I know this isn't really a fight series but I would be interested in knowing how tough the Prime Minister is physically.
Like he LOOKS like he could just snap these twigs with a tight grip.
Dude seems like a charming version of The Kingpin. Less psychotic too.

Why are all these men so handsy in this series? In most of the other I've read (barring the ones where violence is greenlit because might makes right), all their official positions and obligations would keep them in check, but all these people are so eager to touch, grab, hug, and squeeze in public lol
You probably haven’t been reading shoujo. The roguish Duke/Count/Prince/Rake always seems to get handsy when young ladies with issues might consider it “sexy”.

Not only this series, most of this genre the mc is so handsy, has free range touch. Like you cannot be romantic without touching. Kissing hair seems to be the front gate for the next touchy touchy hand movement.

Got myself a RAWS, only thing can say glad it mostly over with. Probably will got our self 15 or 16 to finally wrap things up, but it over.
And this got me felling that with that Volume 5 should be finished and the rising a possibility to finish manga as well. And on good note as well.

You might be right. It's been a long time since I've read any proper shoujo demographic series that are actually aimed at girls instead of just having overlapping genres and trappings. If I think about this as any of those present day school or work place settings then sure, but there's still a part of me that was surprised the setting itself letting these people get grabby in public, rather than what the readership wants out of all the obsessively territorial prettyboys.
I think the last shoujo/josei stuff I read that had to do with high nobility was probably some webtoon, so I probably haven't recalibrated how harshly everyone should overreact to public interactions lmao

Consent ignoring rapey male leads have always been a shoujo staple.

This switcharoo arc has long lost its entertainment value (it didn't have much/any to begin with). It's just dragging on and on, stp😮‍💨. It doesn't help that it's been separated into an excessive amount of parts (6 of em... fr😑?). I absolutely hate switcharoo and amnesia subplots and this manga is by far the worst I've seen. We've been with the actual mc for ONLY 10 chapters! We've barely gotten to know the mc and then they switch her out? No thanks.
For me it's been an interesting read because it touches on some lingering issues I have with the Villianess Genre as a whole. Namely that often times the reincarnator sort of just... superimposes themselves over top a pre-existing whole ass person as a part of the premise of the genre. Some avoid that issue by having the villian get the memories at birth but... even then... what happened to the original "villian" character? Like the game had a completely different personality for them that you're just... outright replacing.

This one seems to have went the "they become one" route where the new person isn't exactly either of the previous people but a new person entirely made of the constituent parts. But also seems to make the OG villian character the "primary" aspect? Basically we're getting a clarification on what exactly makes our MC up in a deep level.

I think the best-ish version I saw was a non villainess transmigration novel where the "amnesia arc" revealed that the transmigration had gone both ways: MC transmigrates into OG, OG transmigrated into MC.

I say best-ish because it actually made MC look pretty unimpressive. Like OG got rid of the debt MC inherited from his parents, started a career, went traveling, etc., while MC basically just went through with the marriage OG didn't want and graduated undergrad. I was like wait, can we follow OG instead.

This sounds pretty good. Can you throw me the name?
