It’s almost time for The Devil Is a Part-Timer! manga to clock out, as comic magazine Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh reports that the series will reach its climax as of their October issue, which will be released on September 26th.
While there’s no timeline as to when the manga will reach its eventual end, the light novel series the manga is based on ended early this August with its 21st volume, which would certainly lend more material for adaptation as the series wraps up.
As the light novel and manga series has been ongoing since 2011, and the anime adaptation only lasted for a season in 2013, readers may need a refresher as to the plot of the series. The synopsis (courtesy of the series’ English publisher Yen Press), is as follows:
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?!
For those needing a little more from The Devil Is a Part-Timer! universe, the series has two spinoffs. One is a high-school themed spinoff manga titled Hataraku Maou-sama! High School!. The other is a cooking-based spinoff manga similar to the Rising of the Shield Hero cooking manga published last year. Both manga titles are produced by ComicWalker, though The Devil Is A Part-Timer! cooking manga also has its own light novel series off which the manga is based.
