About the novels[]
How many volumes are there?[]
There are currently 21 volumes in Japan, plus some special volumes: vol 0, vol 0-II vol 2.8, vol 5.5, vol SP and vol SP2. For the English release all 21 volumes have all been released as of April 2022.
Where can I buy read the novels?[]
The novels have been licensed by Yen Press. You can buy the hard copy at your local bookstore or buy their eBook online. For those who try to save their money, Book Depository is a great place to order. It has free shipping worldwide and often has discounts on their products.
Isn't there any fan-translation that I can read?[]
Yes, but this isn't the place to ask for links. It's fine to read the free fan-translations, but the translator expects you to support the author by buying a legal copy. Do note that randomly posting links to free translations can bring the translator in trouble too.
Will we get an English translation of the special volumes?[]
It's very likely that volume 0 and 0-II will get an official translation, since they're part of the main series, the other two however will probably only get fan-translations. Volumes 2.8 and 5.5 weren't available for sale in Japan as they came together with the DVD/ Blue-Ray of the anime. That is why it's very unlikely for them to have an official translation.
About the anime adaptation[]
How much of the novels has the anime covered?[]
The first season of the anime only covered volumes 1 and 2 of the novels. This was probably done, because the first two volumes are introduction arcs, to make the reader familiar with the characters and setting. The second season covered volumes 3, 4, 5.5 and 5.
Is there a season 3?[]
A sequel to the second season has been announced on the 29th of September 2022. It is set to air in July 2023.
About the manga adaptation[]
There is a manga?[]
Yes, an official manga adaptation by Akio Hiragi and a spin-off series called, Hataraku Maou-sama! High School! by Mishima Kurone. The High School spin off has also gotten a Novel adaption which was written by Wagahara, however it does not follow the exact same plot as the manga.
Do these manga adaptations also have an English translation?[]
Yes, Yen Press is also releasing the English translation of these two manga.
How many volumes are there?[]
The manga adaptation currently has 19 volumes in Japan. These 19 volumes cover the first ten volumes and a special volume. Yen Press has currently released 18 volumes.
As for the Spin-off, Hatamaou! High School, it has five volumes in Japan and is completed. Yen Press has translated all five volumes of the Spin-off.
