Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 371 - A Breather

[VF89]

Hair down Opera got me acting up.

Calm down, bro...

Opera isn't nonbinary - they haven't said they're "neither" nor anything of the sort, they said "guess"/"what do you think". They're whatever the fuck they want to be and don't care how others address them.

Nonbinary doesn't mean agender. Gender fliud people, what I think you are attesting to, are also nonbinay. NB just means not beholden to 2 options strictly. GF could even include agender if the mood strikes.

Edit: I was in bed reading to fall asleep and not in a place to be entirely cogent, but I feel my point still stands. We have no confirmation as to how Opera identifies from their own words, nor was I pushing anything onto Opera. My comment was purely to say that what the other person said was naive with their understanding of nonbinary.

i love how galaxy background always represents the taste of the carrot

 

[Yisrine]

Head empty, no thoughts

 

[Frostisss]

And with the many ears hat on, Opera has 4 sets of ears…

wait is opera half many ear?

 

[Yuu3]

Aww, baby nervous about his test result. Finally something relatable ahaha

Ugh

I do love the iyashikei chapters this mangaka puts in between the ones that crush you like an empty soda can.

Remember how silly it was at the start?
I was laughing for hours.

 

[Nuggz]

Huh, so Opera IS a dude. Mystery solved

 

[FlowerSlaughter]

Probably gonna have a review where they'll (As in Iruma n squad, but I bet Mephisto will help there, too) summarize the benefit for the area and the netherworld, as well as Iruma's Input/role in it, for the benefit of other crowns or officials which are responsible for these higher rank-ups.

 

[JazzSparks]

Oh my God, I for a second did not recognize that as Opera until I remembered that Opera’s hair is usually a braid.

also, it looks like Iruma wanted a glass of warm milk, but read the sign that said “no one touch it except for opera” and that is very funny

 

[KaitoAlkan]

Why are we bonking this guy? Opera literally has no confirmed gender for years now.

Exactly because of that.

 

[SolarDemonLord]

If this child qualifies as a talented strategist, I know quite a few geniuses.


Is the author going to try and convince us that Iruma went through something traumatic because of scala?

???

Bro, Iruma's entire background with his parents and then being sold to a Demon is his traumatic backstory from Chapter 1.

Idk if anyone noticed this but I think the end of this chapter is a reference to chapter 140 where iruma is looking to the sky and opera appears behind him saying "You're going to get a cold standing here" it could be a coencident but if not, it's a nice callback

 

[Sailor47]

Opera and Iruma heart to heart convo, this next chapter about to be generational 🙏🙏🙏

A different way of phrasing it: If Opera was a man, they would have said so. If they were a woman, same thing. They did not do either. That means they aren't one of the two "binary" options, so they're non-binary. That doesn't tell us if they're agender, bigender, genderfluid or some kind of apathetic. It might indicate that they have no problems being referred to/thought of as a man or as a woman, but binary folks (cis and trans both) generally tend to prefer you perceive them correctly.

 

[fooooool]

ah some nice warm fresh milk... I don't remember if the butler was a male or female. I feel like they are female.

Nishi has confirmed that Opera has no gender. (the closet answer you'll get is cat)

Why are we bonking this guy? Opera literally has no confirmed gender for years now.

Because there is a weirdly large and/or vocal number of far-right people in the manga & anime fandom. ESPECIALLY transphobic.
Their character description at the end of a chapter literally lists them as nonbinary.
Says it. Spelled out. Commonly-accepted term.

There were death threats made against the localisation team for Guilty Gear Strive because Bridget came out as trans.
You can turn on Japanese audio. She says it there, too.
People pointed that out. “NO!”
Developer confirmed it. “NO!”
Developer put out an official statement explaining everything, including listing her pronouns. “NO!”

This series is full of rampant, outstanding queerness and people still be like “TRANS PEOPLE? NO!”
People get annoyed if I mention the fact that Kalego wore a skirt (whole bespoke, intentionally mixed-gender outfit) and had styled bangs when he was in school. This is important to the overarching plot. It’s why he and Opera(-senpai) met. They got into serious combat because neither of them wanted to change hairstyle or wear single-gender clothing. It’s why he cannot refuse anything they say. That and they’re more powerful than him.

We don’t even know why he did it, because it doesn’t matter. He stopped at some point. Why? It doesn’t matter. Not yet, anyway.

I’m just curious if he or Opera is going to carry the kids. I hope we don’t find out, because it’s more fun that way.
We do know that he’s going to be frazzled and overprotective. Gonna be some catesque child that kicked the ass of their Cerberus.

“Agender” is not on the binary. 🤦‍♀️
Definition of nonbinary. Ah-durr.

Also, Opera’s official character description lists them as nonbinary. Uses the term used in Japan as an umbrella.
I think the author’s word is just as good as Opera’s.
Just maybe the author knows more than you.
