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 the fast food restaurant MgRonald's, a parody of McDonald's.
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.[b]
