Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun

Iruma Suzuki has always been eager to please, even at the cost of his well-being. Worst yet, he’s the son of two selfish parents who end up selling him to a demon. Thanks to their totally irresponsible actions, Iruma has found himself living in the Netherworld, where he must live and attend school as the grandson of an older demon. Luckily, his new, doting grandfather is there to help, but Iruma will have to figure out how to blend in with his demonic classmates or risk getting eaten. All he needs to do is subjugate rival classmates, summon familiars, and do other typical demon things while never revealing that he’s human… Piece of cake, right?

Epimondas Epimondas says...

Demon School like Hayate both features irresponsible inept uncaring parents who essentially abandon their child over money problems.  Both characters surprised everyone with hidden unexpected abilities such as combat training.  Both leads are sucked into at least one cross dressing incident and actually end up with fans who think they look cute.  Iruma is far luckier as he ends up with a loving caretaker as opposed to Hayate who ends up in a sick twisted abusive one.  Both have personalities that can face almost any challenge or change in life.
