Zagan is feared as an evil mage, he is awkward and has a sharp tongue, and once again had to put down thieves that encroached on his territory when he was researching that morning. In a dark auction, he finds a white slave elf, Nephie, who holds a peerless beauty. Falling in love with her at first sight, he uses his fortune to buy her, but as poor as he is socially, he doesn’t understand how to connect with her. Thus, the clumsy cohabitation of the mage that can’t convey his love, and the slave that pines for her master but doesn’t understand how to bring it up, begins.
Why
Adorable story with good romance with great plot.
-
I seriously feel this will be one of the titles that is announced at AX this year
-
Let's hope so. I saw the manga came out recently and I took a quick peek at the LN translation (which is up to the end of volume 2). Seems interesting.
-
Saw this recommended here recently and read it . Very cute.
-
The synopsis reminds me of "The Ancient Magus' Bride" - abut as that has no LN counterpart, I'll up vote this one
-
@fozzedout
Seven Seas licensed "The Ancient Magus' Bride" novels BTW -
@bloodygaikotsu the manga, yes, but no LN - I use TTS to listen to LN when travelling in my car

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/05/16/exclusive-seven-seas-licenses-two-the-ancient-magus-bride-novels^_^ awesome, thanks for the news - I didn't know about this!
-
Good choice. One of my favorite light novels at the moment. I love this series so much. I even badgered Sam on CuriousCat several months ago to get it and he didn’t shoot it down!
-
Throwing in my support for this one to get licensed. Fluffy romance series are always a super plus for me. The first volume is cute as fuck and I definitely want more.
-
It'd be great to see this licensed. I do wonder how the title would end up being changed though if they did and decided to get rid of the 'slave' like they did for how not to summon.
Incidentally, the title's
I, **a** Demon Lord... -
Having read a certain hillock of fowl's translations of the first two volumes, it's quite a good series. Very fluffy, but at the same time, has some serious bits.
-
So kinda similar to How NOT to Summon with a way past just socially awkward MC but normal romance instead of harem? I like the sound of it but trying to hold off on upvoting everything.
-
@smashman42 It is similar to Demon Lord in how everyone thinks the MC is an evil villain, but the reader can hear his insecure and shy thoughts. It’s more similar to Ancient Magus’ Bride in how he bought the girl at a slave auction on impulse because he fell in love at first sight.
-
It's a fluffy and fun novel I'd love to throw my money at. Either it is already licensed and not announced yet or all possible publishers just hate making money.
-
To be fair, even Zagan thinks that he's a villain, and he's killed lots of people in the past without any hesitation. It's really his meeting of Nephie that changes that, because he begins weighing every action he takes against "What would Nephie think if I did this?"
He was never really evil, though, just... chaotic neutral, I suppose.
-
fluffy romance?? Count me in.
-
Is this title getting that many votes because its a fluffy romance?!
Such a clear sign that our current real world is lacking in PURE romance! -
Oh wow, I didn’t realize this had so many votes! Praise be! This is my most wanted LN. Sam you can do it!
Also it’s not isekai which is really nice.
Here’s an unofficial fan edit of the cover:
