From one queer to another, happy pride month! To celebrate, here's some canonically queer characters in Mairuma ( ´∀`)
Gender Non-Conforming
Opera!
Canonically Cassgender, they dress rather androgynously and get referred to with gender neutral terms by others.
I love how Babyls students are allowed to mix the gendered uniforms too!
Beem R. Judain!
Canonically Non-Binary, they dress androgynously and mix the gendered uniforms too ^^ Once again, they get referred to using gender neutral terms.
Honestly wish we'd see more of them, they're a really interesting character
Sexuality
Eiko!
Canonically bi/pan, shown having a crush on both Iruma and Ameri. Personally, I'd like to beleive she is more so pan rather than bi, since she only has crushes on them because they've both saved her on separate occasions :3
Shes so cute, I wish Nishi didnt completely forget about her after harvest festival arc...
Gyari!
Canonically polyamorous and either lesbian or somewhere under the bi umbrella, has a whole harem of demons and literally proposed to Kuromu several times.
Gyari's a really interesting character and I wish we'd see more of her too
Poroちゃん!
Canonically gay for Delkira 🤔🤔
I love Poro, his eccentric personality is so fun
Honorable mentions
Kalego wearing the male top and female bottom, another example of mixing the gendered uniforms.
Iruma, Lied and Azz cross-dressing!
I find it rather intriguing that Nishi-先生 made it so that, canonically, the netherworld doesn't care for gender roles or, what we would call, gender norms in their society. Demons dont bat an eye at queer people and relationships.
You know its bad when a world full of demons, who eat humans, are more accepting and open minded than humans.
Anyways, to those who are out and those who aren't. To those who know what they are, and those who are still figuring it out. To those who are proud of who they are and those who might still be hiding.
Ooc: Another addition to this that isn't representation per se but that I personally really like:
Demons in Mairuma do have an additional sex indicator that humans lack; their tails. As a general rule, female demons have little hearts at the end of their tails and male ones have a sharper sorta arrowhead shape.
Lied has his tail out on display at all times, even while crossdressing as Lindy. In the evidol arc, he participates in an event called tail-wrestling. This event literally FOCUSES ON THE TAIL. So this cute new evidol is basically out here, on live tv, in front of a huge crowd waving a great big giant flag that says "TRANS" and no one bats an eye. Not one comment from the audience, the commentators, the other contestants - Nothing! Lindy reads as trans and people do. not. care. She even gets the cool guy evidols number in the end. How cool is that?!
Wait I love this take :0, theres also the fact that its common for demons to hide their tails, plus some dont have the gendered tails [E.g Opera has a cat tail that has neither gendered pointed ends]

Been thinking about how inheriting Bloodline abilities work. We've been shown how demons can reproduce asexually, so obviously their offspring would have their Bloodline ability.
But what about demons who find a partner? When you marry into another clan, do you get their Bloodline ability, retain your own or get to choose? Because we've been shown that both of Soi's parents have detection warding, even though, for obvious reasons, they do not have an incestuous relationship.
Can one have parents with different Bloodline abilities? Does the child get automatically assigned one before theyre even born or do they get to choose once theyre older.
Additionally, how do 'advanced' versions of a bloodline ability work, does one acquire that through training or are you born with it and simply have to unlock it through improving your magic?
This is an interesting topic that id like to see Nishi先生 talk about (*´-`)
Talked about how RTO demons are written, now I wanna say how Poro is basically the epitome of what we are told modern demons are like.
Sociable, sure, but selfish and unapologetic about doing whatever it takes to achieve their desires.
Like how he was willing to drop everything and join Baal the moment he heard it would bring Delkira back.
You could say its evil of him to join the antagonists when he'd just been having so much fun watching the misfits perform, but is that not in a demon's nature?
We've grown too accustomed to demons being somewhat kind, because the main cast that gravitates around Iruma is influenced by him. But we've also gotten too used to it being black and white, with whos the 'bad' guys and the 'good' guys.
So, Poro, or should I say, Poroちゃん is a nice breath of fresh air to add to the stale dynamics.

First of all, I love evil cycle Clara and im gonna need a chapter where all three of them are in their evil cycle at the same time...
Anyways, I love how nishi先生 wrote the solution to pulling Clara out of her evil cycle (*つ▽`)っ
Its rather ingenious, first she shows how Iruma trying wouldn't work. He'd pull the "We love you no matter what" spiel, and that just fuels evil cycle Clara, to trap them, even more.
