If Seven Seas wont bite, it'd be nice to see JNC pick this up. This novel's development is like a snowball rolling down a big hill. It just gets better as it picks up steam.

It's one of those cases where I am interested in the manga but would rather read the LN since manga always has less detail.
So yeah, another interested person here. -
It seems that the existing TL has, like some others that I knew, succumbed to either laziness, new interests, tl burnout, RL issues and/or DMCA.
The announced xmas release is vaporware, and a chapter every 3 months or more is too long imo, unless the tl is actually releasing current issue near simultaneously, then it is acceptable. Remember the original TLs of HS DxD, Alderamin, Vanadis, Mahouka? (mahouka gets a pass due to sooo much pseudoscience terminologies) Yeah, starting to look like those. I remember one TL who was complaining about his "broken" laptop delaying updates, when he got reader donations, he ghosted.

I am a fan of the manga and the light novel. I hope the Light Novel get an English version publisher so I can enjoy both versions.
Right now I depend on Novel Planet and the work of the translator. Unfortunately, the translations, while very good, are infrequent. I hope the translator can get re-energized and find time to continue the work, bit in any case I remain grateful for the over 7 volumes completed.
Someday, there will be high quality auto translations so I can buy the Japanese version and get it translated at home. In the meantime, I depend on the passion, generosity, and effort of private translators until regular publishers can take over.
Again thanks for the work to date and hope 2020 sees more chapters. ❤️❤️

Sorry, that was rude of me. Carry on.

I'm surprised Seven Seas didn't bring this over yet. I have plenty on my plate to read right now, so not dying for it. I might give the manga a go.
-
I just read in Novel updates Forum on this book the translator has walked away from the series due to changes of interest. Disappointed to have read that and hoping this is picked up by Jnovel or someone
-
This is one of my most wanted light novels. I've been following the manga and love all the politics and court intrigue they have to deal with, intercut with them sitting in air condition and playing video games in the royal palace.
I really hope this series gets licensed over here.
-
I would love to see this LN licensed by JNC. Especially since it's kind of a hidden gem unlike any other LN I have ever read.
-
It rarely happens, but the series is ongoing and a 13th volume comes out this month in Japan!
-
I remember folks early on saying this series was anti-harem. I'm guessing it doesn't stay that way (just based on the covers)?

@Terrence Which never made sense to me. This is a political work and it follows pretty heavily with real life medieval politics. He's the prince consort of the queen, and it's literally one of his duties to have many, many heirs/children. Like Aura said pretty early on. To be honest, I'm surprised he hasn't taken on any concubines to date. But it's super unrealistic (seeing as how they're trying to be somewhat realistic with the political stuff) that he still is refusing/troubled about taking concubines. While he may not like it at first, he might as well just give in and try to at least be happy/fall in love with the future concubine prospects since it's gonna happen probably. All he's going to do is make everyone unhappy with his attitude. He wanted to be with Aura and knew he'd be prince consort, he can't keep dragging his feet in not learning to adapt to his new world's moral system and culture.

How far did you read? MC taking on concubine is the primary tension point in their relationship. Him with modern society sensitivity of one man one woman moral, and her duty to the country to sustain royal blood line. Two of them over coming this difference together is very emotional and delicate, and goes on for many volumes. You just need to give them time.
-
Okay I'm putting my money down too. Come on JNC license this already! You guys will do a better job than Seven Seas!
-
Really glad this one will (likely) be licensed. I've heard a lot about it but I haven't checked out the manga so I'll be going in blind.

@LegitPancake
You won't be disappointed. The manga is on point so... here's to hoping.🤞 -
