**First time human sent to demon school, subbed**

**Thoughts on the episode**

* Ameri really stunlocked Iruma with the question about what his dream is. Going up a rank is a good start to work with.

* The bit of Clara and Iruma falling asleep instantly and Azz worrying too much to sleep was funny.

* Classroom Lectures sounds like a miserable elective. I wonder how Iruma will manage to stand out in there.

* Gee I wonder what Clara pick- [Course in Seduction](#whatamireading)

* I spot Iruma’s fangirl in the seduction class [](#binoculars)

* Clara 2% sexiness. Yeah that tracks. The thought of sexy Clara is… scary. Pls don’t lewd.

* Oooo we meet Clara’s family. I did not expect a whole ass musical number, but it was catchy. Ayaka Asai voiced every family member too. I knew she had the gremlin to ara ara range from 100GFs, but I respect the commitment to the bit.

* Kalego always at the mercy of whatever Clara is up to.

* The ending scene was cute. Clara is best when she’s just being herself. Never change.

**Rewatcher (First Time Dub) Iruma-kun - Ep8:**

Was hit unexpectedly by Azz breaking the rule of 3s on the sleeping joke. [](#kotohoops) Azz hardly gets any sleep, no wonder he is so Azz.

I like how Clara and Sabnock are just buds now.

That shot of deviously laughing Clara is comment face material.

The narrator's read while introducing the succubus teacher. He really emphasizes those saucy "*sexy~*" and "*you know*...".

[](#azusalaugh)

Once again, Owl guy belongs in horny jail [](#modabuse). Was wondering if his VA did other lechers, and turns out he is voiced by Mark Whitten.

[](#cokemasterrace) [](#kukuku)

Eiko's dragon friend got a 63% sexy score. I'm glad we do not discriminate against those who stray from the typical humanoid look.

Clara got the lowest score ever, yeah, that's true. She is so childish that I can't conceive of her near that realm.

[Clara's shimmy costume](#laughter)

Clara's family songs are always so fun. I'm glad the dub goes through the effort to dub the song, too.

[](#anko)

Dosanko is a freak, and that's why we love her. On the other hand, Owl just has to make it known that he is dreadfully heterosexual. More points down for him.

[](#psh-mongrels)

[Iruma confession:] >!I do not ship Iruma/Clara. I don't really like giving Iruma too many love interests, and Clara is so friend/baby. Iruma/Azz, that can be let in. The only way Clara can is in the Iruma/Azz/Clara trio. (Now, Azz/Clara is my preferred pairing for her).!<

Rewatcher

I'm not sure having a "sexiness" rating for babies is right, or makes sense, but whatever.

First appearance of the Valac family song. Don't let it get stuck in your head. Hoping one day to see the dad. I don't recall if we have in three seasons, but I'm guessing not.

This is one of the episodes that makes Clara best girl for me, and also why I think she'll "win" in the end. I'm sure many think Ameri is somehow better suited, but Clara and Iruma are like two peas in a pod.

**First Timer**

Clara vs Azz goes hard.

Where did Clara get a bulldozer?!

Clara climbing on Sabro's head is going to be a running joke isn't it? I love it.

Succubus lessons. How lewd!

I think I've heard that "woa!" sound effect before.

The gremlin is not for sexiness.

Well I didn't expect a song number.

I that "Oh My Devil" a [JoJo reference?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGy8uv3q03k)

**QOTD**

1) Nothing special yet.

2) Pretty good, I like that she didn't resort to cheating with the sexy succubus perfume.

I wonder why there's no seduction class for males too. Maybe Caim would pick that up without hesitation.


And turns out Raim has a scouter to see how her students progress. Neat. Is that an innate ability of the succubus or something?


But I wonder if that would also work to the opposite sex, maybe she could look on how sexy the male demons are.

**First Year at Demon School, Dubbed**

Did Clara just hiss at Ameri 😭

Az being a gossip girlie sends me.

Az is me when I’m trying it figure out why a character I’m obsessed with acts the way they do.

I guess Clara is now just a backpack or a neck pillow at this point.

