Rather confused by why this starts with the 'epilogue' (well not rly, but its a word I can use to avoid spoiling stuff, and still have ppl who read it know what I mean) arc of the novel.

I'm just here for the great art. The way they draw the pupils ticks something in me.

is his name literally “handsome” in English or is it like ikeman or something

Written as 'beautiful prince' (美王子) read as Handsome.

Btw he has a little sister named "Venus" (beautiful eggplant)

google "kirakira name" if you want to know more about such names

these kinds of word play on names are sometimes funny,
sometimes make me feel so detached during serious moments

the most recent one I remember is Shikikoza from Honzuki isekai

Kazuki (Honzuki author) is an amazing author. She spent something like 3 years planning out the whole story before she started writing it

Good news! I found a site that had the raws for chapter 6-10 so I can keep putting these out. Chapter 11 should be out in the next couple days as well.
Yey, also are the words like that due to typo or slang?

Same = Name
Yo = To

because the novel doesnt skip important background information about how Yuzu gets to where the plot really is. like the fact she has, until she meets Dad-chan, an unhealthy fixation on her sister because she senses that Mokoto would be delicious or that its because of Yurushia shes actually in the advanced class she can barely maintain. further theyre shuffling events around so Yuzu got kidnapped much earlier

gotta note though: Yuzu does not come off nearly as gremliny as shes drawn in the translation of the scene with Kako. Also i feel sorry for Kako and Kouki knowing what happens.

It's the same kanji as their initial plan of Venus, but thanks to the nurse convincing them, the registered furigana is Minako.

Also Excalibur is son of the mom's friend, so not his brother.

its a brick joke between books. in book 5 Yuzu is discussing how her mom's friend has a kid named Excalibur and that they wanted to name their daughter Venus but were convinced not to.

in book 6 Yuzu goes to the corporate annual and meets Handsome with Minako and she comments that Minako was supposed to be named Venus but the nurses convinced them against that.

by process of transitive information, Ecalibur is Handsome and Minako's oldest brother.

Literally in the same damn paragraph where Minako got first mentioned:
二句之家長男である美王子ハンサムは、歳を取ってからの初めての子供でテンションが上がりまくった両親によって命名された。
"Nikuno family's ELDEST SON Handsome"

The excalibur part is actually saying because his mom's friend named their own child with kirakira name, Handsome might be numbed to how cringe his name is.

Reading comprehension > "transitive information"

It also mentions he's their first child in the line after, so unless THAT also got cut off there's literally 2 things in the RAW pointing to him being the only son.

What source might this be? Because if it's still that same group that did part one then they're just trashy MTL that just happen to put enough editing in to sounds ok.

And IF it's the same group: I tried to correct them on some mistake before and they doubled down on their version, so that speaks of how much they actually care about accuracy.
