Synopsis

Striking fear into the hearts of mortals, the Demon Lord Satan begins to conquer the land of Ente Isla with his vast demon armies. However, while embarking on this brutal quest to take over the continent, his efforts are foiled by the hero Emilia, forcing Satan to make his swift retreat through a dimensional portal only to land in the human world. Along with his loyal general Alsiel, the demon finds himself stranded in modern-day Tokyo and vows to return and complete his subjugation of Ente Isla—that is, if they can find a way back!

Powerless in a world without magic, Satan assumes the guise of a human named Sadao Maou and begins working at MgRonald's—a local fast-food restaurant—to make ends meet. He soon realizes that his goal of conquering Ente Isla is just not enough as he grows determined to climb the corporate ladder and become the ruler of Earth, one satisfied customer at a time!

Whether it's part-time work, household chores, or simply trying to pay the rent on time, Hataraku Maou-sama! presents a hilarious view of the most mundane aspects of everyday life, all through the eyes of a hapless demon lord.

Devil is a part timer is not that bad... but there are some caveats.
My biggest caveat is there is too much going on with the demon side-story, I feel like it does not have to be a thing.

And the second one is just a personal preference, but there was a lot of fighting but to be fair they had to justify the Devil part in the title otherwise it would be an everyday guy... I would prefer an everyday guy actually haha after seeing Wotakoi.

The story is about a devil who got transported into Earth. A reverse Isekai if you will.
The story is enticing, ...

Mixed Feelings
This is probably very individual to me, but I just wasn't a huge fan. It was funny for sure, and a lot of the characters are very charismatic, such as Alciel and Lucifer, and they along with Satan have some of the most enjoyable slice of life scenes I've seen.

However, the slice of life aspect being on the backburner is what hurt the show most. When I saw this was a reverse isekai I was excited to see how the devil and his followers would adapt to modern Japanese living. Instead they are completely settled by the second episodes and the show becomes more about ...

this show can be best described as a series of tryhard comedic reliefs played back to back with plot threads spurn in between. 'try hard' because they're repetitive to the point where you're obliged to feel lightened by them. there are so many plot points that just don't add up, & the characters constantly disregard the very motive they exist to achieve the *entire* time!

another thing about the story is it turns in different ways 'just because' (like- the fights end before they can actually begin, and buildups lead up to nothing... and that's another thing- we learn nothing about anything since the first episodes ...
