Line 6:
When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. And when the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, well, let's just say she's less than happy.
 
A slapstick comedy set in the world of the ultra-serious high fantasy drama ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'', ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'' (''Mahou Senshi Riui'') has fun playing against type with the tropes of the fantasy genre. Lodoss's roots in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' are just as clear here as they are in the original series, with the stereotypical character classes -- who don't always act anything like you would expect they should.<ref>For example, it's pretty obvious that the party mage – who in any other D&D party would be [[the Smart Guy]] – used Intelligence as his [[Dump Stat]].</ref>

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Very much played straight... at first but was rather subverted later on in the series when {{spoiler|Louie actually fought back when Genie was about to use him as a punching bag again, Melissa and Meryl were worried about this but the scene was generally depicted as a good thing as this is when Genie got softer around Louie a little later on afterwards.}}
