A happy 2026 everyone. It's my first release of the year and aptly on my first ever project as my group's name sake.

as you can see at the last low effort page or maybe you already know, we are getting an anime of this series. I am so very excited for it. Fingers cross they get the cast of the first drama cd to voice the characters.


Btw, this release is later than the usual hour because I was waiting for it to be officially released and vol 6 manga and vol 8 novel is finally released. Double whoo hoo! vol 6 ends with a cliffhanger by the way, fair warning. Last ss page is hilarious af .
And these are the illustration cards that comes with the physical book this time around. Lloyd looking particularly fine here


But, with vol 6 over, vol 7 and vol 8 manga will enter vol 4 novel which is my favourite vol. Do look forward to those in the future. I think they're the best vol.

And I think you guys have seen these before, but here they are again. merch from last release as seen in the ads in this release. I love them so much. Thanks to my dear friend who gifted these to me.


Also a reminder that if you do want to post about this manga in any social media, as common sense dictates, please take care not to use my scanlation pics too much or at least white out the text or use textless pictures especially if you are on X. The mangaka and author are very active on twitter and both speak english. The possibillity of them coming after me is low, but not zero and I'd rather not have a target on my back, especially as there are some overzealous japanese fans who are acting like snitchy hall monitors( long story, lol)

Edit: The back ad of the manga states vol 9 novel and vol 7 manga is slated for release this year so likely end of the year.
Also, for drama cd 2, saltis and wisteria's voice is very close to the old cast. Wisteria especially is very similar to fairuz ai from the first drama cd. Good job, her.

For lloyd, I prefer the va from the first cd

Oh man, I remember starting that manga years ago, and I can’t believe that garbage is still ongoing while so many amazing stories were axed.
