Yes, I was really surprised and sad to find out that the manga planned to end. We kind of expected it to more fully adapt the later part of the novels! (Which I haven't read all of yet, but have just used some parts to reference). Indeed, the manga skips around significantly near the end, but I also feel like the manga is pleasant enough on its own for non-novel-readers to enjoy the lighter ending.Actually, itâs trueâŠin the light novel! Between the last chapter upload and this one, the light novels got licensed in English and published (the manga is still unlicensed lol). I read them and the manga cut quite a bit from the novels.
They also cut out the sexual harassment scenes but I do not mind that đ
Funny thing isSO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!!
The remaining members of STHAR Scans, the previous scanlators of this series, have joined our team. There was a bit of disorganization that led to such a long delay on my part.
NEW CHAPTERS OF THIS COMING IN A FEW DAYS!
Please check out the other STHAR Scans manga we've inherited and just updated:
The Condemned, Useless Prince Gets Picked Up, a cute villainess-twist romcom about a hopeless banished prince that gets taken in by a girl who is a huge royalty otaku, and Love Begins Under the Falling Camellias, a historical drama about a young man who must care for a troubled girl.

Yes, I believe so, from J-Novel Club.Yes, I was really surprised and sad to find out that the manga planned to end. We kind of expected it to more fully adapt the later part of the novels!

Also, I know the light novels are published in English, but it's only digital version and not print version, right?
Hoping some day for print then. I'd love to buy a physical copy.Yes, I believe so, from J-Novel Club.
Given that the manga is ending in like 7 or 8 more chapters, I appreciate the info full info. Sucks that we miss so much but it also makes sense to not try nd cram too much in before the end. Also no surprise that so multiple characters have a crush on Kelly. She is the best.Oh yeah, theyâre skipping a whole bunch of stuff. Iâve read up to volume four, but thereâs so much going on that the manga is skipping, itâs kinda sad.
For people who arenât into reading and just wanna know what theyâre missing, here are the highlights so far:
- The end of this party: the queen, Robin, and the princess are all ousted from the palace. Robin is sent to a convent with no women (the worst thing to happen to him), while the queen and princess are exiled to a criminalâs island. The king abdicates and prince Beltrand (Bell) becomes king. There are still former supporters of the queen out there doing bad things; the rest of series is about bringing them to justice.
- Bellâs wife Latriche is also cut from the manga, which is bad cause sheâs cool as shit! She kicks ass, adores Agnes, and helps when she can.
- The rest of the series has Sutrena continue to rise up as a prominent place to be. They develop new snacks like fries and tapioca pearls that increase their landâs popularity. It also has become a destination for young noble ladies victimized by Robin and their families to run away to.
- The state church is heavily corrupted. One of the most talented appraisal priests gets demoted because heâs a commoner and sent to Sutrena. He is very confused at first by how friendly everyone is but then he gets happy that he is feee from the churchâs bullshit and have time to study special magic.
- He also appraises Agnesâ magic. Turns out her skill is actually called âAbsolute Reinforcementâ and she can reinforce objects, people, and animals. She also has multiple other hidden skills and has an almost unlimited supply of mana. One of her hidden skills turns out to be a form of healing, which could mean Agnes is a saint but everyone is keeping that a secret.
- Agnes and Nazelbert decide to have an official wedding ceremony. They travel to a neighboring viscounty to get the rings, but while staying with the lord of the land, they discover that the viscount and his family are mistreating their oldest daughter, Sonia like Cinderella. They âkidnapâ her and take her back to Sutrena where she works as a maid and then moves to the appraisal priestâs new church because they fall in love (aww! â€ïž)
- Soniaâs spoiled younger sister (idk her name but she speaks like a parody of a moe character and ends her sentences with a star âïž) finds out cause Sonia left she now has to become the concubine for the ugly old head priest of the church, who is a sadist and locks girls up in his dungeon to be whipped. She escapes to Sutrena to try and make Sonia go and marry the head instead, but she refuses and the sister ends up staying and falls for Connie lol
- Oh yeah and it turns out Connie has a crush on Agnesâ maid along with her brother Paul. Their feelings are not noticed lol
- The appraisal priest is kidnapped by the head priest and his goons after the marriage with Sonia and her sister falls through, and after Prince (now king) Beltrand and his wife, Queen Latriche, save the head priestâs other concubines. Agnes and Nazelbert save their priest while the head priest is sent to the same convent Robin is in lol
- Agnes and Nazelbert finally have their wedding and itâs so cute lol
- Agnes also decides to be a proper margravine and participate in high society. She has trouble at first because of her past, and that the women of high society are awful. She also has to contend with a really bitchy reporter who writes an article about how Agnes is cheating on her husband with his brother, which causes Nazelbert to get her fired to protect his babe.
