Kyou kara Maou!

Kyou kara Maou! revolves around Yuri Shibuya, your average Japanese teenager. One day, Yuri sees a classmate being harassed by bullies. Thanks to this intervention, his friend is able to escape, but unfortunately Yuri becomes the new target of the bullies in the process and gets his head shoved into a toilet. But instead of water, the toilet contains a swirling portal that sucks him into another world, largely resembling medieval Europe. There, he is told that he will become the next Demon King due to his black hair and black eyes, traits only possessed by the demon's royal lineage. Yuri's arrival is met with some skepticism by some of the demons, who view him as unworthy to be their king. However, after Yuri wins a duel by utilizing his magical powers, the demons slowly begin to acknowledge him as their monarch. Yuri must now learn what it takes be a true Demon King, as he tries to keep the peace between demons and humans in this strange new realm.

Flushed Into an Alternate World!

Yuuri Shibuya was just a normal Japanese high school kid who likes baseball and had a strong sense of justice until one day on his way home from school he sees a former classmate of his, Murata, being bullied. He steps in to try and stop the bullies but they just grab him instead and dunk his head in a toilet in the girl's bathroom. But for some reason, when his head enters the water, Yuuri is sucked into the toilet and ends up in another world. When he wakes in an unfamiliar area, he initially assumes that he is at a theme park because of the medieval-style clothes the people are wearing. He tries to talk to the villagers but they attack him. Adalbert von Grantz rides up on a horse and saves him from the villagers and uses some form of magic to unlock the local language hidden in Yuuri's soul. Conrad Weller then rides up and after a short fight Adalbert runs away. Conrad takes Yuuri to a small village where he meets Gunter von Christ who tells him that he is the new king the Demon Kingdom. They then take Yuuri to the castle where he meets Wolfram von Bielefelt and Gwendal von Voltaire, Conrad's two half brothers (who do not look anything alike!).
