Why This Order

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! Watch Order FAQ

Where should I start with The Devil is a Part-Timer!?

Start with Episode 1 of Season 1 (2013). Season 2 continues the story directly, so it is not a starting point.

What is the correct order to watch The Devil is a Part-Timer!?

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.

Is Season 2 Part 2 the same as Season 3?

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.

Why does Season 2 look different from Season 1?

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.

Do I need to watch Chiichai! Maou-sama!!?

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.

Is there an English dub?

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.

Are there any filler episodes?

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.

Where can I watch The Devil is a Part-Timer!?

In the US, all three TV parts stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Availability differs by region, so check the services in your country.

Is The Devil is a Part-Timer! finished, and will there be another season?

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.

Where should I start the light novel after the anime?

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.

Is The Devil is a Part-Timer! light novel finished?

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.

How long does it take to watch The Devil is a Part-Timer!?

The 37 TV episodes take about 15 hours at roughly 24 minutes per episode. The chibi shorts add about 25 minutes.
