Why I'm suggested it: I read the scanlated manga and really enjoyed the story, and it's extremely similar to Walking My Second Path (which I also really love and I'm disappointed it hasn't been updated by the author recently). This story seems very similar to Second Path, with a cross-dressing heroine and a rather farcical comedy romance story. In this book, the heroine is a commoner cross-dressing as a nobleman, but like Second Path it has a cast of humorous secondary characters and a strong romance thread. I like that the story doesn't seem to take itself seriously. It does have a lot of volumes, but there are distinct arcs that are clearly indicated in the novel titles, so if the series doesn't sell well you could probably cut it off at the end of an arc. -
I really liked the manga so, yes would love to see this translated :)

Picked up the manga because I read a comment saying it has similar vibes as Marielle Clarac, which I like. Well, that's not wrong. It has similar "comedy where genki girl gets roped into court intrigue & international politics / ML is serious knight which you should fear when he smiles" building blocks.
The manga's first arc is great, but afterwards it feels like cramming too many things into a short space, and the ending feels inconclusive, such that I suspected the manga got cancelled and was adapted from a novel --- and I was right.
Anyway, would be interested if the novel got licensed because the story is fun and with the right amount of court intrigue for my tastes. Would love more exposition on the side characters (like the paranornal princess & the cat-loving vice captain) and a conclusion of the main romance.

The manga only adapted about 10% of the novel. It got an interesting plot and politic later on while the manga only foreshadows what will happen in the future.
Bought the raw JP because I loved it, but I would love to read it in English.
