He was presumably demon for a good while and at the time of his disappearance - in every flashback he's got the horns and ears and is also 10 feet tall and stuff. Previously human is an interesting idea, though...

Somewhat related to the subject, I like that Iruma kept his painted nails from the music festival. He's blending in!

While we're on the subject of Ali, considering the Legendary Leaf was set up to find the least demonic demon and everyone keeps talking about how Iruma and Dercila are similar, what odds are we putting on Dercila being human/formerly human, now a weird ring spirit?

Isn’t it just an iffy translation of Alucard and Dracula? I assumed vampire.

That makes sense if he's a former human. The closest Goetia name is Decarabia.

This was the previous chapter, but whenever Kirio shows up, I just let out a deep sigh and wish this nerd stops derailing the plot so we could go back to what really matters: When would Iruma and Amelie go on their next date?

i want to cycle around to note that without characters like kirio showing up to cause tension you don't get the full emotional impacts of things like this chapter

All these updates are really nice.

RE: the Delkira conversation. I think he's a demon but one that's well traveled and has obviously been to the human world given things like the cherry blossom surprise in the Harvest Festival.

That's my feeling as well. Kirio is necessary to give an antagonist to Iruma that's on his level. Someone like Baal feels more like an opponent for Sullivan at the end of the day given he's older and more powerful. Kirio however can show up and stir the pot of Iruma's life like he has with taunting Alice and that not only is a part of the story pushing forward the Baal Sub-plot (since Amduscias was also recruited to his side) but yeah, gives us this chapter of bromance. This is also the 2nd time in the story where he's actually appeared to do anything. The previous two times he's just in the background being horny for Iruma.

I do hope Iruma never becomes some sort of Shonen protagonist with his powerups. Sure his powers do improve and they exist in the plot to help his friends, but it feels way more thematically appropriate for a few of the people around him to become a metaphorical power house for bad guy beat downs while Iruma (and Clara) remain the adorable support roles.

Iruma has already done some fairly shonen things and probably will do more in the future, especially since his ring buddy is getting narrative focus again, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. The manga has been one of the better ones I've ever seen about spreading the spotlight around to the side cast quite equitably. You could make a strong argument that Amelie got the most impressive big hero moment of Walter Park, for example.

The author seems very invested in everyone from the Misfits(and Amelie) being really important and useful even if Iruma is the focus.

The raws (or Chinese translations on mangadex if you prefer) answer the first question and the second question is the problem with having a harem.

I'm not sure about the translation's use of the term 'soulmates", since it's a term that you usually see in romance stories. I get the feeling it's supposed to be more like best friends/besties.

But did the author use those characters or did they make a pun either in the read-as way or just with different characters?

(i've seen this kind of "does the author mean they're gay by using this word?" sort of discussion many times, and i have to say the new chapter coming now and doing this is a hilarious coincidental followup)

One thing I really appreciate is that this story doesn't drag out the despair. Clara could have spent a whole chapter being tormented by that one Nerd's trauma illusions during the harvest festival but it got shut down in a couple pages. Amelie could have actually danced with these otherwise upstanding gentlemen but no this dance goes to her future husband.

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
I realize Misfits Scans were rushing to get to this chapter (most likely) and we shouldn't expect this pace to be maintained, but I feel it needs to be said that they are goddamn scanlation heroes and deserve enormous amounts of praise for their work.
