The Devil is a Part-Timer! has a simple structure: one 13-episode first season from 2013 and a second season from 2022 that was split into two 12-episode halves. The story runs straight through all three, with each part continuing from the last.
Season 2 picks up the story nine years later with a different studio, and Part 2 follows directly from the last episode of Part 1. Some sites list Part 2 as Season 3, but officially it is the second half of Season 2.
Chiichai! Maou-sama!! is a set of one-minute chibi shorts released online alongside Season 2. They are comedy extras rather than story, so they sit below the line.
The Devil is a Part-Timer! has 3 seasons in the main run — 37 episodes altogether.

Where each part of the anime lines up with the source, so you know where to pick up reading.
Only spin-offs that tie into the main story are listed here — anthologies, fan books and the like are left out.
Season 2 condenses Volumes 3-10 and rearranges some events, so starting from Volume 3 fills in what the anime skipped. The light novel ended in 2020 with 21 main volumes, all released in English by Yen Press.
Start with Episode 1 of Season 1 (2013). Season 2 continues the story directly, so it is not a starting point.
Season 1 (2013, 13 episodes), then Season 2 (2022, 12 episodes), then Season 2 Part 2 (2023, 12 episodes). The chibi shorts Chiichai! Maou-sama!! are optional.
Yes. Some streaming guides and news sites list the 2023 episodes as Season 3, but officially they are the second half of Season 2, airing from July 13 to September 28, 2023. The episode table on this page lists the two halves separately, so it counts three entries in the main run; officially the anime has two seasons.
Season 2 came out nine years after Season 1 and was made by a different studio. Season 1 was animated by White Fox, while Season 2 was animated by Studio 3Hz with a new director and new character designs.
No. It is a set of 24 one-minute chibi comedy shorts released on X (Twitter) and YouTube in 2022 alongside Season 2. Nothing in them affects the story.
Yes, for all three TV parts. Funimation dubbed Season 1 in 2014, and the Season 2 dub began streaming on Crunchyroll on August 4, 2022. The main cast stays the same throughout: Josh Grelle as Maou, Felecia Angelle as Emi, Tia Ballard as Chiho, Anthony Bowling as Ashiya, Aaron Dismuke as Urushihara, and Alex Moore as Suzuno, with Sarah Wiedenheft joining as Alas Ramus in Season 2.
No. There are no anime-original filler arcs. Season 2 goes the other way: it condenses light novel volumes 3-10 and rearranges some events, so parts of the story are skipped rather than padded.
In the US, all three TV parts stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Availability differs by region, so check the services in your country.
The anime has not adapted the whole story. Season 2 Part 2 ended on September 28, 2023, at around volume 10 of the 21-volume light novel, and no further anime has been announced. The light novel itself is finished.
Volume 11 picks up after Season 2 Part 2. Because Season 2 condenses volumes 3-10 and changes the order of some events, starting from Volume 3 gives you the material the anime skipped.
Yes. Satoshi Wagahara's light novel ended in 2020 with 21 main volumes, illustrated by 029. Yen Press has released all 21 volumes in English.
The 37 TV episodes take about 15 hours at roughly 24 minutes per episode. The chibi shorts add about 25 minutes.
