I had my suspicions from the current chapter that the guy FL was with when they were kids was Roxanne all along and they were somehow switched- I had to go through the spoilers to check and yup it's correct! The one FL was with when they were kids was actually the ML. According to the spoilers, someone (? empress) used black magic to switch the appearances of the ML and demios (demios would go crazy and mad bc of the curse given by their goddess for being an illegitimate child etc. and the empress maybe thinking he's her real son tried to protect him idk). Spoilers still lacked information and there's a lot of plot holes here and there as the questions about who is who's true mate and what not but that's the gist of it basically.

I was hoping for more from the final scenes. They could've given us more drama or explanation. Even the romance in the final chapter looks rushed, i wanT TIGHT EMRACES, LONGING KISSES FROM BOTH OF THEM, TEARS, THE TANGIBLE RELIEF AND JOY OF HIM BEING ALIVE AND IN HER ARMS AND THEM BEING TOGETHER WHERE IS THE GUARDIAN EXPLAINING EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT NOW AND SHE'LL FINALLY BE Hppy-
But I'm thankful for this wonderful read, it's been years and this is a good manhwa, I'll miss seeing this couple especially Rouche ╥﹏╥
I feel like this has dragged a bit. I've followed the manga since the start of the first anime years ago. It's trying to cater to the development of most of it's supporting characters and is sort of straying from the main plot points. The arcs from the music festival to now sort of got out of hand with how they managed the story. I wanted it to be focused on discovering the underworld's secrets with how the power struggle is now. I get the author planting bits and pieces of the plot to chapters like with the many ears and it'll all be integral to MC's story but other things like these are sort of unnecessary to the central plot and can just really go without them being there and the manga would still be great. Idk it started really good and now it just kinda downgraded imho. I was content with Iruma's classmates being under the guidance of the other high ranking demons who took them under their wings, they should've stopped with the idea there and carried on with MC's own growth with the ring, opera and his grandfather ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I do agree that the main plot is quite slow. I think the main plot could've been executed in a more thoroughly and even pacing. Although, I think chapters like these do a great job in fleshing out the characters and their dynamics! It's refreshing compared to other stories that shy away from vulnerability and deep emotions and only center on the main plot.
Nishi tends to use the calm before storm, calm after storm method a lot so I'm guessing the next arc will focus on more serious things.
Let's just hope the next arc will be more progressive in terms of plot ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
As i remembered the author did say that they want to make a manga about the student life in demon world rather then the adventure. Like, if Iruma was another kind of similar isekai stuff, this time around he might be on the buffing scale for his strength, however, the author's target is their school life.
I think it kind of slice of life
That makes a lot of sense now then given they want to focus on slice of life, nothing wrong with that, it's still a great story anyway.
