Hataraku Maou Sama


So what anime are you watching recently? I am watching Hataraku Maou Sama which is also currently airing in Japan. 



Hataraku Maou Sama はたらく魔王さま, the title when translated to English means "The Devil is a Part-Timer".

Story goes like this, the Devil King Sadao was beaten by Hero Emilia and ended up in modern-day Tokyo where he has to work as a part timer to pay off for his living expenses as he has no real-world skills to speak of. The Demon Lord Satan found himself and King Sadao in human form in our human world, and they have to totally learn how to adapt to a new human environment.

In Tokyo, King Sadao is just like any normal human being, as he is not able to use his powers, if not he would not be flipping burgers in MgRonalds.

But he does look cute in the uniform and looks just like the boy-next-door working part time in a fast food restaurant, doesn’t he? 



Imma enjoying the comedic moments in this series, and as the story progresses, we get to know more about King Sadao and how his character slowly reveals.

The genre of this series is of a wide range, it can be a comedy, bits of romance, and I can really relate to the working environment in MgRonalds and the call centre ^^ and I think the character setting was quite well-established in the anime. It’s a light-hearted drama.

I usually watch this after work, to destress and have a good laugh, or at least it will put a smile on my face after watching it. And I really like the voice of King Sadao, really fits the character to a tee with his lively yet modulated voice.

I am still at episode 5, and there’s hardly a boring scene because at this stage, still getting to know about the characters and how the story will unfold. I guess I should download it into my phone and watch it during my commute time to work so I can speed up :)

The theme song is rather anime-ish and motivational, just a nice song you need to listen on your way to work everyday to instil some positive thoughts of the day. 

You can find the song here

The lyrics are rather inspiring and upbeat and were written by the singer herself too. No wonder I can feel the really lively mood of the song.

English Lyrics

Get out of the gate
True sky

This moment, this place, is where it begins
Let's try to imagine what we can go
There are even events that are unbelievable
Even further... we can overcome them all

Power of dream, can make everything come to life from zero
Shine and fly to that sky
Light blue wind, I want to flap my wings to it all I can
With the best of smiles and laugh
Let's go!

Let's fly out to the unknown world now
The one who picks and chooses his future, is myself
Let's go on chasing our dreams, there will also be days where we cry
That is the most important wish, don't let it fade
Because I will surely meet up with you tomorrow

When I'm with you, everything becomes fun
I want to be with you no matter when it is
The words that I can't convey, I embrace them
And gently.... let my feelings fly out

Power of love, from where does life comes from?
It's a mystery you know, when you realize the sign
Jewellery heart, grabs up to it, and don't let go
This is the strongest of encounters, more straightforward than anyone

Even if everything about the world changes
The truth is the only thing that won't change
Let aim for the top! Don't you forget that
Even if the road the star signs get cloudy
You should just go back to how you were from the start

You can find something that only you can do
At the end of the light, there's no limit
Let's fly out to the unknown world now
The one who picks and chooses his future, is myself
Let's go on chasing our dreams, there will be days where we cry
That is the most important wish, don't let it fade
Because I will surely meet up with you tomorrow

get out of the gate
true sky


Kanji Lyrics

この瞬間、この場所がスタート
イメージしてみよう 何ができるのかな
信じられない出来事だってある
もっと越えていけるね

power of dream 0から生まれるすべて
輝いて fly あの空へ
light blue wind 思いきり、羽ばたきたい
最高のスマイルで 笑いながら さぁ、ゆこう!

未知の世界へと今 飛び出そうよ
未来を選び、決めるのは自分
夢を追いかけてゆこう 泣く日もある
それは大事な願い、消えないで
きっと逢えるから 明日の君へ

君といると 楽しくなれるよ
どんなときだって いっしょにいたいんだ
伝えられない言葉、抱きしめて
そっと想い飛ばした

power of love どこから生まれてくるの…?
不思議だね sign 気づいたら
jewelry heart つかまえて、はなさないで
最強の出逢いだね 誰よりもまっすぐに

たとえ世界のすべて 変わったって
真実だけは 変わらずにあるよ
上を目指してゆこう! 忘れないで
星座が示す道が曇っても
0の自分へと還ればいい

君だけにできること 見つけられる
光の先へ限界なんてないの
未知の世界へと今 飛び出そうよ
未来を選び、決めるのは自分
夢を追いかけてゆこう 泣く日もある
それは大事な願い、消えないで
きっと逢えるから 明日の君へ
