Sinopsis de Hataraku Maou-sama!
The Demon Lord Satan seeks to conquer the world of Ente Isla by annexing its four continents with the help of his generals Alciel, Lucifer, Malacoda, and Adramelech. After being confronted by the heroine Emilia and her companions, and seeing their generals Malacoda and Adramelech dead, Satan and Alciel escape the world through a portal into the city of Tokyo, Japan. However, due to the absence of magic in the new world, both Satan and Alciel change their forms to humans. To survive, Satan takes a part-time job at the “MgRonald” fast food restaurant, while Alciel takes care of the housework. One day, Satan (who now goes by the name Sadao Maou) meets Emi Yusa, who turns out to be the heroine Emilia.
