Kyou Kara Maou (Kyo Kara Maoh) is a series about a normal high school boy being flushed down a toilet into another world, where he becomes the demon king. The series has been completely fansubbed, but I find that in the original novels Yuuri is much funnier and has a tendency to go off on random rants.
When I first started translating this series my teacher was shocked that I was trying to read an actual novel and not a manga. I had to repeat to her many times that it was a novel, and eventually had to show her the book itself. When she helped me with it, the main idea was that I needed to be able to get the basic concepts down.
That was years ago. I only did about two pages a week and we made sure the right idea was coming across. Now that I'm higher up in Japanese, the teacher I'm working with now expects me to do about five pages a week and they have to be much higher quality.
Because of that, you might notice that they simply look like "student translations". Quite frankly, that's because they are student translations. However, it's been a long time since I first started and what I do now has to be higher quality than what I did then. I have a different teacher and she's very demanding; she also points out things that sound a little bit different than how they're supposed to. So you can expect chapter 5 to sound a lot better than chapter 1 (although sometimes it's still hard to make everything sound normal in English and stick to the original meaning).

The titles of the Ma no Tsuku series have confused some. Generally, the way the title reads, "Ma no Tsuku", in Japanese sounds like a catch phrase.
Also, notice the moras. The titles also resemble a 5-7 Haiku, which are usually "5-7-5".
For example:
Kyo | u | ka | ra | Ma
no | tsu | ku | ji | yu | u | gyo | u
The "Ma no Tsuku" simply means that the 'Ma' is included, or someone with the symbol of 'Ma'.
So, to put it plainly, the titles of the book sound cute and catchy in Japanese, but as with puns, it doesn't translate very well into English.
If you want to have a better idea, I've seen the title very literally translated like this, "From today, I am employed the freelance profession which the character "MA" attaches".
