'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). But one of the other reasons it's so popular around here is that the Devil loves his job, and does it very well, much to the surprise of those who know him.The Devil Is a Part-Timer! ( Japanese: はたらく魔王さま!, Hepburn: Hataraku Maō-sama!, lit. So, instead of two warrioresses fighting for their lives against some kaiju (giant monster) and one suddenly crying out 'Why wouldn't you let me borrow that dress?' -and I swear I've seen something very much like this-the Devil will celebrate the $1/hour raise he gets as taking him another step toward full-time employment which is just another stepping stone to conquer the world! The bombast coming from such events as making the rent, buying a refrigerator, or the betrayal when the demon's general discovers that he has been sneaking out to the occasional movie-which occurs when they are locked in an epic, existential battle, come to think of it-provides a lot of laughs. But where a more typical anime might have an existential struggle punctuated with melodrama on the level of who takes whom to the prom, TDIAPT imposes the epic drama of its back story on the banalities of everyday life. It's not really a 'fish out of water' scenario in the usual sense of humor coming from people misunderstanding the little things that are common knowledge in modern life our other-worldly characters seem to have a good grasp on the events and trends of the day.
