2. out of Irisu's own mouth comes conclusive evidence that she is willing to manipulate people to achieve the end result she desires, and has developed her own precise methods to deceive her victims, lulling them into a false sense of pride and self-importance. Let's hope this puts a definitive end to the debate of whether or not she was manipulating Houtarou during the last arc.
Irisu did more to help out Eru with her anthology-selling problem than anybody else that Eru approached about it (and Eru had approached a lot of people about it). Irisu even gave Eru totally free advice on how best to approach others when in need of assistance. Now, one can disagree with the advice that Irisu gave Eru, but Irisu herself no doubt thinks that it's good advice.

Irisu didn't have to do any of this. In fact, most of the people that Eru approached basically blew her off completely. Irisu could have easily done the same with no negative repercussions whatsoever.

Eru felt thankful to Irisu, and rightfully so. Irisu deserves more credit than what she's getting on this thread, imo.
