Iruma-kun Mafia Spin-Off Anime Sets January 4, 2027 Premiere Date

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun: IruMafia Edition has confirmed its Japanese television premiere for January 4, 2027.

The anime, adapted from the official mafia-themed spin-off manga, is scheduled to air every Monday from 11:00 PM to 11:25 PM JST on NHK General. The series will consist of 12 episodes.

The October 27 announcement also introduced new main and character visuals, showing familiar faces from the Iruma-kun franchise in an alternate setting.

Unlike the original series, which follows Iruma Suzuki's adventures at a school in the demon world, IruMafia Edition imagines him growing up in a dangerous urban environment.

Iruma's life changes after he helps an injured elderly man who turns out to be Sullivan, the head of a powerful mafia organization. Sullivan takes him in as his grandson, placing the kind-hearted teenager in an unfamiliar world of criminal families and internal rivalries.

The spin-off manga is illustrated by hiroja from an original concept by Osamu Nishi, creator of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.

It began serialization in Bessatsu Shonen Champion in 2023 before moving to Weekly Shonen Champion.

The new anime brings an alternative interpretation of the franchise's characters to television, with a more dramatic setting while retaining Iruma's compassionate personality.

The January premiere date gives fans a confirmed starting point for the 2027 winter anime season. International streaming arrangements were not confirmed in the announcements reviewed.
