As we wrap up 2023, many folks who love anime are buzzing about the end of "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun" Season 3. This show has won hearts around the world for its mix of funny moments, drama, and how characters grow. Now, we're all wondering: will there be a Season 4?
Let's talk about what this show is about first. It follows the adventures of Iruma Suzuki, a 14-year-old with really bad luck. One day, his parents sell him to a demon named Sullivan. But instead of becoming demon chow, Iruma becomes part of Sullivan's family and goes to the best demon school, Bablys. There's just one tricky thing: Iruma has to pretend he's a demon too. As he goes through life in the demon world, Iruma learns it's not as scary as he thought. He makes new friends and even has a shot at becoming the next Demon King.
Now, Season 3 of the show sticks pretty closely to the manga it's based on. The last episode of Season 3 lines up with chapter 146 in volume 17 of the manga. That brings the Post-Harvest Festival Arc to an end. So, what's next? Well, it's likely the "Soi Purson Arc." This part of the story focuses on a mysterious 13th student in the Abnormal Class. The big question is how to get this secret student to join in on the upcoming Music Festival. A teaser from fans says: "While they're getting ready for the Music Festival, the Abnormal Class finds out there's a hidden 13th student. But he's really shy, so can they convince him to join in?"
The manga, the source material for the anime, is still doing really well. In Japan, it's got 31 volumes out. With all that content to work with, there could easily be six seasons of "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun."
But here's the thing: Season 3 didn't flat out say there's a Season 4 coming. It dropped some hints, though. Plus, the show's super popular, and people love it both in Japan and around the world. It's got great ratings on sites like MyAnimeList, Anilist, Anime-Planet, and IMDB. So, it makes sense for the creators to keep going. If they stick to the same schedule, we might see "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Season 4" in April 2024.
In short, while we don't have official word on Season 4 just yet, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful. The manga's story, past release patterns, and the show's huge fanbase all point toward more adventures with Iruma and his demon pals. It might take a bit of patience, but for fans, the return to the demon school will be well worth the wait.
