What is The Devil is a Part-Timer! about?

The Devil is a Part-Timer! is a TV anime series of 13 episodes animated by WHITE FOX, adapted from a light novel. It aired from April 4, 2013 to June 27, 2013. AniList classifies it as comedy, fantasy, romance and slice of life.

Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses—and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation—he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses!
