The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (はたらく魔王さま! Hataraku Maō-sama!, literally Working Demon King! or Demon Lord at Work!) is a 2013 fantasy, comedy Japanese anime series based on the light novels written by Satoshi Wagahara.[1] In another dimension, the Dark Lord Satan and his forces of evil are defeated by the Hero Emilia Justina. Satan and his Demon general Alciel are forced to flee through a portal which drops them off in modern-day Japan. With their magic slowly depleting in an unfamiliar world, they are forced to assume the lives of normal human beings in order to survive. The Hero Emilia Justina follows them through the portal and she too is met with the same circumstances. Although Emilia still harbors negative feelings towards Satan for his past acts of evil, they become unlikely allies in order to survive.[2]
