Iruma como idol TOP

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now that the festival has been saved, it’s time for awkward family interaction! Then, Iruma is in dire need of a boxed lunch, plus we get a look at the idol scene in the netherworld, where Iruma might be a mere 5 feet or less from stardom.

Every time I start a volume of this series I am kind of underwhelmed and feel like this isn’t doing much for me, then I end up being quietly won over by its very earnest and very silly charms.

As I’ve said before - Iruma is a large part of why this series maintains such a strong emotional core. He’s no fool, just predisposed to believe the best of people and to work hard to give people a chance no matter what.

Anyway, festival time commences and we get introduced to the ridiculous brood that Clara calls family (those apples don’t fall far from the tree) and Azz’s mortifying mother. And Iruma, Sully, and Opera wreak havoc doing their own family thing. It’s very charming.

After a brief interlude where Iruma once again confirms his love for the demon world, the volume really gets going. Look, the pairing of Azz and Clara has not yet failed to produce results and watching the sparks fly as they try and make lunches for Iruma is probably my favourite section of this volume.

The next section concerns the idol scene in the demon realm and introduces Kuromu, the most popular idol in the realm. Or that might be re-introduces, since it turns out that she’s been lurking in the manga this entire time.

It’s a pretty fun reveal and her generally shy and retiring persona contrasting with the stage presence she has to manifest is a nice wrinkle, as is the way that Iruma accidentally keeps stepping on her fame.

This whole arc is both incredibly silly - Kuromu’s desperate attempts to keep her identity secret have a great reveal - but also get to the heart of her own insecurities and awkward relationship to her family. It’s got a very solid emotional core, like much of the series.

Naturally this also ends up forcing Iruma and company to form a makeshift idol unit during a time of crisis. Which leads to some pretty amusing drag jokes, not least of which is how into female Iruma his thirsty classmates are (without realizing that it’s Iruma, also naturally).

I don’t love doing recap reviews, necessarily, but Iruma is currently firing off with such consistency that it is laudable, yet also doesn’t give me much to point out that I haven’t already. Yeah, I still wish the art was a touch different, but I’ll live.

4 stars - it’s heart is in the right place and it’s pretty darn funny too. Just keep giving more of this and I won’t complain too much.

I wasn't sure the Valac family would be as wonderful without the singing from the anime, but that was a silly fear - they're still the amazing forces of chaos with or without musical numbers. And apropos of nothing, it occurs to me that if Ameri's father's name is Henri, she's probably supposed to be Amelie. Oh well.

Ta część jak na razie zrobiła na mnie najmniejsze wrażenie. Pierwsza połowa, wydawało się, że powiela mocno rzeczy z tomu 4, ale na szczęście druga połowa wynagrodziła te mankamenty.

Pretty okay volume, would be lower if it didn't have the whole part abt the student body president and Iruma( I ship them so hard). Also lowkey in my brain Az is trans bc Alice to az is some trans shit.

[Worm · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I’m not too big on idol plot lines Kuromu is just such a personality- plus all the antics/personalities in general in this volume were just such a pleasure to read
