Description:
Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses—and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation—he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses!

Review:
OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN ....this show is just absolutely hilarious! Only half way through the season and I'm completely hooked and desperately wishing there will be a season 2. Ok so I'm not giving out any spoilers, but I will say the first few minutes of episode 1 is nothing like what the rest of the show will be like. 

However, it does help set the tone. You THINK you know how the rest of the anime will go, all cliche, an overdone story line, but this show has a way of catching you off guard -- and in a good way! 

The writers did a great job of balancing out dramatic battle scenes and comedy throughout the story, and leaving you with just a hint of romance (wishing there was more). I am thoroughly enjoying this anime and I am sure you will too!
