The anime series "As Miss Beelzebub Likes" began airing in October 2018. Based on the manga of the same name by Matoba, it has been serialized in the boys' manga magazine Monthly Shonen Gangan since 2015. Eight volumes of the manga have been published to date. The story is set in Pandemonium, the administrative office of the demonic realm where fallen angels live. The protagonist is the coveted archdemon Beelzebub, who reigns supreme. This romantic comedy follows the daily lives of Beelzebub, a young man named Myurin who has come to serve him, and the people connected to him. This time, we'll introduce the charm of Moloch, a veteran demon who is as old as Beelzebub himself, the protagonist of "As Miss Beelzebub Likes."

① The Veteran Demon Moloch!

Molech is a veteran demon of the Pandemonium, on par with Beelzebub and Azazel. While it's unclear where he usually works, he's often found in the library, where he seems to be constantly attached to the library's director, Dantalion. He has blonde hair and always wears square glasses.

 

② He has a loud and noisy voice

Molech is often said to have a loud and noisy voice. He has a loud voice no matter where he is, even in places where quiet is expected, such as libraries. He also often repeats words, such as calling the library director by repeatedly chanting "Dantalion!! Dantalion!! Dantaorion!!"

 

③ Slacker?

When he first met Beelzebub's attendant, Myurin, and Myurin asked him if he had a job, Moloch smiled and replied, "My subordinates do the work, so I don't have to." Apparently, Moloch's role is to give Dantalion, the library director, a piggyback ride when he needs to reach a book that's up high, and he seems to think of this as his job.

④ Does he seem stupid?

Molech is overworked by Dantalion, the library director. While he doesn't appear to have any particular job, he apparently serves as Dantalion's stepladder. When Dantalion says, "You're big, so it's handy when you need to reach a book from a high place," Molek happily replies, "Dantalion's so smart!!" Such silly responses are part of Molek's charm.

⑤ Can't read the atmosphere?

Molech is not good at reading the mood, or rather, he doesn't seem to care. One day, Dantalion, the library director, was dozing off in his chair as usual. Eurynome, who loves beautiful boys, was admiring Dantalion with a dreamy expression. Then, while skipping rope in the library, Moloch suddenly burst into the room, shouting, "Dantalion! Dantalion, I'm bored! Let's skip rope!"

 

⑥ He's actually muscular

Moleku tends to slack off at work and his daily routine is shrouded in mystery, but he's actually muscular. When everyone bathes in the large public bath, he's even been complimented on his pectoral muscles. He himself has said, "Jumping rope is great," so it seems his physique has been toned by jumping rope.

⑦A Complete Oddball

A cold wave is approaching, and people are turning on the heaters and changing into winter clothes at Manmaden. Meanwhile, Moloch appears, wrapped in snow and playing with a "snowman" with only his face exposed. It appears his head is covered in snow, and while it's unclear how long he's been like that, it's clear that Moloch is quite the eccentric.

 

⑧ He's also a caring friend

Molech looks happy after turning himself into a snowman. However, there seems to have been a reason for his transformation. Apparently, his friend and librarian, Dantalion, was nearby reading a book. Dantalion had been planning to read a book while breathing in the fresh air when a cold snap hit, but he continued reading outside because he felt the conversation was going to be awkward. It seems that Moloch, thinking of Dantalion, stayed with him the whole time. He also has a caring side to his friends.

⑨Outdoorsy

Molech works at the library, albeit slacking off a lot. He wears glasses and seems like an indoor person at first glance, but he's actually more of an outdoorsy guy. He likes jumping rope and is actually quite muscular, so it seems he exercises regularly. One day, he even invited Dantalion to go fishing, claiming he'd made his own fishing rod.

 

⑩ The voice actor for the anime version is Kazuyuki Okitsu