She shows how him being kind and understanding, as he always is, just doesnt work in this scenario.
And then she shows how Azz's way does. How his bickering and 'negative' comments on his perception of her are actually the thing that pulls her out.
It provokes Clara, and causes her to question if Azz even truly loves her like he loves Iruma.
If Iruma left, would Azz leave her too? Would she be all alone again? It prompts a question and feeling that ive been wandering about since they declared themselves the Love Trio.
Its an absolutely genius way to address their dynamic as the Love Trio.
She shows how Iruma's tendency to be empathetic and soft does not work here, whilst Azz's tendency to be rough and blunt does.
Its only because of Azz's bickering that Clara asks this question, then Iruma and Azz are able to answer it; showing Evil Cycle Clara that they dont mean to harm Clara by leaving her alone, in turn pushing her to let Clara regain control of her conciousness
Nishi先生's writing never ceases to amaze me, and this arc nearly made me tear up ( T∀T)
Overall, i love how she built up their dynamic overtime, just to pop the cap off the bottle in this volume, allowing her to address the overspilling contents within.
Just thinking how its so interesting that Nishi 先生 chose to write demons who've returned to origins not as war machines, but as master manipulators
They can be, and are, calculating and cold, like we've already seen with Baal and Kiriwo. They've also been shown to still show positive emotions, albeit in more of an obsessively creepy way.
Like Kiriwo being overjoyed at seeing Iruma or Atori being happy when Baal tells him that Shiida did not truly betray them.
Theyre not some poor villains with a sad backstory, they're true antagonists who wish to see the netherworld descend into chaos and to stand above it all
Which is rather unique compared to other villains we usually see depicted in media. Demons that have returned to origin are never going to be redeemed, they know what theyre doing and they enjoy doing it.
I also love how, despite them being villains, they're still characters and thus have some chapters where we just get to see them casually. [ My favourite is that few panels of Poro commenting on how disgusting their "sounds" are :3 ]
Just goes to show how you can write pure evil characters and still have people like them, so people shouldn't be so afraid of writing irredeemable villains ( v^-゜)♪
Being a support main in phighting is lowkey such a pain in the ass
Medkit: Your teammates decide to dive the enemies and stay there, 1v4ing while spamming "i need healing"
And then they yell at you in chat when they die 💔
Or youre being targeted by the enemy Shuri and none of your teammates come to your help, but still continue spamming that they need healing
Vinestaff: Same as Med, youre getting targeted by the enemy Shuri and your teammates are blind to your suffering.
Or they're spamming "I need healing" but they've decided to run away from the ten thousand sprouts you've placed on the ground and your Q is on cooldown
Subspace: You ult, get 4 enemies trapped in it. And your teammates are either off frolicking in the field or focusing on the enemy tank whose health bar is still at full
Boombox: No comment. He can be played as a melee/diver, so he relies less on his teammates in that sense
Coil: I dont play coil out of fear of being absolutely demolished if I even attempted to try him out !Σ(×_×;)!
Conclusion: Can you truly, as a support, turn the tides of the battle when all your teammates are incompetent?
Of course, this isnt an attack, just venting my frustrations lol
Doesn't help that Opens have serious matchmaking issues. Tell me why I, a level 97, am going up against someone who's level 300+
Since Haru is human, that means all his youkai students and friends are going to outlive him. That means they'll all be attending his funeral.
That also means they might meet Haru's descendant. And they'll be reminded of him, like how Haru reminded Acchan of Abe no Seimei.
And they'll be reminded of all the memories they had of Haru, but his descendant wouldn't retain his memories.
So it'll be like staring at a stranger with the face of your old friend.
Because, at the end of the day, Haruaki is just a human. It doesnt matter that he has the power of exorcism, it doesnt change the fact that his lifespan is severely shorter than that of youkai.

I need more Azz-kun and Clara interactions. Their dynamic with Iruma is so interesting, because they both love him in different ways. And they do have moments without Iruma, but its always about Iruma.
And I know its only because of him that they know each other, but I'd love to see their relationship with each other be expanded on as well, without the driving force being Iruma. Arguably, Azz-kun and Clara's relationship with each other is more fascinating than their relationships with Iruma.