- The reporter ends up working for a Duke whoâs still âloyalâ to the queens faction and tries to kidnap the princess and Robinâs child (who gets adopted by his wet nurse, a countess) to make him king instead. It ends in this overblown plot that ends with Agnes kidnapped, she saving herself, Nazelbert getting critically injured trying to stop the evil Duke, and Agnes discovering her healing magic.
- Oh and Agnes finds out sheâs pregnant! Thatâs the main plot of volume five, which I havenât read yet.
- Im tired lol
EDIT: okay finished Volume 5, kinda didnât retain as much as I did for the earlier volumes even though so much happened so apologizes if I miss stuff. Anyway summary time:
- So when Agnesâ parents got arrested, her brother Paul was sent by Queen Latriche to her home country of Polypstan (idk the spelling calling it Polyp. for now on) to study abroad. Volune 5 takes place in Polyp.
- Agnes is pregnant and Nazelbert has become overprotective to the maximum. If he wasnât doing so many good things he would have earned the âLord Villainâ moniker that the English light novel title gives him lol cause he keeps wanting to lock Agnes up since sheâs so cute. Donât worry though, they still have healthy communication and relationship, so all good!
- Agnesâ brother Paul is taking his graduation exam and Agnes wants to go watch as his guardian. Nazelbert didnât want her going since sheâs pregnant but gave in in the end and they went together with her maid Kelly and their knight Torre.
- They arrive in Polyp. which in recent years has experienced desertification. Theyâre in the southern part, though, which still has farmland.
- Paul has become muscular and handsome, and his power is much stronger now but still acts awkwardly with his sister and has that crush on Kelly haha. Heâs friends with a boy named Ryuk whoâs from a family of knights. Ryuk is a coward though and wants to do something in administration or history but his father is kind of abusive and tells him itâs knights or nothing.
- Agnes and Nazelbert want to help out Ryuk so they agree to hire him and Paul to oversee the new territory they gained from the corrupt nobles they defeated from previous volumes. This makes Ryuk very happy and he gets a crush on Kelly too (and she never notices lol)
- Agnes also has to contend with the chairman of the school, Valen, whoâs also the second prince of Polyp. and Latricheâs brother. He grows interested in Agnes and makes some moves to be her lover since in his country having lovers on the side is accepted, unlike in Sutrena. Nazelbert is not. Pleased.
- Agnes does make friends with Duchess Masroono, the wife of the Duke whoâs the headmaster of Paulâs school and the lord of the land where the school is. She hates that her husband has a lover (a florist Agnes and Nazelbert meet while out on a date).
- Nazel gets asked by Prince valen if he can help Polypâs farming issues, as theyâre suspecting something is wrong with the countryâs soil. He is able to use a crop that doesnât need his magic to grow that he developed back home to temporarily relieve the issue but a permanent one must be found.
- While Paul takes his graduation exam, a group of monsters that look like giant beetles attacks the students and families watching. Nazel, Torre, valen and Polyp knights defeat the bugs but they also unleash a purple toxin that pollutes the ground.
- After researching they discover that the bugs were manufactured by someone and start defeating the bugs in other areas of the country.
- The Duke suspects that Agnes may be the legendary saint that could solve all their issues. He tries to snatch her up but gets his ass kicked by Nazel and co first, and then his wife. Everyone realizes that the Duke likes being beat up by his wife (eww) and heâs punished for his stupidity.
- Turns out the bugs were made by a group of former nobles from Agnesâ homeland. Theyâre defeated and the bug attacks stop but the land is still ravaged by poison and recovery is gonna take a long time.
- Agnes accidentally purifies the land proving sheâs the saint but she and Nazel don't say anything and just head home.
- Epilogue: that bitch Robin is back and oh yeah HE FUCKING ESCAPES. He escapes the convent heâs imprisoned in by going with an agent from another country who think Robin is the saint and heâs gonna sexually harass Agnes again, isnât he? đ«©
Vol. 5 is the latest novel as of 10/10/25, so unless somebody has dibs on a Japanese copy of the light novels thatâs it for updates okay my thumbs hurt bye bye đïž
This is an incredibly good comment that I sort of glossed over most of initially. Thank you for this. I'm going to be linking to it and referencing it in the forums now.Oh yeah, theyâre skipping a whole bunch of stuff. Iâve read up to volume four, but thereâs so much going on that the manga is skipping, itâs kinda sad.
