Description: By the time she realized it, university student Mari had fallen onto a battlefield. Looking around in confusion there was a large crowd of knights clad in western armor. They called Mari “Her Majesty”. It appears that she was in the middle of a war and her forces were at a disadvantage. Certain that this was a dream, she worked out a plan and achieved victory but… somehow, she had really replaced the queen!? What she understood after was that the origin of the war was the queen’s misgovernment and that she couldn’t return to her original body. So Mari decided to reorganize the ruined country–? Drawing the truth of the tracks of love, it’s a miracle fantasy!A very interesting novel, with pretty illustrations and an exiting story. Besides I always love the setting 'Evil Queen'. Also it's nice and fun to read how the protagonist is struggling to fullfill her role as a queen, without her subjects and trusted aides noticing, that she isn't the real one. Besides this, it's also difficult to rule the kingdom properly and be a kind and wise queen, when the former, real queen was a terrific and scary ruler. It's basically how to change a reign of fear to a reign of kindness, wisdom and strength. I don't think it will get boring reading this novel, it's just too exiting. Of course, for those who love it, there is also a lot of romance (although not so extremely like with the real queen and her boy toys, honestly the protagonist is really disgusted by the acts of the real queen and of course wants to change it what isn't easy at first) political intrigues, sword fighting and magic.
Lastly I think with only 2 volumes the novel has a good length and it wouldn't be troubling to license and translate it. -

Sounds like a fun premise. And at only 2 volumes, if it's decently done why not?

This novel first got my attention, after I've discovered the manga and it's beautiful art style. The story is really exiting and interesting, also 2 volumes shouldn't be too difficult to license and translate. So please, please license it!!!