Thats because theyre very direct when showing affection to Iruma, both through words and actions. However, it seems that the two have more of a show not tell relationship with each other.
Theyre also known as "Iruma's army" or "Iruma's friends/soulmates", showing that Iruma is centre stage when it comes to the Love Trio's relationship.
Their dialogue, to each other, is more teasing. Eg, Azz calling Clara "Stupid Clara", and them constantly bickering with each other the way close friends would.
Also this°˖➴
They touch each other more subtly, protect each other more silently but theyre still always there for each other, even unprompted by the presence of Iruma.
Also, when they both competed to see who could cook the best food for Iruma-kun, it shows that they push each other to do their best. Albeit, not entirely aware of it.
Still, I think its incredible how Nishi-先生 managed to make them so inherently the 'love trio', and so inherently attached to Iruma but still be able to show that they do in fact exist as soulmates and friends in each other eyes, rather than just 'Iruma's other soulmate and friend'.
I guess what im trying to say is that theyre one of those love triangles - platonic or romantic, however you see it :] - where no one is truly left out or behind, which is extremely impressive.
In conclusion, though Azz and Clara more outwardly show their endearment towards Iruma, I find it interesting how theyre not as outward when it comes to each other. Which is an interesting topic id love to see be touched on (( v^-゜)♪
-
I like to over analyze character's relationships with each other, this is more so just me rambling about it ( ´∀`)/~~
I haven't finished the manga yet so do let me know if there are indeed chapters of or interactions with only the two of them! Im the type of person who loves spoilers (^ー゜)ノ
Been thinking about the teachers using their bloodline magic for funsies (*´-`)
I tend to use the teachers first names rather than their family names, so if you're confused:
°Murmur Tsumuru
- Mood Ring
°Ipos Ichou
- Round-Up
°Orias Oswell
- Lucky Happy/Stars Aligned
°Balam Shichirou
- Buzzer
°Ifrit Djinn Eito
Eat up!
Tsumuru minding his business
Ichou: Round-Up *Snap*
Ichou catches Tsumuru and gives him a kiss
Tsumuru: Again?!
~
I'd imagine Tsumuru is the type to blush heavily from public displays of affection, since he seems awfully aware of how others think about him [Psychology teacher shenanigans ( ´∀` )b]
~
Tsumuru activates mood ring for fun, to see what mood the other teachers are in
Catches a glimpse of pink from the corner of his peripheral vision, turns around to see Ichou staring intently at him
Tsumuru: ...So that's why he keeps staring at me
~
Id also imagine he likes to randomly activate Mood Ring when he wants to analyse others, or just for fun :> [Psychology teacher shenanigans part 2]
~
Oswell thinking about asking Robin on a date
Oswell: Maybe I should activate Lucky Happy..
Oswell walks up to Robin
Oswell: Hey, want to go out on a date with me?
Robin: Sure!!! ( °∇^)]
Cue Oswell about to go to sleep at 4 am the same night, after gaming, and realizing he didnt even activate Lucky Happy when he asked
~
Exactly 12 am on valentines day
Robin: My shots never miss!
Cue cupid arrow flying through the dorm and hitting Oswell dead in the back, knocking him to the floor.
~
Hot take: I lowkey dont like Kalego x Robin (ーー;) The fact that they have a huge gap in their age as well as maturity isnt really appealing to me + Kalego hates his guts lmao. I much prefer Oswell x Robin, considering theyre both newer teachers and seem to be quite close d(⌒ー⌒)!
~
Shichirou and Tsumuru feeling devious during game night, using Buzzer and Mood Ring to win. [Oswell is banned from playing games involving money]
Shichirou: Marbas-Sensei, do you have a red card?
March: ...Im not telling you
Eito: Murmur-sensei, are you using Mood Ring again
Tsumuru: ...maybe
Ichou: Yeah no, this is why we only have game night every so often
Oswell: So, Devio Cart anyone?
They always end up playing video or board games instead ♪(´ε`*)
~
Robin lost again
Robin: Aw man this isnt fair! Can you guys stop using your bloodline abilities :((
Tsumuru: ...none of us have been using our abilities
Robin: :((((
~
Robin probably sucks ass at any game involving keeping a poker face, but he still insists on playing them, even though he ends up losing every single time
~
No one wants to play 2 truths 1 lie with Shichirou, likewise, no one wants to play tag with Ichou either.
