Something I love about Marimashita! Iruma-kun is that the students are actually very rarely in genuine danger. The teachers are always observing and will step in if it becomes something the kids can’t handle. They try to encourage the kids to try to figure things out on their own, but they’re always there as a safety net.
-best boy, very blue hair, low-key genderfluid, has crossdressed to perform as an idol multiple times (and looked both adorable and awesome at it, check last few pages of chapter 194/all of 195)
-he's a firefighter (with a mecha) and his boyfriend is an arsonist (with a mecha) 💙. he's so stupid i love him so much (pleeeease watch promare it has mechas and fire and gay people)
Kalego: I've only said "I love you" to three people in my life. My mom, my dad, and Balam when I was about to die during the war, one of which I highly regret.
Robin: Which one?
Kalego: Balam. I survived the war so now I look like an idiot.
Haaah true, he's such a dad. soon he too will start nagging iruma about his eating habits (´∀`)
And in the first picture he's carrying him and walking, probably taking him home! like sir that is not something you do to anyone. He's a dad and he doesn't even know it
He will protect Iruma as much than before, because Iruma is his student and it change nothing.
It's not because he cares for the boy. No. No. XD
I also love how he ask Balam while also asking him to not answer. firstly because he doesn't need a confirmation. He know enough Balam to know just by looking at him. And secondly, he want to keep a neutral role (or it's what he want everyone, especially himself, to know) (he's already Iruma's dad)
But it still change nothing for Kalego, he will protect Iruma from anyone who would try to hurt him, even if it mean fight his own brother.
He's even not angry to know that Iruma is a human and to know that his best friend lied to him about it.
One of the main reasons why I love Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is that Nishi really gets mental health right
Chapter 319 is a marvellous example of that - and of masterful storytelling through drawings
You can see the exact moment when Kalego's depressive episode evil cycle ends, when he slicks his hair back.
I mean, the bangs suited Kalego, but that feeling of "oh, okay, I'm myself again now" is one of the best things ever - so good for him ♡
Also, the posture! From here:
To here:
His back is again arched and straight, with that spiteful but oh-so-lovely look
And of course, Balam understands this perfectly - their relationship is another gem from this manga and I would see them so well together!!!
[ID by @princess-of-purple-prose: Mairimashita! Iruma-kun fanart of Kalego. The first piece is a full-body of him as a student, scowling darkly downwards with energy sparking at his palm. The second shows bust portraits of him, glaring to the side as an adult and sweating with an angry grimace as a kid. End ID]
