 The Light Novel Expo event announced a second anime season for Satoshi Wagahara's Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil Is a Part-Timer!) light novel on Saturday. The voice cast from the first season will reprise their roles.Synopsis In the world of Ente Isla, the Demon Lord Satan has attempted to conquer humanity using an enormous army of demons. But when he almost succeeds, mankind's champion, Hero Emilia, thwarts his plans, forcing him to retreat into a portal that leads to a world unbeknownst to him—Earth. Along with his faithful servant Alsiel, Satan stumbles upon the modern-day city of Tokyo without any knowledge of the world itself. Completely out of their depth, they gain some information from a police officer, but Satan still has one more problem—money. In order to survive with his greatly diminished powers, he guises himself as a human named Sadao Maou, lives in an apartment, and becomes a part-timer at the fast food restaurant MgRonald's. Determined not only to conquer Ente Isla but also Earth, Sadao strives to become a full-time employee in his job, as he believes that it would be a step forward in his conquests. Things begin looking up for the once all-powerful demon as he ventures through his everyday life—his job, his home, and his relationships. However, a major setback pops up when Emilia, the hero who drove him out of Ente Isla, suddenly appears... [Written by MAL Rewrite] Wagahara originally submitted the comedy fantasy novel under the title Maoujou wa Rokujou Hitoma! (The Devil's Castle within a Six-tatami Room!) at the 17th Dengeki Taisho awards in November 2010 and won the Silver Prize along with Antiliteral no Arcanist. Dengeki Bunko began publishing the novel featuring illustrations by 029 (Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de) the following February and shipped the 21st and final volume on August 7 last year. Hataraku Maou-sama! has a cumulative 3 million copies of its volumes in circulation. Akio Hiragi began drawing a manga adaptation in Dengeki Daioh in December 2011, which has 16 volumes in print as of on March 10. Kurone Mishima (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!) serialized the Hataraku Maou-sama! High School! spin-off in Dengeki Maoh from May 2012 to February 2015. White Fox produced the 13-episode first television anime in Spring 2013, covering the first two volumes. Funimation simulcast the show with subtitles and released it on Blu-ray in July 2014. Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English in August 2014 and released the 16th manga volume and 18th light novel volume on December 15 last year. The company also published the high school spin-off manga between August 2015 and October 2016. Wagahara and 029 published a spin-off volume titled Hataraku Maou-sama no Meshi! in February 2019. Uoji Sada launched a manga adaptation based on the volume on Kadokawa's ComicWalker website in August that year. The third volume will go on sale on March 27.

| So many older series getting revived. Nice to see this one get a sequel too. |
| Holy fuck, never knew they would make a sequel of this after all that time. |
 |
| ARE MY EYES DECEIVING ME |
 |
| Everthing is possible! I almost lost my hope for a sequel. |
 |
| Oh my, this is the very first most surprising thing I've seen in MAL in this 2021 , and a nice surprise that is , I cant wait for this ^.^ |

| I'm so glad! I totally gave up hope but there truly is meaning to life, the anime industry has taught me that again. I might've read most, if not all, of the bits that'll be covered in S2 but I couldn't care less about that at the moment. I can't wait now! 8 yrs, good lord. Dreams do come true, na minna? |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Now the only one left is No Game No Life... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| After all this time but I'm glad we are finally getting it. |
 |
| I love that anything is possible in modern anime, anything can get a sequel..... Except No Game No Life. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Maou-sama has finally risen from the grave. Many people still worship the God of McDonalds i guess. We have waited for so long. |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| For 8 years we've been cucked on the sidelines... BUT THE REALITY of Season 2 IS HERE. God was this a classic then, and is definitely the long-awaited classic now. |
 |
| O_O Oooo, sooo one of the anime i have seen a lot of people wanting a sequel for has finally gotten one!!! I would like to see the naysayers who claimed that it would never get a sequel now!!!! People, if all the remakes/reboots, sequels and adaptations coming out for old/finished anime/manga hasn't taught you that there's no such thing as a anime/manga that doesn't ever have a chance of getting an adaptation, sequel, remake/reboot etc. than i don't know what would!!! That's why i say to never give up hope!!! :) |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |
| After 8 years, could anyone have seen this coming? |
| I didn’t expect this to get announced at all. They decided to make a second season after all these years... I guess they want to boost the novel’s sales since it ended like a year ago. I’m happy for getting a second season nevertheless. |
 |
| The most unexpected one of all the LN expo announcements today. I can hope for more tomorrow then. And No game no life won in its category so....... |
| LET'S GOOOOOOO!!! I'm excited to see this! It's been years... :'D Now, if only NGNL is next.... Although low-key hopes it won't fully adapt the whole LN LMAO XD |
| A certain person lurking here |
| This has to be the most unexpected sequel announcement I've seen in a long time. It's also nice that all of the original VAs are going to back for this series. I'm quite excited to eventually watch it. |
| HOLYSHIT!!!!!!!! |
 |
| This fuels my hopes for other anime getting more seasons. And yeah, seems like a good time to start Hataraku Maou-sama! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I certainly did not expect that, really enjoyed the first season 20 years ago, this should be fine |
    |
| Great news!!! The art looks weird tho... |
Please dont give me hope. |
| Yoo, let's fucking go, finally. |
 cunnysseur |
| Holy shit, how many years have we been waiting for this now. I never thought it would happen! |
| god damn my heart is shaking i cant believe it |
 |

DarkDooM2 said: Holy shit, how many years have we been waiting for this now. I never thought it would happen! Yeah, this is the last thing I expected. But better late than never. It looks like White Fox likes sequels with a big gap. |
 |
| blehhhhh🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 |
 |
| People be saying that after this all we need is season 2 of No Game No Life, but what we really need is WATAMOTE SEASON 2. THIS WOULD SAVE MAKE 2021 100000 TIMES BETTER. |
| After so many years of waiting for a second season, you'd think I'd be overjoyed about this. And I was. The happiness lasted for about 2 minutes when I remembered the bitch got what she wanted in the end, which means I unfortunately won't be watching this. Oh well. |
 |
| So many shows that only got one season that I had long given up hope on... suddenly there's hope after seeing this |
| Really!!? Wow! It's unexpected. Such a very loooooooooong time since the first season. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I'm honestly surprised. It's been a long time since this series aired and I thought I lost hope for a sequel of this series, but here it is. I'm hyped for this, like, I never saw this news coming at all! |
| I never thought i would see this day. Lol I'm hyped for this!! |
| Anything can happen if people believe hard enough and never lose hope. Honestly, this announcement completely caught me by surprise. I think this calls for me to re-watch season, as a reminder as to why I came to love this series in the first place. =) How, if only No Game No Life got it's second season, then my life would be complete. |
