But when a new employee appears with a very interesting resume, Raul soon finds himself working side-by-side with none other than the Demon Lord’s daughter. Now, not only does Raul have to train his sworn enemy, but he’s stuck cleaning up her messes, too.

Take "The Devil is a part-timer." Switch the genders of the protagonists . And set it in a department store . This show has a whole different kind of laughs . The action doesn't pick up until the end

With its funny moments it shows the male protagonist going through a maturing process of learning not to judge where one comes from but accepting them for who they are.

It was great quality animation and good writing all around. Definitely not to be taken as a serious traditional fantasy.
