Can’t wait for her to either turn out to be an assassin or to have been sent by the church to seduce Maou and neutralize the threat.
The episode was hilarious as usual. Nothing much happening, just hanging out at home and introducing the new character by having her mother Lucifer.
Plus of course more love triangle quadrangle hijinks. Poor Chiho, her love was doomed from the start. The highlight continues to be Emi and Maou’s relationship.
Actually, I take that back. The highlight of this episode was having a bunch of assassins try to kill Emi and then running away when the convenience store manager threw stuff at them.
Yeah, I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I fail miserably at blogging comedies. If you have to explain something it’s not funny. The only exception is Valvrave where just posting screenshots is enough to make you double over lapping. You guys asked for this on the poll though, so I’ll go through with it.
Maou and Ashiya sure have gotten used to Emi’s stalking. Their reaction to catching her randomly snooping around their apartment is to invite her in and serve her food.
I find it a bit weird that “the Church” is usually portrayed in such an overtly negative light in anime. I guess there aren’t too many other organizations with such a ready supply of hooded inquisitors and big, dramatic hangouts.
To be fair they probably thought she was just coming in anyways. I don’t think they even realized she was stalking them.
Yeah, the Church is always the big bad in anime. But to be fair “God” is always the final boss so it makes sense. I guess.
The thing the convenience store manager threw on the thief, was a large paintball which would color the thief which make him more noticeable in the crowd when he escapes.

Ah! I was confused about that. At first I thought it was an orange… with very unrealistic physics. Thanks for the link!
Don’t listen to him! It’s actually a paintball. Trust me, I’ve worked for over 20 years in the convenience-store-night-shift-cashier-business, and one of the hardest skills to master in our six-week-long pre-cashier training courses is the art of skilfully throwing overripe oranges at such a speed that they splatter orange and shatter skin. Part of the training was on human targets, and the other cashier-wannabes and I had to practise on each other for accuracy….
…trust me, you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of that thing.
(P.S. I’m actually blogging Maou-sama now… after having no comments for the past six weeks I’m just going to go all-out and shamefully advertise it now because that’s the state of O-New today. ):
I MEAN, IT’S ACTUALLY AN ORANGE. i haven’t written a comment for too long kill me now
Sounds like some harsh training. I don’t think I could make it through…
It’s okay, I’m surprised to hear you have any shame left.
I think your coverage is excellent, Draggle! This is a comedy w/ a plot and I think much better to cover than a 4-koma adaptation (although I would have preferred you covering Railgun II which I find just awesome).
Yay for Maou becoming shift manager! At first I thought the series would be about how he works himself up the chain of command at McRo and thus conquers the human world. I doubt it now, as he has just reached shift manager status and we’re already halfway through the series. But still, I like his attitude. Just note how lazy the combini guy is who’s in a position similar to Maou!
I was somewhat disappointed by Suzuno, though. Did she really prepare a heart-shaped bento for Maou even though the just met a day ago? This looks rather cheap to me and not at all “traditional”. But I’m already one ep. behind so perhaps this has already been explained
PS: Best scene was how the attacker ran into the sliding door at the shop front. That happens when you’re new in RL.
Haha yep. That’s always embarrassing…
Thank you! Yeah, I can do better at this than a 4-koma or something like Dog Days (which I think was my last attempt at a comedy, complete disaster).
I don’t think Maou is ever going to conquer the human world. That’s sort of the point. 🙂 If he actually succeeded it wouldn’t be all that funny seeing him try. He does have an excellent attitude for success though.
I don’t see heart shaped bento being traditional at all either, not sure where she got that idea from.
