Plot Overview
In this comically twisted tale, two warring nations find themselves at odds, with the princess of the Human World’s kingdom falling into the clutches of the villainous Hellhorde. However, there’s a catch: outright torture is forbidden, even for prisoners of war. Enter Torture Tortura, a culinary genius who devises a unique method to extract information from the captive princess. Using mouthwatering delicacies, she lures intel (often useless) out of the “tormented” girl. By the princess’s side is her loyal sword Ex/Excalibur, playing the role of the straight man amidst his master’s bizarre antics.
