The Devil Is a Part-Timer!

Plot

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.

Characters

Main characters

;Sadao Maou Satan JacobSadao Maō : :The Demon Lord from Ente Isla. After fleeing from Emilia and her companions, he and Ashiya are transported to modern-day Japan and transform into human form. To survive, he adopts a Japanese name similar to his original name, Sadao Maou, and begins working part-time at a MgRonald's franchise, eventually being promoted to full-time position as an assistant shift manager. He and other demons can transform into their original forms when people around them are filled with despair. However, he uses his powers for good deeds such as repairing the city, which causes others to question his current personality. However, it is later revealed that he was always like this and was not the "Evil Overlord" that the people of Ente Isla had grown to fear and hate; in reality, he did "evil" things to help his people, the demons, and protect others. When he was younger, Emi's mother, Lailah, rescued him and taught him, giving him a fragment of Sephiroth that later becomes his and Emi's chosen daughter, Alas Ramus. He later fuses with Alas Ramus' "younger sister" Acieth Alla, another fragment of "Yesod", to rescue Emi and Ashiya after Olba and the Angels kidnap them. ;Emi Yusa Emilia Justina : :The hero who confronts Satan, forcing him to retreat from Ente Isla, and follows him to Earth to ensure that he is destroyed. Like him, she loses most of her magical powers upon arriving on Earth and is forced to assume a Japanese name, Emi Yusa, and find employment as a call center agent. Her father was human and her mother was an archangel. When she was a child, Lucifer, one of Maou's generals, led an army of demons to attack her village, resulting in the death of her father, leading her to resent Maou and want to kill him. However, it is later revealed that her father is alive. Emi is later fired from her job at the call center and gets a new job at MgRonald's, where she works with Maou and Chiho. Despite her protests, Maou later appoints her Demon General of the Demon Army. Over time, she develops feelings for Maou, although she struggles to reconcile her feelings because of their past history and the fact that Chiho is also in love with him. ;Chiho Sasaki : :A high school student who is Sadao's friend and co-worker at MgRonald's and develops feelings for him. She can hear and understand the language of Ente Isla because she was accidentally targeted by a communication spell intended for Emi, which was meant to target those who were constantly thinking about Sadao. She later learns how to use the spell Idea Link to warn others if she is in danger, and how to use magic to improve her archery skills. Maou later appoints her Demon General of the Demon Army, and she becomes well respected in the demon community. In order to obtain the Spear of Adramelechinus, which is needed to power the Demon's Castle and reach the Angels' stronghold on the moon, she becomes involved in the politics of Ente Isla. The light novel ends with her being together with Maou. ; Alciel : :One of Satan's generals, who is transported to modern-day Japan with him. On Earth, Alciel assumes the identity of Shirō Ashiya and works as Sadao's housekeeper, taking care of domestic duties while researching ways to regain their powers. He is loyal to him, and when he fails in his duties, he is disappointed in himself for not doing a better job. He is also frugal in his spending habits. He has alluded to reciprocating Rika's love, though is currently unwilling to pursue a relationship with her due to believing that she fell in love with his human guise and not his "true self". ;Hanzō Urushihara Lucifer : :A fallen angel and one of Satan's generals. After Satan is transported to the human world, Lucifer and Olba make a deal to defeat him, with Olba promising to return Lucifer to heaven. After Sadao defeats them, Lucifer moves into his and Shirō's apartment. Having committed a series of robberies with Olba before his defeat, he must remain in seclusion to avoid the police. He is good with technology and loves to play video games, and is often referred to as a hikikomori or NEET, much to his irritation. His mother is the current leader of the Angels, Ignora, and his father was the ancient demon lord Sataniel. ;Suzuno Kamazuki Crestia Bell : :Sadao's next-door neighbor, who is the grand inquisitor of the Church in Ente Isla and, like Emi, came to kill Sadao. She wields a giant mallet, which can be retracted into her flower-shaped hairpin. Unlike Emi, she has trouble adjusting to life on Earth and its technology. She briefly teams up with Sariel to eliminate Sadao and Emi after Sariel reminds her of her duties as grand inquisitor, but after seeing Sadao's concern for Chiho and realizing that she values her friendship with Emi and Chiho, she betrays Sariel and helps Chiho evacuate the area while Sadao and Sariel battle. Despite her protests, Maou later appoints her Demon General of the Demon Army, and over time she develops feelings for him, though she struggles to accept these feelings due to their past history. She is later promoted to Archbishop of the Church of Ente Isla.

Other characters

;Rika Suzuki : :Emi's friend and co-worker at the call center, who develops romantic feelings for Ashiya. She later learns the truth and becomes involved in the issues of Ente Isla. Although her confession with Ashiya is turned down, she has continued to not give up on him reciprocating her feelings. ;Mayumi Kisaki : :The manager of MgRonald's, who dreams of opening up her own restaurant, and in a conversation with Maou, discussed the possibility of taking him with her when she does open her own business. ;Emeralda Etuva : :Emilia's friend and comrade from Ente Isla.

He had worked with the corrupt Church of Ente Isla to kill those who opposed them, including members of the Allied Knight Order and those associated with them. He was Crestia's superior and often gave her orders that involved the brutal slaughter of the church's enemies. After Sadao defeats him in Sasakuza, he is placed under guard in a hospital, where he regains consciousness and escapes, attempting to reestablish his contract with Lucifer and aiding Sariel in his battle against Sadao by casting a spell to increase his power. However, it is revealed that Lucifer tricked him into creating a panic with the Moon spell, allowing Sadao to regain his magic and defeat Sariel, after which Lucifer captures him. ;Mitsuki Sarue Sariel : :An Archangel hired by the Church of Ente Isla along with Crestia Bell as part of their Execution Inquisition. He first attacks Emilia in a grocery store while in disguise. To learn about Sadao and Emi in the human world, he assumes the identity of Mitsuki Sarue, claiming to be the manager of the newly opened Sentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Hatagaya. He later teams up with Crestia to kill Sadao and Emi. He wields a scythe and possesses a magic called the "Wicked Light of the Fallen", which nullifies sacred powers; he also draws his magic from the Moon, with his power increasing the closer he is to it. During his battle with Emilia, he demands that she return the holy sword "Better Half" to Heaven. He defeats and tortures Emilia while taking Chiho hostage, but ultimately Sadao defeats him.
