We were just recovering from the end of its fourth season, and the surprises for the underworld are just beginning. During the special event “DEVIL’S PARTY! 2,” the Mairimashita! Iruma-kun (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun) franchise dropped the ultimate bombshell via a promotional video: the charismatic human student will get his first animated movie, which will hit theaters with a completely new plot.

The announcement of the film is also heating up excitement for the celebration of the original manga’s tenth anniversary, which will take place next year. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the production confirmed it won’t be a recap, but an original adventure created for the big screen.

Voice actor Ayumu Murase, who plays beloved Iruma Suzuki, shared his excitement about the project, noting that the plot will unfold in a way that will leave everyone wondering what happens next, promising to give his best during recording sessions. For her part, the original work’s author, Osamu Nishi, commented with laughter that his surroundings forbade revealing any details for now, but assured that the team is working hard to deliver an unforgettable work.

This major cinematic project arrives just after the conclusion of the fourth season, which aired its 24th episode last Saturday after two continuous broadcast blocks since its April premiere. After the journey begun with the first installment in October 2019, the three subsequent entries and this new film, the adaptation continues to prove itself one of the most beloved fantasy comedies by the audience.

About Mairimashita! Iruma-kun

Written and illustrated by Osamu Nishi, the Mairimashita! Iruma-kun manga began its publication in the Weekly Shonen Champion magazine by publisher Akita Shoten in March 2017. The work has reached 50 compiled volumes in the Japanese market and exceeds 20 million copies in circulation, solidifying itself as one of the cornerstone titles in the publisher’s catalog.

The story follows Iruma Suzuki, a kind fourteen-year-old with the worst luck in the world, whose fate changes dramatically when his irresponsible parents sell him to the demon Sullivan. To his surprise, the elderly demon doesn’t seek to harm him, but to fulfill his dream of having a grandson to spoil. Thus, Iruma ends up enrolled in Babyls, the prestigious school of the demon world, where he must hide his human condition while trying to blend in among dangerous creatures, getting involved in all sorts of hilarious trouble.

What do you think of Iruma’s arrival on the big screen and what madness do you expect to see in this original story?
