A Look Back at the Story and Manga
‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess is based on the fantasy comedy manga series written by Robinson Haruhara and illustrated by Hirakei. The manga was serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform from April 4, 2019, to August 19, 2025, with eighteen tankobon volumes released as of November 2025.
The story revolves around a princess who is captured by the Demon King’s Army. Instead of facing conventional pain, she is subjected to “tortures” designed to tempt her with irresistible delights like fluffy toast and hot ramen, in an attempt to extract her kingdom’s secrets. Crunchyroll will be streaming the second season outside of East Asia, ensuring global access to the beloved series.
