Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun mostly focuses on comedy but comprises of life lessons as well. The series is a blend of Isekai-shonen genre. With the usual naive pacifist lead, the series takes an expedition to regular high-school with a modicum of demonic touch. The plot is quite interesting however, the setup as is, it lacks character development.
After being sold off, Sullivan takes Iruma to the netherworld and put Iruma’s worries to rest. For Sullivan, who never had a kid merely wants to adopt Iruma as a grandchild. The conversation bemused Iruma and he cannot comprehend the gravity? However, He decided to stay in the netherworld considering the fact that there is no one for him in the real world.
