Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 422 - Again Someday

[TheTopAdventure]

they really picked up the pace lately and that's awesome

I'm so hyped for next 100 chapters

I feel like Mairimashita will become the next ''One Piece'' in terms of how long the story is getting. Not that I am complaining though, I love the new characters introductions, new Arcs, new fights, new discoveries. To me, Mairimashita could have more 200 chapters and I wouldn't complain, I love this manga with passion

i want to see the conversation between Ali and Sullivan, they might know each other

Just maaaaaybe 😂

The main story plot is about to advance. I'm excited for the next arc.

Well, everything has somehow turned out to relate to the main plot.
He has to become worthy to be king, not just gain the title.

Everything has worked to establish him as becoming a strong, capable leader with loyal followers.

I pull from Biblical sources now, because there is a lot of Jewish influence in this series*:

Iruma is basically the Messiah. The one born to be king, but not knowing. Has a prophecy and all.

If we look at the stories of the Israelite kings (or more realistic stories), fast rises to power often lead to fast falls from grace.

Saul was made king, but didn't have the qualities to maintain his reign, and ended up losing the mandate of heaven, and falling apart in a very short time.

David was then given the mandate, but had to work his way up from a musician and soldier, building up followers (and partners. Azz better not go the way of Jonathan or I'm going to Japan to give her a piece of my mind!) and achievements. Only then was he able to establish an empire.

Every arc that wasn't a few chapters on a side character furthers his growth as a person and leader.
Even the Keroli arc established that he likes dressing like that. Someday he'll be outed as Irumi, and there will be worries about him losing face, but it'll turn out to bolster his popularity.
TV appearances and all.

*Nishi is a convert, or somehow still in the process despite being really knowledgeable and into it. You don't find out that much real Judaism, which is the stuff I see here. Rituals, items, themes. Beliefs are far from the
If you know, you know. Kiddush cups, bar mitzvah, Many-Ears (that's a very blatant and TBH kinda cringe arc. Free Palestine. At least they actually went to an empty place, and didn't colonise in the manga), the villains are fascists with armbands... I could go on for hours. I have in the past.

They're shown as colored in quite often before his transformation, even back in the mid-100s chapters up to right before in c421, so I don't think the transformation has anything to do with that. Could be something with him living in the demon world is causing him to mutate into a full demon, and the fingernails are just a by-product of that process. All the other demons have colored in fingernails, and Iruma originally doesn't like you said. He could also just be painting them to blend in better since everyone else has them.

He's been painting them since the music contest arc.

I don't even want it to end.

I don't think it could last past him being the best king ever, but I would love a spin-off with any kids he has with whoever making names for themselves.

I'm bit disappointed that the transformation didn't have any lasting consequence :/
no pointy ear or teeth, no black claw, no demon shaped pupil...

422 chapters later and we're apparently only at the beginning lmao .

This was a great arc. One of the best.

I forgot which chapter, but one of the Misfits introduced him to manicuring his nails black and he's been doing it ever since. I think it was Jazz since he also has black nails.

Edit: I checked online, it was mentioned in 160.5.
