A 2012 manga written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, the same author of Kongoh Bancho. Published on Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine. The anime version, released in 2014, is currently being available worldwide in Netflix.

The kingdom of Brittania has fallen under the rule of the Holy Knights, a group of warriors that before served loyally to the king but now for some unknown reason had revolted against him, and is forcing the population to help them in a war against some unknown enemy. Princess Elizabeth, a young teenage girl who knows nothing about fighting, decides then to search for the Seven Deadly Sins, renegade knights who were supposedly killed ten years ago. She ends up finding one of them: Meliodas, the sin of Wrath. However, Meliodas is amnesiac and don't remembers exactly what happened when the Sins supposedly betrayed the kingdom, but was searching for his companions together.

Together with Meliodas's talking pig Hawk and his Mama(a giant pig who carries Meliodas' bar on her back), Elizabeth and Meliodas search for the other Seven Deadly Sins while fighting the Holy Knights all over the Kingdom.


 * Arbitrary Skepticism: Brittania is filled with magical warriors and creatures, but a lot of characters can't believe a pig is talking when they meet Hawk.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Elizabeth in her waitress's outfit. Suzuki doesn't bother to actually draw the belly button a lot of times though.
 * Complete Immortality : Ban don't ages and any wound done to him quickly regenerates.
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Meliodas's bar "Boar Hat" is on top of Hawk's mom head; therefore, is a hat.
 * Fanservice: Women wearing skimpy outfits, plus extremely perverted male protagonist, equals a lot of this. An Ban is there to fill the female(and gay) niche.
 * Miss Fanservice: With Meliodas perving all around her and making her wear a revealing costume, Elizabeth qualifies.
 * Missing Mom: Elizabeth's mom died when she was very young.
 * Older Than He Looks: Meliodas is thousand years old; he looks like a child.
 * Peek A Bangs: Elizabeth's hair covers her right eye.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Diane is 750 years old, but only looks and acts like she is in her later teens a best. She isn't really immortal; giant just age slowly than humans.
 * Talking Animal: Hawk, and it seems unique to him; other characters get surprised at hear him talk and his Mama doesn't talk human language either.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Elizabeth is an unique case, because she only wears stockings on one leg on her waitress uniform. Class S.
