## Plot

The Demon Lord Satan attempts to conquer the world of Ente Isla by annexing its four continents with the help of his demon generals: Alciel, Lucifer, Malacoda, and Adramelech. After the hero Emilia and her companions kill Malacoda and Adramelech and confront him, he and Alciel flee through a gate to modern-day Tokyo, Japan. However, because of Earth's lack of magic, they lose their powers and transform into humans. In order to survive until he can find a way to return to Ente Isla, Satan takes on the identity of Sadao Maou and begins working part-time at the fast food restaurant MgRonald's, with Alciel serving as housekeeper. One day, he meets a girl named Emi Yusa, who is actually Emilia. The story then unfolds, exploring the personalities of the characters and their moral values, as more characters from Ente Isla appear and also face the dilemmas of living in a new world, often comically.

## Characters
### Main characters

    Voiced by: Shinobu Matsumoto (drama CD), Ryōta Ōsaka, Makoto Koichi (young) (anime) (Japanese); Jessie James Grelle (English)
    The Demon Lord from Ente Isla. After fleeing from Emilia and her companions, he and Ashiya are transported to modern-day Japan and transform into human form. To survive, he adopts a Japanese name similar to his original name, Sadao Maou, and begins working part-time at a MgRonald's franchise, eventually being promoted to full-time position as an assistant shift manager. He and other demons can transform into their original forms when people around them are filled with despair. However, he uses his powers for good deeds such as repairing the city, which causes others to question his current personality. However, it is later revealed that he was always like this and was not the "Evil Overlord" that the people of Ente Isla had grown to fear and hate; in reality, he did "evil" things to help his people, the demons, and protect others. When he was younger, Emi's mother, Lailah, rescued him and taught him, giving him a fragment of Sephiroth that later becomes his and Emi's chosen daughter, Alas Ramus. He later fuses with Alas Ramus' "younger sister" Acieth Alla, another fragment of "Yesod", to rescue Emi and Ashiya after Olba and the Angels kidnap them.

Her father was human and her mother was an archangel. When she was a child, Lucifer, one of Maou's generals, led an army of demons to attack her village, resulting in the death of her father, leading her to resent Maou and want to kill him. However, it is later revealed that her father is alive. Emi is later fired from her job at the call center and gets a new job at MgRonald's, where she works with Maou and Chiho. Despite her protests, Maou later appoints her Demon General of the Demon Army.

Maou later appoints her Demon General of the Demon Army, and she becomes well respected in the demon community.
