MARIMASHITA! IRUMA-KUN
However, Sullivan, the demon in question has no ill-will towards our protagonist! Quite the contrary, the only reason he bought a human was that he needed a grandson! Iruma, who is physically incapable of saying "no" to anyone agrees to his request to become this old demon's grandson. Sullivan, of course, wants the best for his grandson and so arranges for Iruma to attend a school. A demon school. Which Iruma will need to attend while hiding his human origins, as humans are not supposed to be in demon world. Iruma sets up to the school with an iron-clad plan to not stand out...
...which falls apart immediately, because Sullivan is none other than the principal of the demon school and has every intention of bragging to the entire shool about his grandson. Things only downhill from there with Iruma accidentally impressing entire school by reciting a dangerous incantation and ending the day by unintentionally suplexing another student. Who is so impressed that he swears eternal loyalty to our protagonist.
Yeah, the not standing out plan might need some reworking.
Marimashita! Iruma-kun is a comedy, but more of the old-school kind. Rather than recent comedies that mostly rely on subversing tropes, Iruma-kun is more of a wacky comedy in the vein of Ranma 1/2 with a colorful quirky cast that keeps bouncing off each other. The series is also extremely wholesome. Even though Iruma keeps getting into dangerous situations that seem extremely unlucky, the end result always ends up positive for him. Iruma quickly gains friends in the new school and ends up enjoying his new life much more than he expected.
The characters are honestly, the biggest stand-out. Iruma seems like a pretty static character at a first glance, but as people start supporting him he quickly starts developing. It's a theme through the series that all characters are more than they seem at a first glance. Even professor Nebarious, who is a local version of professor Snape, ends up being much more interesting character with justified reasons to dislike the main character. Iruma-kun also has some really nice worldbuilding. Even though a lot of elements feel random at first, the more time we spend in the demon world the more coherent it feels. All the weirdness just fits together and creates and entertaining mix that's really interesting to watch.
The first season of Iruma-kun anime is complete and available on Crunchyroll (https://www.crunchyroll.com/welcome-to-demon-school-iruma-kun). You can watch it for free even without an account. The second season had been announced, but the first season with it's 23 episodes is a satisfying watch on it's own. There are no major differences between manga and anime adaptations so if you can more easily get access to manga, or you decided to pick up manga after finishing the anime then there should be no continuity problems.
