Demon Noble Girl ~Story of a Careless Demon~

@Lily-Garden That's really relieving to hear, here's hoping.

I'm not sure where the confusion started, but this series is published by Kodansha, not Kadokawa :X

Lily Garden

@myskaros ….well here’s hoping that you guys get it anyway

bedwetter_alice

@myskaros Ah... sorry, i just saw it on the OP and felt all hope drained away. Thanks! hope is back on the menu (honestly, acquiring this series could be a gateway to the HaruNoHi's extended universe).

myskaros

@bedwetter_alice Well, that's another point of confusion for me; JNC has licensed tons of books from Kadokawa, around 40 different series? https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/1703/english-licenses-sorted-by-jp-publisher

I'm raising this topic from the dead because I think it'd be a nice licensing suggestion for J-Novel.

I read the manga and it's quite good.

The web novel was quite interesting, I would like to read the light novel too.

Wasn‘t this the web novel with the cute golden demon kitty? If so, upvote!

silvi

Quite enjoyed the web novel some time ago, would love to read the light novel too.

Btw, volume 3 and 4 are out:

Yes, yes, yes, please!!! Read the web novel and it‘s so exiting (though the manga is utter crap in my eyes). Give me the light novel NOW!

Seandrake

Ohhh this is by the same author who made everyone's favourite little murder hobo in otome survival. I would definitely pick this up or anything else by them.

I like the novel, but the manga is total trash.

@Seandrake Author of the littlest murder hobo? I’d give it a try.

Throwing my vote on the pile. this story is SO GOOD! I read the web novel recently and it was some of the most fun I've had reading a story. it has so many twists and turns throughout, most of them unexpected. you can tell the author was having a ton of fun while writing it.
please please pick this up!!

recommendation for readers : try to go in as blind as possible. this is one of those books where spoilers really hurt the experience.

I accidentally made a new suggestion, not knowing that a thread already existed. Just putting my notes here

volume 1

Alternate Titles: Akuma Koujo, 悪魔公女

Author: Harunohi Biyori (The Otome Heroine's Fight for Survival)
Artist: Umiu Geso
Publisher: Kodansha (K Lanove)
Volumes: 5 (most recent Dec. 2024)
Manga: Yes (already completed with 3 volumes)

Synopsis: She had a dream: the world was brimming with light. Family. School. Friends. Trains. Buses. Movies. Books. In that world of light, she grew into adulthood… and at the very end, in a white room, she fell into darkness. She awoke from the dream to find that she had become a demon. In the demon world, she lived a carefree life until she encountered a powerful being.

After such a long time spent living as a demon, before she knew it, spreading in her heart was a yearning for that world of light. She plunged herself into a summoning magic circle that had appeared. Then… when she opened her eyes once again, she had become a human baby.

She was in the Holy Kingdom. She felt fearful: while she was indeed a demon, she only had the strength of a baby. Her being a demon, if discovered, would be terrible. Was she a human or a demon? Would she be able to survive from here on out?

Comments: This was suggested on the J Novel Club discord by Lyn, and while I did suggest that he post it here I just decided to put it in since I had some spare time. (Turns out we were already late to the party lmao)

Obviously, if you’re a fan of Otome Heroine you’ll probably have a good time here - from what I can tell, the heroine is indeed also a cute little murderer. The manga is a bit more contentious - apparently it just skips the first part of the web novel to get into the meat and potatoes of the plot - but it also looks interesting too.

Three days after I post this, Seven Seas picks it up.
