Yuko Yoshida is just an ordinary schoolgirl — until one day her dormant, devilish powers are unleashed by the demon Lilith! Yuko transforms into Shadow Mistress Yuko, a supernatural powerhouse with horns and a devil tail. Now she must defeat another mystical being named Momo Chiyoda, the shrine maiden of the Light Clan… who just so happens to go to Yuko’s school! But being a demonic magical girl isn’t as easy as it looks, and Yuko has a whole lot to learn before she’s ready to fulfill her destiny and take on the Clan of Light.
The Demon Girl Next Door is produced by J.C.STAFF (Flying Witch , Golden Time , The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) and directed by Hiroaki Sakurai (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Azumanga Daioh, Ouran High School Host Club). Mai Otsuka (Amagi SS , Non Non Biyori , The Familiar of ZERO) is in charge of character design.
The series stars Konomi Kohara ( Tsukigakirei, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Domestic Girlfriend ) as Yūko Yoshida, Akari Kitō ( Princess Principal , Demon Slayer, Tsuredure Children ) as Momo Chiyoda and Minami Takahashi ( FLIP FLAPPERS , Food Wars! , Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? ) as Lilith.
