to be more varied and was more positive of some "wholesome" moments in the show.Tis Time for "Torture," Princess Anime Series Review https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/tis-time-for-torture-princess/anime-series/.209290 Anime News Network Cormack Kevin March 30, 2024 April 2, 2024 See also Senyu, another manga series by the same author Notes References Works cited Chapter "Ch." is shortened form for chapter and refers to a chapter number of the Tis Time for Torture, Princess manga, as published in English by Manga Plus Other references External links https://shonenjumpplus.com/episode/10834108156649530410 Tis Time for "Torture," Princess at Shōnen Jump+ ja https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100071 Tis Time for "Torture," Princess at Manga Plus https://himesama-goumon.com/ Tis Time for "Torture," Princess official anime website ja manga 23471 Category:2019 webcomic debuts Category:2024 anime television series debuts Category:Anime series based on manga Category:Articles with quotation marks in the title Category:Comedy anime and manga Category:Crunchyroll anime Category:Fantasy anime and manga Category:Japanese webcomics Category:Medialink Category:Pine Jam Category:Shōnen manga Category:Shueisha manga Category:Tokyo MX original programming Category:Webcomics in print Category:Works about torture
