This special edition is everything I didn’t know I needed and more. It keeps the heart and humour of the original Iruma-kun series while giving it a deliciously chaotic twist with the mafia AU. The dramatic flair is turned up to eleven, the style is sleek and stylized, and I absolutely adored how it played with genre tropes while still staying true to the characters’ core personalities.

Iruma is still that lovable, wide-eyed chaos magnet we know and love—but now he’s caught up in turf wars and suit jackets and somehow it all works so well. The character redesigns? Chef’s kiss.

The humour is still top-tier, but there’s a little more edge here—and it fits perfectly.
My only note? I WANT MORE. I’d love to see this concept expanded—maybe a mini-series or spin-off with even more mafia-fied chaos.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or just love a weird, stylish remix of familiar favorites, this was an absolute treat. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read it early!

This manga was super cute and fun. I haven’t read welcome to demon school original arc so maybe someone who has read those would enjoy this more. There isn’t much of a plot to this, but it’s still fun to read. I’d recommend reading it. Artwork is good and the characters are likeable. It is a bit repetitive on the original premise of the book (age and how he was taken in), but it only happened maybe four times.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!!

Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun! Is one of my favorite anime’s and when I saw an AU spin off I was very interested. There’s a lot of callback to everyone being “demons” and I was interested to see how it would look in a mafia AU. We get introduced to Sullivan, Opera, and Kalego. Opera is one of my fave characters so I was so happy to see them! They seem to have a bigger role here than they do in the original series. I’m so excited to see how everyone else looks. We get a little tease of As-Kun at the end. I can’t wait to see Clara too. Like the friend group is going to see so cute and funny in this universe. Iruma is just as sweet, silly, and big hearted as he is in the original series. He always just wants to help and do what he can for others no matter what. This series is so wholesome and always makes me grin and laugh. I highly recommend this and the original if you enjoy cute supernatural anime!

Absolutely loved this spinoff of Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun!
There was a mafia theme throughout and the personalities of the characters in this spinoff stays true to their personalities in the main story. It is a fun read, flows well, and the art style is similar to the main story's. Thus far, the characters are introduced one at a time and have different situations where they are affected by Iruma's actions. Volume one left off with who will be entering the series next. As you can imagine, Iruma doesn't seem be fit for the position of second boss, but he is doing things his own way.

Will definitely be continuing this spinoff .

This is just an adorable adventure featuring a naive young man with a good heart who just so happens to be adopted into a mafia family. The first book is the strongest of the stories, where five year old Iruma doesn't know or understand what's going on while the reader does, allowing for more humor. The second and third story have a teenage Iruma -- who still has a good heart -- but focuses more on hi jinx.

Apparently this is an AU of an existing series, but having not read the original, I can only judge this one based on what there is to read, and I have to say I think it's a lot of fun. The manga is well drawn, the action scenes easy to follow, and the characters well designed. If you give this a try, I hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC!
