To understand the show you must know what a mamodo is.
A mamodo (or demon in japan) are kids with magic powers
who require a human to read their book.One hundred mamodo go to the human world, every 1,000 years to determine the mamodo king. A mamodo starts with the first spell and gain spells, if the human and the mamodo win battles, put more emotion into the book, or simply wait for a new spell. If a spell book is burned, they return to the mamodo world loosing their chances to become king.(Note: You cannot burn your own book.) The mamodo last standing without there book being burned is the mamodo king.
