Satoshi further added that ‘a lot’ goes into anime making and he is not sure whether there will be The Devil Is a Part-Timer season 2 or not. But he stated that he is the biggest fan of the series and like all fans, he is hopeful that the anime will see a second season.
Just like the light novel series, the first season of The Devil Is a Part-Timer! Was also a complex one that introduced us many characters with multiple names. This kept the plot interesting. Even though many claimed the series to be a boring reverse-harem anime yet many would agree that the show is a unique one.
