The fall 2019 anime adaptation of the Marimashita! Iruma-kun manga is set with a twenty-three episode run planned. With a premiere date of October 5th, 2019 set in Japan, Crunchyroll previously revealed that they’ll be streaming the series on their service under the title of Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun. The latest update has now come in where while they haven’t formalized the date and time yet, they have revealed that it’ll be open to viewers worldwide outside of Asia.
It’ll be directed by Makoto Morikawa based on the series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. The project is being animated at Bandai Namco Pictures and is slotted for twenty-three episodes.
The Japanese cast now includes:
- Ayumu Murase as Iruma Suzuki
- Ryohei Kimura as Asmodeus Alice
- Ayaka Asai as Valac Clara
- Takuya Sato as Sabnock Saburo
The series comes from creator Osamu Nishi which began in 2017 and has eight volumes out so far. The property has had a slow but steady climb in compiled sales and there’s enough material for a solid cour to help raise its profile in the circulation of the magazine and eventual volumes as well.
Plot Concept: The story focuses on Ikoma, a kind-hearted 14-year-old boy whose parents sell him to demons for their own selfish interests. However, the demon he is sold to has no grandson of his own, so he dotes on Ikoma and sends him to demon school.
