Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 460 - A Message, Filled With Feelings

[JadalierRune]

Lost my shit at Purson not only immediately jumping to the conclusion that Iruma rizzed the wrong person, but also acting like it was inevitable.

… I mean, is it a lie?

Sabnock listing his uncle among the connections, I see pain incoming and a major role in the story for him.

He would have if baal didn't take credit for his save back them

 

[knight_evangel]

I don't think it can be understated just how big it is that Sabro hasn't had his mind changed upon finding out Iruma is a human.

Despite Iruma having been his most direct rival for the seat of the Future Demon King, something that many demons would be disgusted at the idea of a non-demon even being close to it... Sabro still sees Iruma as the same one who taught him to be more humble, to encourage his own pursuits, who helped his sister break out of her shell and embrace something she felt she had to put away.

Even his first instinct, to ask his Uncle Baal who is a direct member of the 13 Crowns, shows that he isn't willing to hold anything he can do back. By the time Sabro finds out that Baal is the leader of the Six Fingers, and having manipulated everybody... it'll either be tears, or pure unadulterated rage.

My shounen reader instincts tell me Sabnock will have the chance to piss Baal off equally sometime in the near future, and it won't be pretty, at all. I just hope it isn't self-destructive, there are levels between the two of them after all.

I wanna see the Hero clan reaction.

 

[emMeBi86]

Maybe it's just me but between their reaction (even if "expected"), the building up where everyone have their own spotlight, Purson's speech (he knows exactly the situation Iruma is in, in his own way) and at the end the spread with the whole class is brainstorming together...I think this is the best chapter of the whole manga, so far.
Or at least top three easily

I started sobbing when Clara started to cry. God they're all such good kids.

Nakama forever.🤝

All we needed was for Kerori to quote the Bard, "We few, we happy few, we band of Misfits;
For they to-day that sheds their blood with me
Shall be a Misfit; be they ne’er so vile,"

 

[Silfir]

For Beelzebub's sake, get out of the way of the camera so I can see the whole chessboard? Please?

So far as I can tell, assuming there are no pieces in the obscured portion of the board, and it's Black to move as dialogue suggests, the position is roughly equal, but extremely dynamic. Right now, Kalego might be pondering if he should take the piece on a5 with the rook or with the knight. The knight is currently under attack, so it would seem like the obvious choice, but Qa4+ is such a nasty blow to the Black position that taking with the rook (thereby preventing the queen from showing up on a4, lest it be taken) might be the better choice in practical terms.

It's not at all common for a chess position shown in manga to not just be legal, but interesting, which is why I wish I could see the whole board... Because if the portion of the board that's being obscured contains extra white pawns or even just a rook on a1, Kalego is completely boned unless his remaining knight and bishop are out there causing unexpected tactical mayhem in White's territory.

There's still one thing the author seems to have overlooked, at minimum, though. Where are all the captured pieces? Kalego should have captured at least some of White's pieces at some point, even if it's just the pawns on the kingside. Why did Mephisto scoop up all of the captured pieces for himself? Who does that?

 

[bookwurm]

Kalego potentially negotiating with Mephy. For the first time ever, the eponymous Faustian bargain might actually be a Good Thing.

 

[JumboWheat01]

"Iruma's a human."
"That's neat. So, what did he do to get arrested?"

Never stop being adorable, Misfits.

 

[kahoshi]

Civil War incoming?

I think some degree of this became inevitable as soon as Baal was recommended as demon king.

 

[NotSomeone]

Thank GOD they're not dumb enough to just have a go at it, but instead are planning and taking notice of Iruma's gigantic influence and connections within the netherrealm (and their own connections).
Yeah, we're 100% going for a civil war-esque story arc.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[shoker]

Sabro would get his Father before he'd get Baal, and we know how the dad feels about the uncle lol.

 

[SardonicJester]

I feel as if his secret has been revealed too soon, kicking off a global mess.

 

[midzuno]

Well, if you really think about it, it's like your friend came out to you and said "actually, John is a Unicorn"

 

[Jstar338]

Finally, Eggie-sensei is doing something!

Didn’t expect him to go straight to Mephisto though.

I'm not surprised. Obviously Sullivan is involved, and the next strongest he could reach without causing major unrest (3 heroes would cause major unrest) is Mephisto. He knows Mephisto backs Iruma fully

 

[skimer]

Where's Amelie?

 

[tsukari741]

It was told directly and they accepted it easily because we knew they'd be fine with it. But it was Clara crying wanting Iruma to hear it that made the reveal emotional rather than the actual reveal itself. I love that for this reveal.
