The way that they always describe it is that its 5 times slower on Earth then on Shin Makoku.

I think that Yuuri's aging is pretty much up for grabs. There isn't really a definite answer to that. I like to think that his aging will slowly stop moving so fast. After all, I doubt that Shinou would put that much effort into making a Maou that would only live for a short time. But once again, many people take artistic liberties with Yuuri's aging hahaa

I'm happy to see a new fan! If you have any questions or want to talk about KKM (or anything really) just ask me and I'd be glad to help!

:-) Thanks for your reply. It seems to me time on Earth passes much more than 5 times slower than in Shin Makoku (my comment above). Let's say 1 hour on Earth is equivalent to 5 days in Shin Makoku, 1 day on Earth = 4 months in Shin Makoku. Then after Yuuri came back to Earth from his first trip to Shin Makoku, he spent enough time to get back to baseball, to establish a grass-root baseball team and have Murata join as manager, it must be at least weeks. How much time would have passed in Shin Makoku? Must be months, if not years. And that's why I thought, oh poor Wolfram :-D ( ... )

I think that one Earth hour would be equivalent to 5 Shin Makoku hours rather then 5 days. And 1 day on Earth would be 5 in Shin Makoku

How far are you in the anime? Or have you finished it? Hahaa I don't want to go into too much detail about Shinou if you aren't that far ahead because of spoilers.

Hehe, I've seen/read everything that is available in English, and I don't mind spoilers, seeing that it'll be years, if ever, before all the other novels are translated. Too bad I cant read japanese or chinese or german. What about you?

Hahaha well I was just going to say that according the anime, Shinou was possessed by Shoushu when he made Yuuri, and when he made Yuuri, his only concern was making a perfect body for himself. But that's just what I got out of it hahahaa I guess everyone interprets things differently!~

I know a little Japanese and I am taking a Chinese class right now. I'm, unfortunately, getting no where with the han zi (Chinese characters) but I am pretty good with pinyin and speaking Chinese haha

I've never tried German before...But my mom knows quite a bit of it

So have you read the novels? I know they are available online in Chinese (motivation for you to work harder on han zi? ;-)

I'm so so curious to know more about Wolfram (ok, Yuuri and the others too :-D) that I'm seriously thinking about cracking my head on the German version. If nothing else, it's easier to move from English to German, than to Chinese or Japanese. Their script systems would take me 10 more years before I can go anywhere with the novels :-D

I do have another question about KKM, but I don't want to flood the comm, so I'll hold back for a while. Or maybe I'll post it on the Wolframfans comm (since it's related to him) if they ever accept me into the community :-D

I've read bits and pieces of the novels, I'm not yet skilled enough to completely understand them hahaha

There are some parts of the novels that are translated into English. Especially on the wolfram comm.

If you want, You can ask me your question and I can try to answer the best I can..?