…there’s a how-to for becoming a demon king?

Az throwing shade like that, I think he’d do well on Real Housewives.

On the one hand, why can’t men learn how to be sexy? I, for one, welcome men with all the charisma of an incubus. On the other hand, that owl needs to dial it back.

Learn to pose from Wisdom Kaye, Clara, he’s amazing!

I need a Tom Cardy song on “Am I seducing you now?”. This entire situation is right up his alley. He probably has one out there, that lovable Aussie bard.

Clara has such a supportive family 🥹

Oh, there’s a song. And it’s dubbed, damn.

Unholy shit 😯

Are you fucking serious, this really *is* a goddamn Pokémon reference. My crossover lover heart can’t take it 😭 If next episode has a nod to Who’s that Pokémon, I’m going to cry.

**After School Thoughts**

This is the only spoiler I want, how many young ladies or otherwise fall for Iruma over the course of the series?

Clara is painfully relatable this episode. Ugh. I want to crawl under my bed.

I’m very curious what it was like when the chapters and episode dropped revealing an Iruma/Clara potential ship. Fanon ships are one thing. Canon teasing is a whole different story.

I’m just really enjoying Az. I’m still so sad about Billy (**fuck cancer**). I remember those “Ask an Anime Character” panels that were the bomb—I’m not sure if they’re done anymore, but I *loved* those panels!—but I would’ve loved Billy’s Asmodeus to be on a panel.

Rest in peace, Mr Kametz 🕊️

**QotD**

1. Nothing really caught my eye.
2. It was so painfully relatable from my HS days. I did not anticipate secondhand embarrassment 😭

**Rewatcher, Manga Reader, Subbed**

Clara's jealous of Ameri, but she still likes her enough to nickname her.

Iruma is asked what he wants and his brain immediately overheats because it's just not a concept he can understand. *He's* not allowed to want things, after all. God, fuck his parents.

Inside: Important character development. Outside: Wacky shounen battle.

Asmodeus isn't wrong, actually.

Catching that vending machine was pretty impressive.

Azz would be a tough boss fight in Doom.

My poor baby boy. At least he has Ameri here to give him a little push. A promotion isn't particularly profound, but it's a place to start.

Gotta hide the shoujo! Priorities!

Ameri is his role model, it's very cute.

Our first glimpse of the Valac and Asmodeus residences.

You can now see the sakura tree has become a permanent feature of the school.

Sabro working out while Clara sits on him is peak Sabro.

Babyls has some weird courses, man.

"What are you plotting?" "I'm not..." You absolutely are.

All the girls we've seen so far are in this class, apparently. Except Ameri, who of course doesn't need it.

Sigh. Camui, get out of here. Please do not come back into the narrative until we get to see your redeeming qualities, which I promise you do have.

Worth noting - I often see people claim that characters like Elizabetta or even Clara are "succubi". They are not. Succubi and incubi are a specific kind of demon in this story.

Keep trying, Eiko.

[Makubari Dome arc]>!Oh, come on, Kerori, you're deliberately suppressing it.!<

Remember, lewding Clara is objectively worse than pedophilia.

Well, she's trying.

I've got nothing to add to this whole sequence, honestly. Clara is a treasure.

And we return to Chateau Valac, where it is impossible to remain upset for long!

So, the anime tends to aim at a slightly younger audience than the manga, and as a result, we get the occasional musical number. At least it's in character for the Valacs, though.

Clara's a Family Girl.

She's determined! This time she shall not fail!

And Kalego gets hit with a Clara Missile. He's not happy.

And now Clara is Bart Simpson.

Raim-sensei, you really shouldn't be offering that kind of stuff to students. Although at least Clara has the integrity not to use it.

Iruma is a good boy.

And Clara gets some much-needed confidence.

Sukima! Yeah, it turns out the "seduction" class is mostly just teaching basic social skills. And get out of here, Camui.

