Story Focus on Purson Soi's Character
The most interesting thing about the newly released promotional materials is the spotlight on one specific character. Video teaser and key visuals explicitly display Purson Soi.
In the narrative of the story, Purson Soi is known as the 13th classmate of the Abnormal or Misfit Class that have been forgotten or rarely seen.
Purson Soi's appearance in this promotional material suggests that arc future stories will delve deeper into the dynamics of the Abnormal class as a whole.
You might see how Iruma and his friends interact with the invisible characters. This element adds a new layer of mystery and comedy to the already solid interactions between characters.
Plot Expectations for the Upcoming Mairimashita! Iruma-kun
Broadly speaking, the story continues to follow Iruma, a 14-year-old boy who was sold by his parents to the devil, but instead receives affection from his demon grandfather.
In this continuation of the story, Iruma will return to Babyls to face new challenges. The plot will focus on the attempt to rank up or rank-ups which is getting more intense.
You can expect a combination of hilarious school chaos with character development that is wholesome. The franchise's main appeal lies in its cozy, character-based comedy.
This differentiates this series from shonen others that tend to be darker. Viewers can look forward to more student rivalries, Kalego's endless frustration, and the Misfit class' quest for rank promotion.
About Mairimashita! Iruma-kun
To give context to the April 2026 release schedule, we need to look back at the series' airing history. Season 1 premiered in October 2019 with a total of 23 episodes.
The success was followed by Season 2 which aired in April 2021, and then Season 3 which debuted in October 2022.
The gap between the end of Season 3 in 2023 and the release of Season 4 in 2026 marked a long hiatus. This is the first new episode to be produced after such a long time.
The decision to take a longer production time is expected to maintain the quality of animation and storytelling that has been the standard for the series.
For those of you who follow Osamu Nishi's manga in the magazine Weekly Shonen Champion, This adaptation is certainly a long-awaited visualization. We just need to be patient a little more until Spring 2026 arrives.
