Seriously I'm so invested it's unbelievable in this day and age of a hundred isekai/reincarnation/whatever stories a year. but this still stands out with its quiet charm, particularly its slightly odd but great characters! both the female and male (esp him!!) leads make great protagonists and have wonderful relationship dynamic.
I really want to let the chapters stack up before reading but also cannot resist clicking on every update
Exactly! It's one of the rare ones. People keep saying how different it is from the LN but I'm simply grateful that the Artist has taken charge of adapting it into something that stands out (even if it's subtly). More than anything, it's how the adults behave like adults and not yk glorified teenagers
Credit to the artist for sure - I absolutely adore the character designs of all involved, especially our 2 leads (the duke's sleep deprived shadowed eyes may have awakened something in me...) and the uncle!!
I was literally thinking how well translated this series is about halfway through - and now the recent chapters are in shambles. A total 180
Things went in a really different direction from the impression given in that first chapter...
FYI because Ch 64 is an extremely important chapter and also the epilogue of LN vol 3 so read it elsewhere to stay on track!
Thx, seems to be a big lore drop on that chapter
Link to the LN?
I think they fixed it
I'd been saving the last few chapters for ages so I just reread the whole thing so far... Such a joy! Maomao is best girl, as always. Can't get enough of her amazing expressions and Jinshi's reactions. Also, I adore how kind, insightful, and discreet she is, in her own unique way. She's so clever, so capable, and sooo funny (mostly unintentionally). One of the best female characters ever!
Please support the author/mangaka in any way you can, especially by buying the English licensed versions. I really hope its sales and popularity increases so all versions of the story can get licensed eventually - I want it all! This is definitely among my Top 5 manga.
I expected it to be wholesome and cute, but it went above and beyond that - especially thanks to our best girl, Kinaho! She is an absolutely amazing female character and her relationship with the kids is only part of it. She has so much depth and humour and wisdom... I'm just in love! She's just really well written and that's rare enough to cherish.
It has also made me respect the mangaka. Although I was surprised to see they mostly write yaoi, now I kind of want to read the prequel story.
This is NOT what I expected a isekai type romance to be, because that's what it was recommended as and seemed like from the synopsis. As a huge fan of historical fantasy, I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised to find this exactly my cup of tea! So far, I'm really impressed by all aspects of the story, from character backgrounds to world building to dialogue. From the look of it, it will be quite a long and complex story, so I hope I get to read it till the end!
H-huh? This is isekai?
Not at all. It just outwardly looks like the premise of many isekai romance fantasies out there. It's also in similar lists/recommendation sections, so that was my initial assumption.
can u recommend some cs u seem to have read some good ones
Tbh I was mostly referring to books/movies/tv (western) regarding historical fantasy because it's not as common in manga/webtoons so it's hard to find good ones.
For example, here's a few that I've enjoyed as much, but they are more towards the isekai or reincarnation fantasy genre:
Ebony
Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter
A Beauty, Fatal Concubine
Your Throne
If you tell me a bit more about what type of read you're looking for I'd be happy recommend more :)