Manga reader, first time watcher who thought this was scheduled an hour later:

Huh, they really expanded this part with Az and Clara. They're shuffling stuff around too, the bit with Clara and the Succubus class doesn't come until the next volume in the manga. I guess they figured Ameri's introduction was a more immediate segue into Clara's jealousy, plus they're writing for a seasonal structure rather than giving each volume its own mostly-complete story.

> Poor thing. You really *can't* read.

[](#azusalaugh)

Damn, Az. That's cold.

The introduction of Clara's family via musical number is pretty dang Clara.

------

> 1) What do you think of the classes we've seen (or at least heard of) so far? Are there any that you'd like to take?

Demon-Chemistry seems interesting, assuming it's not all poisons and such. Raim's too if she had a more general-charisma unit.

> 2) How funny were Clara's attempts at wooing Iruma?

8 injured Kalegos out of 10!

First timer as of about two months ago.

That really was quite the fight Azz and Clara had out in the corridor while Iruma and Ameri were discussing his potential dreams for the future.

"I'll wait for you to stand by my side, Iruma" Ahh yeah, Ameri.

Not sure what I think about all of Clara's failed attempts at seduction since it honestly makes me feel a bit sad for her, but it also led into the [Iruma-kun anime]>!first!< Clara song and that makes this episode wonderful.

The botany class seems like fun, mostly because I like the instructor demon lady from it.

**Rewatcher, (Print) Manga reader, subbed)**

* Azz doing his best to fend off clara, but even he has to blink
* A sound suggestion from Ameri, with quite a carrot attached
* Clara/Sabnock continues to be a great minor duo, and the tall continue giving goals to the smol
* Girls, be ambitious
* Not you Camui
* Attempts were made...
* Welcome to the Valac family, everyone
* Kalego taking another L wondering why he's even in this episode
* As Iruma and Clara lock in their goals, I wonder what Azz is chasing

1) I'd be there with Iruma taking the lectures probably

2) Cakey/10

Episode 8

The convo about dreams with Ameri is probably my favorite part of this episode. It gives Iruma the idea of ranking up as he figures out what exactly he wants to accomplish in the future! Azz and Clara’s battle in the background is also always hilarious to see! I will say, I love Clara, but I’m not big on her ending up with Iruma romantically! I see both of them and Azz as having more of a sibling relationship than anything else. We also briefly meet most of Clara’s family here, featuring a musical number! I’ve always thought their genetics are insane considering how they almost look identical to each other lmao

QOTD

1. Not big on Raim’s Seduction Class, but I think Suzy’s Gardening Class would actually be (relatively) chill to take. Sure, there’d be weird plants growing, but that’s just how it goes in the Netherworld!

2. I did laugh at those attempts on a first-time watch! Clara’s gremlin energy continues to make for hilarious moments lmfao

### First time watcher, subs

Clara became so jealous towards Ameri (or hwo she calls her Lady Redhair), and decided to do something in order to get Iruma, only for her. Like going for a fight with Azz. Then Sabro goives him one good advice, use charm. But she lacks one thing, and that is charm. Desperately joins to Raim's class, who teaches everyone what means to be horny. What happens in that class: to teach seduction only to girl, because it is a no-boys allowed class. Actually they are infiltrated that.

2% attractiveness, that says a lot about Clara. Trying to understood what is seduction what steps required, but she messing this every single time. Wants to be girlboss but ending up in girlfailure. But her redeeming point is that she is a big sister, and sibling love is what she knows. One big happy family.

The kiss attempt is also deemed for failure. And Kalego is the unfortunate victim. Yeah, Clara's biggest weakness is being immature and childish (the antithesis to horny), because that leads nowhere.

But a good friendly talk with Iruma actually did helped somewhat. A small step indeed. From 2% to 10%, that is quite a development. And in exhcange, it also caused what dream needs to be achieved: a small, little step to progress forward, like rank promotion.

That family song is quite funny though. How cool is that how Clara's siblings share the same VA as her.

> 1) What do you think of the classes we've seen (or at least heard of) so far? Are there any that you'd like to take?

The horny class.

> 2) How funny were Clara's attempts at wooing Iruma?

Really fun.
