😈 Iruma Enters a Different Kind of Demon World
The upcoming spin-off anime Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun if Episode of Mafia has confirmed its Japanese television premiere date. The series is scheduled to begin airing on January 4, 2027, on NHK General.
Based on the official spin-off manga, the project reimagines the familiar characters in a world shaped by organized crime, loyalty, and family power. A new key visual and production information were revealed on October 27.
The announcement offers fans a different take on the franchise while retaining its central character relationships.
🕴️ A New Role for Iruma
In this alternate story, Iruma is a kind-hearted boy living in the slums. After helping an injured elderly man, he discovers that the stranger is Sullivan, the head of the Babyls mafia family.
Sullivan takes Iruma in as his grandson, and Iruma finds himself moving toward a future as the family's potential next boss.
This premise changes the setting and stakes of the original series. Instead of focusing on Iruma's school life in the demon world, the spin-off places him in a criminal-family environment where trust and responsibility take on a different meaning.
🎨 A Darker Key Visual
The newly revealed key visual presents Iruma in a white suit and hat, surrounded by familiar characters dressed in black suits. The styling gives the spin-off a more serious and dramatic appearance than the main anime.
The contrast between Iruma's gentle personality and his new position within a mafia family is central to the alternate story's appeal.
🎙️ Main Cast and Production Team
The main series' voice cast returns for the spin-off, including:
- Ayumu Murase as Iruma
- Mitsuki Saiga as Opera
- Daisuke Ono as Kalego
- Ryohei Kimura as Asmodeus Alice
- Ayaka Asai as Clara

The anime is scheduled to air on NHK General every Monday from 11:00 p.m. to 11:25 p.m. Japan Standard Time, starting January 4, 2027. The announced run consists of 12 episodes.
International streaming availability has not been confirmed in the cited announcement.
🔥 Why Fans Should Watch for the Spin-Off
The mafia setting gives Iruma-kun fans a chance to see familiar characters in new roles and explore a more dramatic alternate world. Returning voice actors also help preserve the personalities that audiences recognize from the original series.
With a confirmed date, key visual, and production team, the spin-off is shaping up to be a notable addition to the franchise in early 2027.
