The manga was serialized in the Dengeki Maoh imprint and illustrated by Kurone Mishima, who is best known for her work on theKonoSubalight novel series. The second spin-off, Hataraku Maō-sama no Meshi!, adapts one of the light novel’s spin-off volumes and is illustrated by Oji Sado.
The anime aired in 2013 during the Spring season and ran for 13 episodes. The series was produced by studio White Fox,best known for theSteins;Gate, andRe:Zeroanime adaptations. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired and released the series on home video a year later.
