DESCRIPTION

Iruma Suzuki has always been eager to please, even at the cost of his well-being. Worst yet, he's the son of two selfish parents who end up selling him to a demon. Thanks to their totally irresponsible actions, Iruma has found himself living in the Netherworld, where he must live and attend school as the grandson of an older demon. Luckily, his new, doting grandfather is there to help, but Iruma will have to figure out how to blend in with his demonic classmates or risk getting eaten. All he needs to do is subjugate rival classmates, summon familiars, and do other typical demon things while never revealing that he's human… Piece of cake, right?

Iruma-Kun somehow excels both as a nuanced examination of greed and demonism and as a lighthearted comedy!
Iruma-Kun, Iruma-Kun, Iruma-Kun. God do I absolutely adore this manga!! It's so endearing and smart, the plot decisions never feel forced or unearned like most shounen manga, and the characters are fleshed out, interesting, and most importantly entertaining. It always surprises me to see that there is such a lack of fandom for the series; it has 3 seasons of anime, over 300 chapters, and has great power scaling and action scenes, especially in the manga. It, for lack of better wording, is everything MHA should've been and more. So, seeing the lack of a review for it on this site, I decided I'd put in my two cents on this absolute gem of a series. Minor spoilers ahead, you have been warned!
(This review is up to chapter 278 of the manga. Opinions may change.)

To start, the 100% highlight of this manga, the Characters. I am not exaggerating when I say this may be the best cast of any major shounen out there, every character feels fresh and interesting, even those with minuscule screen time. Asking me which is my favorite is literally impossible because it changes daily, that's how much fun, and how expertly organized this cast is. The biggest thing, to me, is how well done the misfits class is as characters. Every single one has their own struggles, arcs, and moments in multiple different ways, and the focus doesn't always have to be on Iruma.

The Harvest Festival arc is a great example of this, as the time spent away from Iruma to develop the supporting cast is important. A lot of manga try to have characters undergo "development" either right before a death scene or for one big moment and then never touch them again. Iruma Kun does the exact opposite. By utilizing actual time and chapters to each character, they go from classmates of Iruma to individual characters. Jazz and his brother, Elizabeth and her relationship with love, Gaap's stubbornness contrasted with Agare's lack of care. And this is just the Misfit class!! Besides them, we have Opera and Kalego's chemistry, Sullivan learning how to parent, the Six Fingers, and Baal (Who is extremely intriguing as a villain and definitely has the chance to become my favorite character in the series.) Hell, even the fucking obligatory pervert character Caim gets some actual development later on.

And of course, I can't forget BEST GIRL AMERI!! The perfect love interest to Iruma, as she is a direct foil to his subservient demeanor and helps him grow to be more independent. Meanwhile, Iruma helps her grow through his innate kindness. I cannot express enough how insanely great their dynamic is. To sum it up, I would genuinely feel devastated if literally, any character died in this manga, because they are all fleshed-out, nuanced characters that I love. I can't think of another manga I can say that about.

Now the plot, which once again is a strong suit for Iruma-Kun. Though it starts out slow, the great worldbuilding, excellent comedy, and strong thematic core surrounding ambition, greed, and power are truly one of a kind. First off, Iruma-Kun is so intensely immersive in its world. The demon school, rank-up system, bloodline ability power, and political mind games surrounding the Demon King are brilliantly executed. I'm genuinely excited for every new chapter to see more and more of this vast world, and this comes from someone who doesn't particularly care about this element of a story in the first place. Plus, it's consistent, there are no significant unearned powerups, and villain characters are genuinely threatening (Especially Atori, whose presence later on literally makes the manga shift into horror territory for a bit.) Overall, the world and depth of Iruma-Kun is apparent and well-executed, and I can't wait to see what the future has on hold for it.
Genuine Nightmare Fuel.
While discussing the more serious aspects of Iruma-Kun is all well and good, it would be a shame to ignore the delightful comedy and lighthearted fun Iruma-Kun inserts within the narrative. I don't particularly enjoy comedic bits that distract from serious moments, but Iruma-Kun does a great job at knowing when comedic relief is needed vs when it's not. Arcs like Walter Park can have comedic aspects along with more serious moments and still feel like there are stakes and not childish. On the flip side, moments like the end of the Heartbreaker arc don't have any comedy due to how grim the situation is. Along with the excellent pacing of the comedy in the story, it is genuinely funny as well. Sure you have some duds here and there, but due to how much I love this cast I feel like I can forgive them. Alice has this whole indebted-to-Iruma joke that feels both strong emotionally and never gets dry in terms of how it's used comedically. Kalego's deadpan attitude compared to the rest of the Misfit class is hilarious, and when he trolls them or messes around with the students it's extremely funny to read. Best girl Ameri has the most entertaining gag in the series though, her love of a traditional romcom manga contrasts her hard exterior perfectly. Overall, Iruma-Kun's comedy shines forth as a prominent example of how to utilize comedic relief and still maintain a strong story with stakes.
Best girl and Best boy!
Finally, the story has a really strong thematic core as well, and it continually pops up in the story, that being the differences in ambition and desire that all of demonkind has. An important thing to understand here is that "Demon School Iruma-Kun" is just that; a school of demons. They are not humans and lack a lot of human aspects as well, with all that remains to be a desire for greed and power. Iruma himself parallels this through his altruism, and it's really interesting to see Iruma become more demonlike, whilst his own influence makes the other demons more humanlike. Many people's favorite arc is the Royal One arc, and for good reason. It showcases ambition in an unclouded lens, allowing for our cast to unite as one amongst Iruma through the least demon-ish method possible; diplomacy. This unique way of tackling unbridled ambition and greed is a core part of the Royal One arc, along with every other one along the way. Though it's most obvious in how Iruma goes from a doormat to less-of-a-doormat, there are a lot of other examples of this, such as Purson's ambition that gets in the way of his expected path, Balam's pursuit of knowledge, and most entertainingly in Keroli's desire to keep Gyari under her grasp and control their relationship due to her own greed (Which made for one of my favorite lesbian couples in manga ever.) Overall, Iruma-Kun does not get enough credit for how seamlessly it mixes its great writing with similar motifs, though in general, it doesn't get enough credit for a LOT of things...
Toxic gatekeeping at its finest!
Wow... I wrote a lot about Iruma-Kun huh! I was gonna talk a bit about the gorgeous art, but I've been typing for a few hours already, and want to wrap this up. So basically, Iruma-Kun is really great at like... Everything. The only real flaws are a few dragged-out moments or a few missed jokes, but aside from that, it is just so, so good. I highly recommend it to anyone out there looking for a fun, easy read with enjoyable characters, great depth, and... yeah I pretty much recommend it to everyone! Thanks for reading :D

