Anissina is an inventor and is also Gwendal's childhood friend. She often uses him to test out her inventions and it is for this reason that Gwendal seems to fear Anissina. When Gwendal is not around, Günter becomes her test subject. She is also the one who taught Gwendal how to knit and later Greta too.  If the men are away from the castle, it is usually Anissina who takes control. When she does so, her inventions are usually seen everywhere. The names of her inventions often end in 'kun', and usually state what they are supposed to do. Her inventions often requires the use of maryoku and they actually do more harm than good. An example of this is an invention where the user can communicate with animals, instead of keeping them under control Nicola's child summoned the dragon Pochi who wreaked part of the castle. These inventions keep Greta entertained and she even thinks that Anissina is so cool.  Aside from her inventions, she spends her time writing adventure story books involving herself as a super-heroine figure. These also usually keep Greta entertained, though Yuri and Wolfram often doubt whether they are even appropriate for children.  She belongs to one of the 10 noble families of the kingdom and her brother rules their country.  She bears striking resemblance to real life French-Russian figure skater Marina Anissina.

Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes. The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world. Much to his subjects' dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this lands' customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak.

Yuri Shibuya just can't catch a break. First, he had his head dunked in a toilet. Then he was transported to another world - where he finds himself king of the Mazoku's, a new race that expects him to lead them to war against all of humanity. And to top it all off, he's engaged - to a man!

Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyuugyou is the novel the anime and manga are based on. It's about a boy named Yuuri, who gets himself flushed down a toilet into another world. There, he finds out he's the Maoh (demon king) and that the Mazoku (demons) expect him to lead them against the human race. 
The novel is told from Yuuri's PoV, with plenty of side-commentary that is left out of the show.
