History Manga / TisTimeForTorturePrincess

An anime adaptation was announced in June 2023 and began airing in January 2024.

* AdaptationExpansion: The anime heavily expands on the content of each chapter to fill out episode runtime, such as including volume extras, lengthening Ex and the Princess's explanations for her "resistance" to showcase her past badassery, expanding on the panels of the Princess experiencing {{Imagine Spot}}s about how the "tortures" make her feel relaxed and happy, and even a direct appearance by the Hell-Lord himself in Episode 2 earlier than his official introduction.

** Tortura gets these when contemplating how to prevent the Princess from earning her freedom by winning a beach sword fight. Only instead of having an angel and devil, she has a devil and a ''politician'', with the devil representing emotion and the politician representing logic. Both of them tell Tortura to cheat, with the politician saying to do it using loopholes.

** Many chapters make a big point of describing the Princess's past exploits or her stern training and upbringing. However, it's often exactly ''because'' of that strict upbringing that she's tempted by the "tortures" inflicted on her, as they frequently involve offering her things she never got to try because of it, such as video games, various foods, or even just playing on the playground with Mao-Mao.

** When the Hell-Lord gets a secret about hidden locations in the human kingdom, he tries to get Dark Ninja Nin-nin Gekkou to provide his services. However, when he hears that Gekkou wishes to quit the Hellhorde to pursue his dreams of being a picture-book author, with him having doubts that quitting and doing so at his age would work out, the Hell-Lord encourages him to try anyway and lets him go. [[spoiler:It does ultimately work out, with Gekkou winning a new writer's prize for his picture book.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In Chapter 144, the Princess is getting dissatisfied with Sakura's knife-juggling "tortures" because they've become familiar enough even she can do them, so Sakura tries to think of a new "torture" that would be new to the Princess, [[spoiler:only to run up against the fact that the Princess is better at the blade than her, so whatever she could do, the Princess could do too, which leads her to hit on the idea of performing with the Princess. As Tortura points out, though, if Sakura's performing with the Princess... who's sharing the secret?]]

* PublicExecution: One of the Princess' "tortures" is Torture Tortura eating [[BlandNameProducts Gorilla's March cookies]] in front of her ''without'' taking the time to appreciate the little gorilla drawings on the cookies. [[MrImagination The Princess]] imagines this injustice as enlarged cookies tied to posts with black bags over their "heads" to obscure the image while Torture executes them one by one with an axe.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Due to how most of the story is an episodic StrictlyFormula sort, it leaves things open for the anime to pick and choose chapters based on how well they fit or altering content to tie them together, such as moving Chapter 11 to cap off Episode 1 (which otherwise adapted Chapters 1 & 2 in order) or omitting Chapters 4 and 7 from Episode 2 (moving them to Episode 3) while including a post-bath-with Giant scene where Torture sees Gorilla's March cookies in a vending machine to lead into the next "torture".

** The "secret" revealed in Chapter 74 is that the Princess pre-ordered a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 PlainStation 5]] (using her phone while in her prison cell).

* AnachronismStew: The story overall is implied to be set in a typical medieval fantasy world, with the Princess' home playing most of those tropes straight, but the Hordes of Hell might as well live in modern Japan with all its modern conveniences.

* HeelRaceTurn: It's heavily implied by way of comments from demons and flashbacks to the past that the Hell-Horde used to engage in genuinely villainous actions, including a flashback extra where Enki implies that Harm-Marshalls used to perform ''genuine'' torture, but at some point they collectively realized that conflict against the human kingdom wasn't helping them in any way, and thus changed to embrace their current DarkIsNotEvil image, with them only maintaining their old CardCarryingVillainy reputation because humanity likely wouldn't believe they turned a leaf without being given concrete proof.

** Ch. 14 of the manga has a flashback where the Demon Lord faced against the "Hero" of the human kingdom, with him being pretty much a LawyerFriendlyCameo of the Hero from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII''. The anime adaptation adds to the reference by using a near-identical color palette to the original.
