The Context

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (known in Japanese as Mairimashita! Iruma-kun) is a beloved supernatural comedy manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion since March 2017. The story follows Iruma Suzuki, a pathologically good-natured teenager who is sold to a high-ranking demon by his irresponsible parents. Adopted as the demon lord Sullivan's grandson, Iruma is enrolled in the Netherworld demon academy Babyls, where he must keep his human identity a secret from flesh-eating demons while steadily making loyal friends, joining clubs, and rising through the demonic ranks.

The property has spawned three hit TV anime seasons produced by Bandai Namco Pictures (broadcast by Japan's public network NHK), along with a fourth season in production. The transition to a feature-length theatrical film marks a major milestone for the franchise, cementing its status as one of the premier mainstream modern shonen comedies.
