The Devil Is a Part-Timer!
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (Japanese: はたらく魔王さま!, Hepburn: Hataraku Maō-sama!; lit. 'Working Demon King!' or 'Demon Lord at Work!') is a Japanese light novel series written by Satoshi Wagahara, with illustrations by Oniku (written as 029). ASCII Media Works has published the series in Japan, while Yen Press has published it in North America.
The story follows Satan who, while attempting to conquer the world of Ente Isla, is confronted by the hero Emilia and forced to retreat through a gate that transports him to modern-day Tokyo, Japan. In order to survive and find a way to return to Ente Isla, Satan adopts the name Sadao Maou and starts working part-time at a fast food restaurant.
There have been two manga adaptations published by ASCII Media Works in Dengeki Daioh and Dengeki Maoh. A 13-episode anime adaptation produced by White Fox and directed by Naoto Hosoda aired from April to June 2013. A second season produced by 3Hz and directed by Daisuke Tsukushi aired from July to September 2022, with the second part of season 2 airing from July to September 2023.
The Demon Lord Satan attempts to conquer the world of Ente Isla by annexing its four continents with the help of his demon generals: Alciel, Lucifer, Malacoda, and Adramelech. After the hero Emilia and her companions kill Malacoda and Adramelech and confront him, he and Alciel flee through a gate to modern-day Tokyo, Japan. However, because of Earth's lack of magic, they lose their powers and transform into humans. In order to survive until he can find a way to return to Ente Isla, Satan takes on the identity of Sadao Maou and begins working part-time at the fast food restaurant MgRonald's (a parody of McDonald's), with Alciel serving as housekeeper. One day, he meets a girl named Emi Yusa, who is actually Emilia. The story then unfolds, exploring the personalities of the characters and their moral values, as more characters from Ente Isla appear and also face the dilemmas of living in a new world, often comically.
The Devil Is a Part-Timer! began as a light novel series written by Satoshi Wagahara, with illustrations by the artist 029 (Oniku). Wagahara originally entered the first novel in the series, originally titled Maōjō wa Rokujō-ikkan! (魔王城は六畳一間!, The Devil's Fortress is a Single Room with Six Tatami Mats!), into ASCII Media Works' 17th Dengeki Novel Prize in 2010 and the novel won the Silver Prize. The first novel was published by ASCII Media Works on February 10, 2011, under their Dengeki Bunko imprint, with an additional 20 main novels, two prequel novels, one spin-off novel, and six bonus novels being released since. The final main novel was initially scheduled to be published on July 10, 2020, but was delayed to August 7, 2020, as a result of the effects caused by COVID-19. Two bonus novels (Hataraku Maō-sama! 4.1 and Hataraku Maō-sama! Tengo) were packaged with the first and second Blu-ray volumes (respectively) of the anime adaptation's second season.
The series is licensed in North America by Yen Press, with the first main novel being released on April 21, 2015, and the last main novel on April 19, 2022.
