Max-kun's Otherworld Adventures — Ep.3: The Freeze Demon Lord

One day an enemy who can stop time appears: the Freeze Demon Lord. With a wave of his hand the whole world locks up — and Max freezes solid, completely helpless. The Demon Lord cackles in triumph.

But then… nothing happens. A freeze, it turns out, stops friend and foe alike — the Demon Lord can't move either. The two of them just stand there, frozen side by side, until a passing resident casually reboots the power. Everyone pops back to life.

"Next time," the Demon Lord mutters, a little embarrassed, "I'll go easy." That dreaded freeze right before the final boss? Looking back… it's almost funny.

Max-kun's Otherworld Adventures — a heartwarming four-panel series about a boy who wandered into a retro-game dimension that begins at the doorstep of Enjoy Game Japan.
