Oh yeah apparently Ashiya's romance also apparently didn't work out for reasons spoilers didn't really indicate

I'm actually not surprised. It doesn't seem like it would.

I remember the series getting worse after the point where anime ended, but that still sounds like an awful ending.

The anime was actually a great improvement on the basic material.

Boo! The worse part is Maou being human. BOO!

He already got rid of his unky demon form.

Thank gid the anime never continued beyond the point it did.

Edit: Also if the salt Im seeing is real All the Ente Isla humans also lost? And Maou gives up being a King and apologizes to Ashiya?

Also humans continue to hold grudges despite not having their hands clean so that justifies fighting Maou? What? He apologizes to Ashiya and doesnt do right by the demons despite his declaration? All the talk of co existence became meaningless? Nothing mattered

Yup these are all things form the last novel.

Tbh, I stopped following this series after the Anime. Saw a bit of the manga, but wasn't interested in following.

Kinda funny how people are mainly invested in shipping because of course they are.

To be honest Arha is right to stop when the anime did.

Theres much less Devil is a part timer later, and what we did get as a plot instead ends up with a copout.

The only thing of worth later is Emi intentionally flirting with Maou to get back at her mom.

That's the last plot point I remember, and their magical baby.

There was something with the church being corrupt too?

There was also a conspiracy from the angels who are also aliens except gasp they actually aren't because humans and angels shouldn't be able to interbreed if they're different species, yet they can, so Emi's presence is really awkward for them. But, like, who cares? The conspiracy and Ente Isla stuff never felt relevant or interesting except in how it shaped the main cast in the present.

I got the feeling people were more interested in the Enta Ilsa stuff than typical harem shennanigans on earth.

But that opinion felt like a minority

I wanted more struggles with being a Mcdonalds employee and trying to get emough magic to go back and be a Demon King by rising up the ranks.

Ala the alice of life was the best, with Bara Maou appearing to save the day when needed.

The stuff happening on Earth was more interesting because we're invested in Earth, not a random fantasy world that has zero characters we're invested in.

Because it should be obvious to everyone who has read the story.

Been following the manga, which means I'm probably going to forget about this by the time it reaches the end. Going to save my disappointment for future me.

To be honest resolving the Ente Isla plot properly after having already set it up would have been the rational thing to do, instead of....this.

Like I never liked it, especially when the seeds became little girls, but I gritted my teeth because it did engsge in some of the comedy of the past like Emi's reaction to her mother, but this sounds uhhhhhhhhhh....

Detailed summary of the final volume

The tl;dr version: Emi likes Maou, but never acts on it because she's a selfless hero. After Maou and Chihiro got together, she tells him that Emi likes him too and she's fine with him having a harem, so as long as she stays the first wife.

And yes, the stuff about him not becoming king and throwing it on Ashiya's plate is true too.

So...it's good or bad on how you feel about that situation. Most people feel it's the latter tho.

Looking at the later developments, it's like the author completely missed what made people interested in the series in the first place. We came for wacky shenanigans of fantasy characters living on modern Earth, we don't care for any of this generic fantasy conspiracy crap.

Guess the anime adapted the best part of the story.
