Meanwhile, Yen Press recently acquired the English license for The Demons Are Planning Something Good and plans to publish Volume 1 in August 2025. The publisher describes the story as follows:
Synopsis
While things like clothing-melting slime or tentacle traps may seem trivial to humans, each of these devious setups is the result of a demon’s hard work, dedication, and meticulous planning.
Behind every fiendish trap lies the blood, sweat, and tears of demons striving to perfect their craft.
Originally gaining popularity on Twitter, this hilarious comedy series offers a fresh perspective on the unsung struggles of the demon world, now expanded with brand-new short stories.
