Review: Never Though Working at McDonald's Could Lead to World Domination - A great story and opening into the series. As a long time fan of the anime I was extremely disappointed when the anime ended with only 12 ep and I was left hanging. However, after seeing the light novel finally getting license I instantly got the copy and started reading. Hataraku no Maou or The Devil is a Part-Timer is a rare story capable of blending in hilarious comedy and intense action with little shortcoming. Although many anime and light novels in the past have attempted the trope of Hero vs Maou, majority of them are cliche and are executed poorly with one dimensional characters usual with the hero gathering comrade as he powers up to slay the "evil" demon lord. This story takes it a step further and portrays the relationship of the hero and the demon lord after he is defeated and escape to the modern world we know of. The tale of the demon lord as he struggles to make a living in a one store apartment while trying to get a promotion at a fast food chain is probably the most brilliant plot line I could ever imagine. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a unique story that mixes action, supernatural, comedy, with a slight touch of romance. The unconventional setting and reaction of the demon lord as he interacts with the hero makes for a great laugh. If your unfamiliar with the format of a light novel each Volume is fairly short with around 200-300 pages and usually 4-5 illustrations. So the series overall isn't a heavy read even for a person like myself who rarely reads books. Review: I first watched the anime series and enjoyed it so much that I bought the first light ... - First of all this review is for the light novel, which has a blue cover, not the manga, which has a red cover. There are very few pictures in this book and is more of your typical novel. I first watched the anime series and enjoyed it so much that I bought the first light novel. This book is very similar to the anime and follows along the same story line although it only covers about the first 6 or 7 episodes. This is a very enjoyable book and goes into what the characters are thinking and also their motivations are explained a bit more in depth. It is very simple to read and understand and is more of a fun book with a few deep parts mixed in. The plot may seem outrageous since it is in the title, but do not let that deter you. This is an enjoyable book. Also if you have read any other English translations out there for this series, they are not anywhere near as good as this translation. Nothing against the other people who have translated this previously, I know they work very hard and do these translations with little to no compensation, but the officially licensed translations I have come across are usually better in most instances. You may save money by reading the free translations, but as someone who has tried that I can say that this is better. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #347,571 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #830 in Teen & Young Adult Light Novels #3,004 in Contemporary Fantasy (Books) #83,169 in Genre Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 563 Reviews | ## Images ![The Devil Is a Part-Timer, Vol. 1 - light novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O5-23fsqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never Though Working at McDonald's Could Lead to World Domination *by Q***G on July 24, 2016* A great story and opening into the series.

If it has a red cover, it is the manga. Another way to tell the two apart (since it can be a royal pain in the butt on Amazon) is to look at the cover, and check if it says "Illustrated By". All light novels list the artist under "Illustrated by", as the books only contain limited spot illustrations. Now that all that is out of the way, lets get to the actual book. I really enjoyed the anime, and I thought I would give the original light novel a chance. If you have seen the anime, then you are already well versed in what happens in this book. The only real difference is added insight into the minds of several of the characters, plus a few extended moments with Emi's friend, Rika. Even though I was already pretty familiar with the plot, I seriously enjoyed this book. The writing is fast and fun, the plot moves, and the interesting and colorful characters keep you engaged. It is also interesting to see where both the anime and manga series started, and how closely they hold to the original text. While it may take a book or two to get past what the anime covered, I am for sure going to keep reading, as I found this book to be immensely enjoyable. I also enjoyed the little character "resume" forms, and the attractive color art presented in the beginning of the book. If you are a fan of The Devil is a Part-Timer in its anime form, then I highly recommend checking out the original source material. Very well written, and highly entertaining. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14416082-the-devil-is-a-part-timer-vol-1-light-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14416082-the-devil-is-a-part-timer-vol-1-light-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
