They really didn't do the story any favours by skipping to this arc. Art was good though.

Thanks for the translation.

Yeah the manga got axed. But the english light novel got canceled before it reached the ending.
IIRC, J-Novel never axed it..there are just only 4 LN volumes in Japanese. The Her Majestys Swarm LN sold pretty poorly, it's likely axed since the last volume came out in 2021

It was ok. While there were a lot of threads that weren’t unravelled, the plot they did tell roughly made sense. Definitely more enjoyable than Swarm, mainly due to Yuzu’s charming character. I guess I’ll read the LN or WN, any recommendations which?

The WN is complete in Japanese and about 90% translated (although translations are currently stalled). LN Volume 4 comes out in about a week, which will bring it right up to where the manga started.

The WN which can be found here:

https://www.novelupdates.com/series/demon-noble-girl-story-of-a-careless-demon/

And you can start here:

https://moonbunnycafe.com/demon-nob...story-of-a-careless-demon-volume-1-chapter-1/

LN is here:

https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-devil-princess-ln/

The WN chapters don't include the illustrations since they came out way before the LN did. The WN goes through several translators, some better than others. App (who I linked) is pretty good and does the first 8 volumes.

So I'm just not gonna finish reading this series and maybe some day read the LN, Not only did it not start at the beginning but then it ends in a werid spot too. What was the point of even making this?

It's been a ride! Thank you again for all reading, especially to those of you who weren't source material readers. Even if it wasn't the perfect adaption I hope you enjoyed what is probably my favorite Web Novel ever.

On a side note, if anyone has anything they would like picked up please let me know. I have a couple idea already, but more couldn't hurt. (It has to have furigana though..my kanji abilty is terrible)

Now I'm just going to hope that J-Novel picks up the LNs for an offical translation and that we get an anime adaption at some point

Edit: Message from the Author: "Although it was a bit rushed, thank you for everything Shiki-Senpai"
Hello, thank you very much for translating this manga, I'm going to read the novel now 😊 An anime would be amazing!

Some suggestions for a new manga to translate (however idk if there are furigana) :

Thank you for the translations. It's a shame the manga is so rushed, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

A wild manga from start to finish. I can't say I like that, but I get it wasn't meant to be understood.

I like Yuzu faces, my problem with this manga, In the future, when the IA solve a lot of problems, I will read the LN or WN, i dont understamd the difference (cannon and more events)

What happened with heroine? She die? Or she is free of tokyo god influence?

Then what is next arcs? Is interesting?

1: Read the WN or LN through novel updates, the manga was axed because someone decided adapting books 5+6 while scrambling the plot was a good idea. 5 and the first half of 6 could work in a vacuum but the second half of 6 the plot crashes violently into the events.

2: the next arc is trash. it might even be garbage. the only redeeming fact is a character who they wrote out of the manga, and this arc's deuteragonist get to be hilarious together. Books 1+2 are amazing, 3+4 are fine, 5+6 are much better in the novels, and 9 so far has been fine even if you skip book 7+8

Yeah 7/8 was my least favorite arc too, I personally still enjoyed it, but yeah..it's like they tried to parody and generic isekai so much that it actually felt generic lol. I did like the mini sci-fi arc that happened right before it though

the mini scifi arc is right after it, not right before.

honestly im being overly hard on books 7/8 here. theyre still a Harunohi series, and Harunohi is an excellent author. but for the standards of The Devil Princess or Heroine Survival, books 7/8 of Devil Princess suck because they dont matter to the plot except explain how (Spoilers for Manga readers, not for anyone who has read the books) Cat Husband gets his humanoid form.

the objective problem is that Devil Princess is a dramatic horror and it feels like Harunohi decided to write two comedy chapters. but like, ive read all of Harunohi's work. Flare in VRMMO, and Fleuretti the Demon Maid are enjoyable reads, but theres nothing fun about the detour home in Devil Princess.

youre not wrong, reading the Scifi book-ender for Book 8 is really good for this series.
