The series will hit TBS and BS-TBS when it airs on Japanese TV.

Izumo Ito’s Machikado Mazoku manga launched in the pages of Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara magazine in September 2014. Four compiled volumes have been released to date, with the most recent shipping to stores on October 25, 2018.

Manga resource Baka-Updates describes the title as:

A 4-koma that follows Yoshida Yuuko, a 15-year-old girl who awakens one morning with demonic power, and is tasked with defeating a local magical girl. She has horns and a tail, but truthfully less power than an ordinary girl. She struggles to lift the “curse of a 40,000 yen per month living.”
