Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Vol. 2
Comical Rendezvous
Despite his best efforts to avoid attention, Iruma’s dumb luck and good nature have made him the talk of Babyls. But his unwanted fame has also caught the eye of the student council president, Ameri, who suspects that Iruma may not be the demon others think he is. As Iruma’s string of uncanny feats continues, Ameri draws closer to the truth, and before long, their worlds come crashing together in a fateful and heart-pounding encounter.

Iruma’s off to a bad start keeping a low profile, as he can’t seem to stop finding himself the centre of attention. But school is also a time for love, for some, and the student council president, Amari, begins taking lessons from some unlikely sources.
The best comedy comes from the jokes you don’t see coming. I would argue that the second best comedy comes from the jokes you can see coming a mile off and are still funny anyway. It’s the latter scenario that this volume trades in and makes for a good laugh for the reader.
There’s no question that the Amari portions of the story are the best - the second she said she had forbidden tomes about humans I was thinking it was going to be shojo manga and boy was that a great reveal. I am a big sucker for manga-in-a-manga, so that was me sorted.
The fake manga, First Love Memories, is perfect because it perfectly nails the tropes that then start showing up in this section with Amari . I also love the conceit that none of the demons can read Japanese, so Iruma is quickly pressed into service doing narration.
This then pays off even further at the end of the volume when they have a fake intro page for First Love Memories that details the series’ ostensible plot, which turns out to be absolutely insane. That made me laugh just from the splash of absurdity.
The other obvious joke comes when Iruma decides to rank up and the method is based on competing in an ancient demonic battle that quickly has the edges sanded down to reveal that it’s just basic old dodgeball. As if that’s safe in the real world, let alone one where demons are involved.
This arc is fitfully amusing, but it really feels like the set-up for something that doesn’t quite measure up to its potential. Iruma’s training with Opera is probably the most enjoyable part of the whole thing, but the game proper is kind of… just there. The messaging is good, just not the execution.
I like how the story is going out of its way to have something interesting to say in general, actually. I really enjoyed Amari in general (her love of shojo is… very relatable), but the way she pushes Iruma to think that he can actually want something for himself for once in his life was a really solid character moment for both of them.
And we still have a full class we have yet to meet, some of whom could use such small things as names or identities, but I really enjoyed having Az and Clara back around. Even if Clara has minimal going on with the main plot, she is often freewheeling chaos in the background. Normally that would drive me crazy, but somehow this series manages it.
I think if I had to describe the feel of the manga right now, it would be ‘chummy’. It has a certain ‘check in with some friends and see what they’re up to’ that makes it really easy to just chew through a volume. And that also carries it when the jokes and plotting are just hitting ‘okay’ levels.
3.5 stars - one brilliant section, one okay section, some smaller stuff. I just won’t be rounding up because the first volume was funnier. This is still a really enjoyable series, however, and I like the way it’s setting itself up for a nice long run that I can happily take for what it is.

This manga just keeps getting better and better!!

Rereading this in an official English translation is so much fun. Iruma, Azz, and the gang are all amazing characters who are slowly but surely developing into amazing demons. This story is so much fun and I can’t wait to keep reading.

Iruma-kun (the series) shows us what healthy and supportive friendships and bonds look like. It really hit me when Iruma was asked if he really wanted to return to the mortal realm, and he said “of course I do” but then thought about each element he’s experienced on each side. Comparing them side by side, the Netherworld is kinder and more of a home than the mortal realm ever was. The place Iruma has found himself in now is what kindness and support looks like in his world.
Iruma inspires others to grow and be better versions of themselves, and in turn he becomes surrounded by people who lift him up and inspire him to be a better version of himself too. I really like the spotlight on Ameri Azazel in this case and in this volume, but it doesn’t overshadow the bonds and experiences he’s sharing with nearly everyone he meets. His experiences with Alice Asmodeus and Clara are something so special too; and I loved watching him battle Asmodeus with everything they both had. And Iruma genuinely won with his real hardwork and merit! All these kids are growing so rapidly with genuinely arduous experiences and earnestness. I felt so uplifted by this volume.

[REVIEW IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH/ INGLÉS Y ESPAÑOL]
{ESPAÑOL}
Este tomo sigue siendo introductorio, conocemos algo más del mundo donde se encuentra Iruma y tenemos la introducción de otros personajes aliados importantes para la trama.
Iruma va aprendiendo que puede hacer cosas para sí mismo. Él no tenía ninguna clase de sueños, ya que estaba acostumbrado a poner las necesidades de los demás sobre las propias, pero ahora está tratando de descubrir, poco a poco, que el también puede tener sueños y ambiciones que cumplir y que no hay nada de malo en ello.

Iruma is learning that he can do things for himself. He didn't have any kind of dreams, as he was used to putting the needs of others over his own, but now he's trying to discover, little by little, that he too can have dreams and ambitions to fulfill and that there's nothing wrong with that.

Volume 2 did not disappoint, and I’m really enjoying all of the characters! Personal favorite now includes the student council president whose goal is to prove that Iruma is human…..by having him translate manga that she can’t read and secretly loves in the form of “forbidden tomes”. I can’t wait to see how Iruma’s journey continues from here.

I'm so excited I got to re-read this with a physical copy! .·°՞(≧ᴗ≦)՞°·.
While this volume definitely still feels like the beginning of the series- I forgot how silly, cute, and heartwarming I had originally found this series to be. And I don't remember the illustrations being so impressive! The physical copy is totally worth it to see all the details alone.

It's next part of story of Iruma. This part is very good and funny too. In it we can meet Iruma and his friends. This part is about friendship and war between friends and classmate friends. It's very good manga.

The reason I carried on was to continue the storyline and though I’m glad I did. I won’t continue the series. The read of the first book was part of a genre challenge, not something I need to continue with.

5/5 stars!
Things I love:
• Amerie's reactions to her "forbidden book/s" will always be funny to me. Though, I don't ship her with Iruma.
• Sabro and Clara's sibling-like relationship and interactions
• Azz' off predictions about what's going on inside Iruma's head

Pretty funny honestly. I love the little plot point of the mc and student council president like helping each other. Can't wait to read vol 3
(Once again my lovely teacher letting me borrow her manga)

I can easily see this eventually going in a very straightforward shonen-manga direction, but at least so far it's funny, cute and inventive enough to keep my attention. Ameri is a fun addition with her collection of "forbidden tomes" (shoujo manga).
December 5, 2024
Amery my beloved. I like how she is strong and passionate about her goals and at the same time has such a maiden heart. She is so precious to me.
I loved seeing more of opera and iruma interactions.

Toujours aussi fun. Un manga que l'on consomme comme un délicieux petit bonbon. Voir Iruma commencer à évoluer et vouloir des choses pour lui-même réchauffe le cœur.
