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