One of the most endearing mangas I have had the pleasure of reading.
Introduction

We begin with our protagonist Iruma-kun who has been sold off to a high ranking demon by his parents because that's the kind of parents he has but as a twist of fate, the demon wants nothing more than to adopt him as his grandchild and send Iruma to a demon school Babyls in the netherworld where he's the principal. Iruma must constantly hide his identity as a human while attending school, lest he may get eaten.

Setup

Now reading all that, you might suspect this is some dark show, I thought so too for the first 6 minutes of the anime (Yes, I watched the anime first before picking up the manga, that's fantastic too). But this is where I was hit by the curveball and you discover the charm of the netherworld written by Nishi. The demons other than being able to use magic and having some special tricks are not all that different from humans, in fact their ambitions/desires helps them be even more colourful.

Art style

The artstyle is very fitting for this type of manga and compliments well with the kind of story and environment. Each of the character designs are memorable and compliment their colourful personality. Overall it serves well to potray the light hearted tone of this manga.

Cast

Iruma is ofcourse just a bundle of positive energy and wholesome vibes, and everyone in his vicinity is susceptible to this influence. Other main characters are well written and charming too especially Azz-kun and Clara. As the story progresses, the ensemble cast grows and we get to learn more details about the rest of his class as well as the teachers and slowly the whole school and beyond. It's commendable how Nishi has handled such a large ensemble cast and managed to flesh out everyone so well without running into serious pacing issues with the narrative. I like nearly every character put on a panel and it was intended this way.

The cast is the main draw for this series. It's hard to describe what this manga does so well or uniquely compared to others who have experimented with similar themes but I think it's the vibes. Sorry if I don't have a deep academic or literary word for it, but it's just the vibe of this manga which differentiates it from others. Iruma being a human offers a unique perspective into the netherworld, to one which viewers can relate but also his outlook and feelings are what get through the other demons in the netherworld and this comes off as Charisma. This effect is what shapes many arcs and relationships. At the same time because of how ambitious demons are, they also affect Iruma into becoming more ambitious himself and raising his self esteem. The character growth and development of everyone in his class is endearing to watch.

Narrative

The Babyls school as portrayed by the manga serves as excellent escapism from whatever conceptions one has of a human school. From the wonderful scenery, the fun classes where you learn magic and to the teachers who are giving their all for the growth of their students. They even go so far as to say that the students are the treasures of the school. All this serves to create an excellent environment which shapes all the demons to grow and fulfill their ambitions. It's hard to imagine wanting to go to school if you go into another world but this one's an exception. Iruma himself ends up liking the school so much that he grows attached to it. A big part of the school experience is focused on "rank ups" which involve a student achieving an extraordinary result like winning a competition, doing well in a tournament, etc to achieve a rank up. These serve as challenges to help students grow and as their rank rises to high enough levels, the scope gradually increases from just within the school to outside the school as well.

The netherworld isn't just Babyls school after all, nor is everything as well and dandy in the netherworld. As we learn more about the outside world we get a broader idea of it's inhabitants and places, learn what kind of society netherworld is and what will Iruma's place be in such a society. It also circles back into what Iruma and his friends have to learn in school in order to thrive and possibly change the political landscape. The juxtaposition of Slice of School Life elements and the Political world building aspects which shape the netherworld is done brilliantly.

Conclusion

As of this review, Iruma is in 2nd year of his high school, so I reckon the manga is around halfway complete. Given what we have seen so far and the shift in focus from Babyls to all of netherworld, I am very excited to see how this series continues. Until now it's been a really fun and heartening ride. I look forward for the rest and hope more people would give this anime/manga a shot.
