The once-feared Demon Lord Satan of Ente Isla, who had to flee to Earth after being defeated by the hero Emilia Justinia, is now leading a peaceful life in Tokyo under the alias Sadao Maou. Amidst a violent argument between Sadao and Emi, a dimensional portal suddenly appears, carrying a mysterious apple that harbors a toddler named Alas Ramus. To everyone's bewilderment, she imprints on Emi and Sadao, marking them as her parents! After Emi reluctantly agrees to help Sadao take care of Alas Ramus, their semblance of normal life is jeopardized by the appearance of the archangel Gabriel, who comes bearing bad news. He claims that he must take both Alas Ramus and Emi's sacred sword with him—lest the world be destroyed. Unable to accept Gabriel's grim prophecies, the hero and the former Demon Lord need to put their differences aside and unite to protect what they hold dearest.

Community reviews for The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, shown here with its season details.
I liked it because it's once more one of the anime that does not conform to preconceived ideas. In the story I liked the overall alternative approach and the challenges it sets about what/who is good or bad (as a base and if/when that has to be reassessed). Liked all the characters. Audio & animations are ok/good (not bad but not excellent).

Alas Ramus seems dead set on the idea that Maou and Emi are her parents. After a few attempts at babysitting by Maou and Ashiya, though, it's clear that Chiho is the only one ready to cope with the realities of parenting.
