Everyone, please check out our two newly uploaded projects!
(They need a little momentum!)

If you like the same romcom twist-on-villainess genre as Unfashionable Lady, please check out The Condemned, Useless Prince Gets Picked Up! It's a very charming and likeable series about a spoiled rotten, banished prince who meets a determined otaku girl!

We also are working on Love Begins Under the Falling Camellias, a lovely and promising historical drama.

We decided to potentially drop Seijou-sama? Iie for now due to the fact that it now has an official English version, and we want to use our time and manpower to work on new things. We are not continuing it for now unless we potentially get new team members (redrawer and typesetter) who would like to work on that project exclusively.

Scrolling through the manga artist's Pixiv account and all I can see are beautiful shotas and some are straight up femboy and crossdressing. So I'd say our little brother character is pretty much right up within our artist's alley.
To be fair, the manga is based on a LN, so the artist's account doesn't mean too much to the canon of the LN that is already finished.

Not many chapters ago, Paul was blushing over a girl at his debut party and imagined having her be his future wife.

All jokes aside even including the credits page, I think this is extra chapter just Paul being flustered that someone is being so unabashedly kind and complimentary toward him. (But it's funny to think otherwise)

If her hair thorns are anything like knives that would have been a better approach to her assassination attempt.

As fun and well-executed as this adaptation is, it's missing some of my favourite details.

First off, Paul was way more uncertain about his parents and had suspected that they had gotten involved with something bad, although he wasn't aware of just how bad. He's also much more cautious in that version, taking a longer exchange before deciding to trust Beltrand, later discussing what he had overheard. Paul brings his only friend along, his carrier pigeon (that's how isolated the poor kid was, he doesn't even have an actual pet, he has a working animal that's away delivering messages half the time). Also, his clothing situation was slightly worse than Agnes': his clothes had been worn so thin that he frequently got sick (prior to modern medicine that's potentially deadly), and the codpiece stuffing?— it didn't fit, so he was constantly very uncomfortable, not to mention that something in that condition and ill-fit could also cause rashes down there if not infections (also, it apparently smells bad since it had accrued three generations' worth of sweat… hopefully nothing else). He even calls his parents out on their nonsense and abuse before they're taken away by the guards.

Another thing, Beltrand's wife, Latrice, travelled with him. She's completely missing here, which is a real shame: she's a kind and dutiful badass — a rare species — and her interactions with Beltrand are both amusing and sweet, since they're deeply in love but enjoy teasing eachother (she's also stated to be part of how Beltrand survived, along side the fact that the guy can store himself to avoid assassins, and then helped both his "illness" charade and the evidence gathering).

The way this is going, some of my favourite details about the ending will also be omitted.


So, apparently their nation has long abolished the death penalty in favour of exile to a subtropical island where the criminals are left completely to their own devices (they basically all stick to subsistence while constantly avoiding others out of suspicion, eking out a miserable existence — that's where the queen and princess are sent after being stripped of their royal rank). For Robin, his abuse of his magic is too dangerous, so its sealed away, which means he can't be exiled (because the seal requires some kind of maintenance). Beltrand and Latrice decide that such a pervert will suffer most in a strict monastery: turns out, not only does Robin consider any place without women to be a fate worse than death, he's such a conceited pervert that he's convinced that the monks earnestly attempting to reform him are trying to shag his ass.

As for the baby, his parents didn't love him — even the ever-indifferent Leonard cares more 'cuz he's willing to intervene if something goes significantly wrong. Beltrand and Latrice want to help him, but note that supporting the boy in any official capacity is not an option (both politically and from the angle of the boy's mental health: growing up in the public eye, all royals are, as the son of such criminals would not be healthy). So they allow his wet nurse, who loves the boy as her own, to adopt him (and they're implied to sometimes visit incognito). So kid gets a happy and healthy childhood, if nothing else. Usually, this kind of series makes the child either non-existent to begin with, short lived, or cut from the same cloth as their parents — refreshingly
not the case here.

The manga also seems to be taking a different route with Paul: in the novel, the Evantale house is reduced to a small county, which Paul becomes determined to reform and revive properly, travelling to the neighbouring country (Latrice's homeland) to study, only staying with Agnes and Nazelbert on holidays (so our couple don't get disturbed in their newly-wed stage). He also falls head-over heels for Kelly which proves unfortunate: despite years of his obvious attempts to woo her, she doesn't even register that he likes her. Same thing happens to Connie. Girl's quite the heartbreaker. The distant epilogue is deliberately silent about what happens with that situation.
