Assalamualaikum and salam 1eMalaysia.

So I have been thinking that I named this newspaper as "The Otaku Republic" but have not shared anything about anime or Japanese culture/sub culture. So today I guess I will be starting one right now.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! Anime Gets 2nd Season

The first day of the "Kadokawa Light Novel Expo" event on Saturday bring good news to fans of Satoshi Wagahara's The Devil is a Part-Timer! light novel series announced that after almost 7 years the first season ended, the series will have a second anime season with all the original main cast is returning to their respective roles.



The returning cast members include:

Yen Press publishes both the original light novels and Akio Hiiragi's manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

"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?!"



Wagahara launched the light novels with illustrations by 029 in 2011. Hiiragi's manga adaptation launched in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine in December 2011. Kurone Mishima drew another manga spinoff called Hataraku Maou-sama! High School! in Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine from 2012 to 2015. Yen Press also published all five volumes of the manga.
