Hell hath no fury like Satan on fries...

One of the most hilarious and inspired light novel concepts in years justifiably spun off hugely popular manga and animation adaptations.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A portal opens in the courtyard of the Devil's Castle (a tiny walk-up). From it emerges a little girl who calls the Devil King "Papa" and the Hero "Mama." Ashiya and Chiho are shocked to discover that Mao and Emi had that kind of relationship, but nobody's more surprised than the two new "parents."

Will Maou the breadwinner be able to make the grade when it comes to child rearing? And will this spell the end of the starry-eyed Emi's romantic ambitions?

The Devil is a Part-Timer, Vol. 3 (Novel) explores these unexpected twists and turns with humour and heart, presenting a fascinating challenge in the life of the unanticipated family.
