Mahou no Iroha

Not particularly good at sports, not very popular, and not very good at school, Naoki's middle school years are filled with video games and erotic books. Little does he know that he is destined to create magic and take over the world in the future. Then he gets Drunk with Power, decides to marry 500 women, and that gets him thrown out of power and get sentenced to death. With the power of magic, there still is hope, though, and one of his daughters, Iroha. goes back to the past in hope of saving her father from this cruel fate.

Mahou no Iroha is yet another screwball action-comedy manga from Inoue Kazurou, the same man who made Midori no Hibi and Ai Kora. One can read it here.
