'''''Shina Dark: Kuroki Tsuki no Ō to Sōheki no Himegimi''''' (シャイナ・ダルク 〜黒き月の王と蒼碧の月の姫君〜, Shaina Daruku, literally "Shina Dark ~King of Dark Moon and Blue Moon's Princess~") is a manga written by Bunjūrō Nakayama and drawn by Yukari Higa. It ran from 2006 to 2009.
 
Welcome to the cursed island of Shina Dark. This island is called home by the dark lord Exoda C. Claw aka [[Satan]]. He's as powerful a being as you could ever hope to meet. Feared and hated the world over for the infinite amount of atrocities he's committed. He's.....actually a really nice guy who just wants to chill out around the castle and relax... After a month long nap he awakens to find that the rest of the world has made up another ridiculous rumor and blown it way out of proportion and that has caused his little island to be crowded with a thousand beautiful women meant to be his mistresses/sacrifices. Worse yet is that since they have set foot on his island they are all believed to be cursed and are now shunned by their homelands. What's a couch potato Satan to do with 1000 women who won't / can't leave? Who can say?
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
As the story progresses, Exoda attempts to do a little nation building in an attempt to get the women on the island interested a little more in their own lives and less depressed. Among the women sent to his island there is a princess from each of the two major empires surrounding his island. Not wanting anything to do with ruling a kingdom himself, he sets up the two princesses as the head of the new country. He then works, primarily, in the background to support the fledgling country through some of the problems it faces both from without and from within.
 
Currently, theThe English translators have used "Satan" in place of "Maou" or "Demon Lord". While the translations tend to make more sense this way, from a westernWestern perspective, the use of "Satan" is more of a title than a nickname.

* [[Above the Influence]]: One thousand young women are dropped on Exoda's door step with every expectation of being [[Squick|used, abused and exploited]] as his slaves. Exoda's first response is to send them all home. When it becomes clear that's not an option, he accepts responsibility for their suffering and founds a representative government to secure their rights and freedoms.
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
** He probably wouldn't want something like that anyway.
* [[Ecchi]]: Lots of bath house shots of two main busty female protagonists.
** And the [[Meido|maid]]. And even the [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]].
* [[The Empire]]: The Vansable Empire is conquering the world with extremely advanced technology.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Satan actually has a LOT of standards, but he is downright pissed when he finds out he's expected to sleep with Maple, who is under 10 years old. He seems displeased about whats in the book about him as well, given that from the sounds of it, most of it may very well just be pure fiction.
Line 84 ⟶ 86:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Satan's basement is basically a very large shoutout to the [[Disgaea]] series.
** Probably unintentional, but...

"[[Dragonball Z|What!? 10,000!?]]" }}
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: Exoda tries to ensure that Galett and Christina, and by extension the rest of Shina Dark, can rule themselves without him. Of course, he's also pretty lazy.
