Do you want fries with your hellfire? Being soundly thrashed by the hero Emilia, the Devil King and his general beat a hasty retreat to a parallel universe...only to land smack in the middle of bustling, modern-day Tokyo! Lacking the magic necessary to return home, the two are forced to assume human identities and live average human lives until they can find a better solution. And to make ends meet, Satan finds gainful employment at a nearby fast food joint! With his devilish mind set on working his way up the management food chain, what will become of his thirst for conquest?! From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up-Several supernatural beings with otherworldly powers who represent the forces of good and evil find themselves in modern-day Tokyo, where suddenly their powers no longer work. The story mixes action with comedy, as the Devil King navigates our ordinary world, even taking a part-time job at a fast food restaurant called MgRonald to make ends meet. But the longer he works there, the more his focus shifts from conquering the world to making his way up the management chain at his restaurant. And then the Devil Kings archenemy Emilia Justina the Hero shows up to try to finish what she started. This light novel with manga-style illustrations is very densely written, and is packed with so much exposition that in many ways it does not feel like the beginning of a series at all. This work has been adapted into an anime, which aired in 2014, so it would be most appreciated and understood by readers who saw it and are looking for more information about the story and the characters.
