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.

They should be caught up with the raws soon, so they will definitely end up slowing to a more sane pace (or just pick up the pace on retranslating the early chapters).

I wonder if they're ever going to bring up how uncannily similar Opera looks to the Azazel family.

Distant cousins, perhaps... but Opera is a kitty, the Azazels are foxes.

Sure, but their hair and eye colour and the shape of their faces look incredibly similar.

NEW CHAPTER


MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE

This is everything I wanted and more. :3:


It's neat how they made a "guys talk about girls" chapter rather wholesome. Lied's imagination aside, a small part of the chapter is everyone complimenting Eliza as pretty and friendly. Meanwhile, most of the chapter is spent on the guys goofing around giving Lied advice or putting Iruma on trial for having a harem.

Also, I don't think it's been mentioned before but it's really surprising how Caim is handled. Yes, he's interested in girls, but he never crosses the line into being a sex pest. He's mostly on the fringes, but his gags are less about creeping on girls and more about getting huffy that the others are going on dates. And while he did write that term paper about sex and seduction, the fact that it's an actual course in Babylus doesn't make it weird. He's not like Mineta from MHA, that's for sure.

The sheer amount of responsibility some of these characters have is refreshing. Alice telling Balam about Kirio and Balam calling Opera about Iruma's birthday. Nice

And congrats to Misfit Scans for powering through this series.

Oh yeah, Sabnock's great. It's amazing how he started as this arrogant musclehead and improved himself and his studies. He's got that Kiryu energy going on where he's too dense to figure out girls like him.

the best part about the character evolution in this comic is how naturally it usually happens. way too many shounen comics can't have a character change at all without doing it in a whole arc with a big dramatic moment of change, which tends to mean most of the side characters never evolve

iruma, meanwhile, the big dramatic moments are more like a character now able to do something because of a change we watched them go through already

The real tragedy about how quickly and effectively Misfits caught up is that now we won't be getting like 4 releases a week anymore.

The author really wants to hammer home that despite Iruma's life being threatened multiple times while in the demon world. It's still a better existence than what he had with his parents.

His life was threatened constantly while he was with his parents, too, it's just that he was in danger of dying due to neglect rather than due to angry demons trying to kill him.

There are lot of things dangerous to Iruma in the demon world, but there are also a lot of people keen to protect him from them. Some of them even know he's human. I think it's fair to say he's safer where he is.

This was an adorable chapter.

Half the characters who show up that seem to be bad end up being giant softies. It's the ones that look nice and unassuming on first introduction that are ones to worry about.

Why did I even doubt this? Gyari basically being the physical embodiment of "One night I forgot to turn my swagger off" is definitely on par for this series but she's still rude as hell.

Kerori needs to defeat and then marry her rival. It's the only way.

Hoping they end up with a Kaguya-sama situation where each one insists on being the 'winner' in the relationship.

Also nice that Gyari can take a moment out of rivalry for autographs.

I can't wait to see what the twist to this contest is because in terms of raw power and experience Team Kuromu is probably far above the competition.

I assume that Gyari is genuinely That Good, and they're going to have to get unorthodox to defeat her/convince her to make peace. She has come across as extremely competent so far (except at talking to Kuromu, of course). Theory: Amelie and Gyari are going to end up bonding over their crushes and their difficulty in expressing them.
