Summary
Hataraku Maou-sama!, also known as Demon Lord at Work! or The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, is a Japanese light novel that combines action, comedy, drama, fantasy, romance, shounen, and supernatural elements. The story follows the Devil King and his general who, after being defeated by a hero, find themselves stranded in modern-day Tokyo with no way back to their world. To survive, they assume human identities and work ordinary jobs, with Satan even taking a job at a fast-food restaurant. The novel explores themes of redemption, ambition, and the challenges of adapting to a new life, all while maintaining a devilish sense of humor and ambition for conquest. Adapted into anime and manga, this series also delves into topics like human-nonhuman relationships, conspiracies, and the clash between magical and modern technologies.

Description

After being soundly thrashed by the hero Emilia, the Devil King and his general beat a hasty retreat to a parallel universe…only to land plop in the middle of bustling, modern-day Tokyo! Lacking the magic necessary to return home, the two are forced to assume human identities and live average human lives until they can find a better solution. And to make ends meet, Satan finds gainful employment at a nearby fast food joint! With his devilish mind set on working his way up the management food chain, what will become of his thirst for conquest?!
