Plot

Jahy, the feared and respected number-two ruler of the Demon Realm, suddenly finds herself powerless and shrunken in the human world after a magical girl destroys a powerful mana crystal, which also destroys her home realm.

Characters

Jahy (ジャヒー, Jahī)
Voiced by: Naomi Ōzora[5]
Jahy is the former aide to the Demon King and second-in-command of the Demon Realm who is now living in the human world after the Demon Realm perished. She aims to find mystic gems and restore her home world and her original body, which is in a child-like state after a magic crystal was destroyed by a magical girl, leaving her powerless. Though she struggles to adapt to her new surroundings and her current state, she remains confident, vigorous, and ambitious.[6][7]
Druj (ドゥルジ, Duruji)
Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[5]
A former subordinate of Jahy's who goes by the name Dojima (堂島, Dōjima) in the human world. She is the president of a consulting company. While Jahy lives in squalor in a decaying apartment building, she lives elegantly in a high-rise condominium.[6][7]
Manager (店長, Tenchō)

She manages a tavern called "Izakaya Maou" (居酒屋まおう, lit. "Demon King Tavern"), where Jahy currently works. She is very friendly with Jahy and gives her the nickname "Hy-chan." (ひーちゃん, Hī-chan)[6][7]

Saurva (サルワ, Saruwa)

Jahy is the second-in-command of the Dark Realm until a magical girl appears and shatters a giant mana crystal, destroying the Dark Realm and causing Jahy to lose almost all of her magical powers, leaving her in a small form. Determined to find the shattered parts of the crystal so she can regain her power and restore the Dark Realm, Jahy is forced to live in a run-down apartment while using her remaining magic to temporarily regain her adult form and work part-time at an izakaya restaurant. When her magic runs out and she is discovered in her smaller form by the store manager, Jahy attempts to take over the store only to be comforted by the manager instead. Later, the manager's sister Ryou, the landlord of Jahy's apartment building, struggles to get Jahy to pay her rent. When Jahy discovers her mana crystal necklace is missing, she finds that the manager had been holding onto it for her.
