barely recovering from the end of its fourth season and the surprises for the
underworld have only just begun. During the special event "DEVIL'S PARTY!
2", the Mairimashita franchise! Iruma-kun (Welcome to Demon
School! Iruma-kun) dropped the definitive bombshell through a promotional
video: the charismatic human student will have his first animated film,
which will hit theaters with a completely unpublished plot.
The
announcement of the feature film also served to warm up the engines towards the
celebration of the tenth anniversary of the original manga, which will be
celebrated next year. Although the specific details of the plot are kept under
lock and key, the production confirmed that it will not be a recap, but a
totally original adventure created for the big screen.
Voice actor
Ayumu Murase, who plays the beloved Iruma Suzuki, shared his excitement
at the project noting that the plot will unfold in a way that will leave
everyone wondering what happens next, promising to do his best during the recording
sessions. For her part, the author of the original work, Osamu Nishi,
commented with a laugh that her entourage forbade her to reveal any details for
the moment, but assured that the team is working hard to deliver an
unforgettable work.
This important
film project comes just after the conclusion of the fourth season, which aired
its 24th episode last Saturday after two continuous blocks of broadcast since
its premiere in April. After the journey started since the first installment in
October 2019, the three subsequent installments and this new film, the
adaptation continues to prove to be one of the most beloved fantasy comedies by
the audience.

hilarious messes.
