A really vibrant light novel, namely “The Devil Is a Part-Timer!” was penned by Satoshi Wagahara, a Japanese author, in February 2011. The illustrations were done by Oniku. A manga adaptation started in February of the succeeding year, which is still ongoing a decade later. An anime was also greenlit by Studio Whitefox. It aired on April 4th, 2013.
The anime released an episode every week till its finale on 27th June, 2013. This marked a total of 13 episodes. The anime was well received due to its waggish, and merry tone. After the anime aired, it still was cherished by an ever-growing fan base, but to everyone’s surprise a new season hadn’t been announced even years after the anime debuted.

10 years later when not even a single soul would’ve admitted that a season 2 was possible for Devil is a Part-timer, the Production Company Infinite announced that Season 2 is in production. That was perhaps the most shocking news I’ve ever had heard, who would’ve guess 10 years down the line an anime could get a season 2, especially an “Isekai-ish” one at that.
So here’s the deal, Satan has his armies all geared up, and an all out war against all those who stand in his way is raging on. Why does Satan do this? Well because he wants to rule all of Ente Isla. But like every other devil story, Lord Satan’s plans are thwarted by our valiant hero, Emilia.
