The Devil Is a Part-Timer, Vol. 1 (manga)
by Satoshi Wagahara, Akio Hiiragi
The Devil King has ended up in the human world (aka Japan) and has lost most of his powers and must get a part-time job to support himself and one of his demon generals that has accompanied him into this strange place. Where of all places does he find a job? The local McDonald's of course! Oh, sorry they refer to it as MgRonald's throughout the book. Every time I see that word the image a giant burly man with a heavy accent pops into my head. He's trying to say it properly, but despite his attempts that little 'c' inevitably becomes a 'g', so MgRonald's it is!
A bit entertaining at first to see the Devil King and his loyal general trying to figure out the human world. Who would of thought that Satan himself is the spitting image of excellent customer service?! Remind me to borrow a few examples for our next CS training. And what a sweetie he is to his coworker Chi-chan! Always helping her learn how to handle the various machines at work and even lending an ear when she starts to hear mysterious voices in her head. Fingers crossed that this becomes a successful romantic pairing.
Then enters the Hero, Emilia, the daughter of a human and angel, who is set on killing the Devil King and the last of his generals. My first impression of her had me glaring angrily at the pages and hoping she would get sucked into some mysterious black hole. She was, at first, highly unlikeable! Then enters her coworker Rika...guess friendship makes a girl a little softer around the edges. Hopefully, this compassion from Rika will make the Hero more likable in the next volume.
The one thing I am dreading most is the possibility of a Hero x Devil King romantic pairing. This would make me throw the book across the room. Hopefully that does not happen in later volumes because then I would most likely have to pay my local library for a replacement copy. If the Hero can think of anything other than her revenge on the Devil King and would like to delve into a bit of romance I think a pairing between her and Rika would be fitting. Rika is as much of a sweetheart to Emilia, as the Devil King is to Chi-chan, in his own way.
