This manga kickstarted my entire fetish for OYAJI SEME. YES, oyaji will top, he will show you why he’s the head of yakuza. I know right, it’s actually surprising if you consider the trope (normally it’s younger guy seme, boss uke) BUT NOT HERE. (It’s more shounen ai btw so don’t expect swinging dongs or anything)
Can you tell me where you read raws?
Please where to read the rest?
I purchased the raws
I bought the books
I like gentle handsome daddies. I just don't prefer grandpa seme.
Umm I remember there is no next season or something, we have to wait.. Umm it is not finished yet right?
There are 2 more volumes after this one here, and it's marked as comppeted after 3rd volume
Ask me anything on romance if you want. Sit down and be ready to experience one of the greatest isekai world building works and an equally mind blowing relationship development between two certain characters. They are on top 5 of most popular pixiv pairings. I’m ready to defend the pairing. If you stop here because of that, make no mistake - you will lose out big time. Tbh I can’t even call it romantic. But they are shades deeper than many pairings out there.
Please spoil me everything
Can’t do that. They’re the heartbeat of the story because they separately and also jointly move the plot along so you’re better off asking questions.
But I can say this. Even if they’re not romantic (which I don’t think they are yet) their relationship is the most moving in the novels. Those who cry ‘omgg can’t believe xx is the ML I’m dropping this’ *shrugs*. TBH sucks to be them, they won’t be experiencing one of the greatest reads in modern isekai.
Please spoil me more about Main and Ferdinand, I've read about them, but the description was unclear and it confused me. How will they realise their feelings? What makes them change the student-teacher relationship to something romantic
Looong spoilers
I should mention that even by the end of the novel, things have ‘not yet blossomed’ romantically between them. Myne’s love for books is the very core of her character, and though she admits that Ferdinand is more important than her library (a very big thing!) her feelings have yet to catch up to that point (romance). The thing about the world in AOB is that engagement/marriage is hugely a means to gain political favor, and we cannot apply our modern values to it. It is an alliance between your noble families to help your standing. So if Ferdinand / Myne becomes engaged, this is less to do with any romance but more for the sake of the nations (it’s a very long story).
Ferdinand himself has feelings, developed only at the final volume, but even that (for me) doesn’t compare to his desire to experience what ‘family’ is like, knowing what he knows and feels when he sees Myne with her commoner family. He was greatly abused as a child, and this shapes his character and beliefs early on, being guarded, perfectionist and stern. Rosemyne has completely changed this, in that he realizes there IS someone who truly cares for him. So if you were to ask me, are they in love with each other the way we expect? The answer is … no. Not yet. Even if they may be engaged to each other, they are not yet at that level. Ferdinand is fast catching up tho.
Anyway, to answer your question, there are two turning points, ALL near the end of the novel. It is a very long way if you compare this manga.
The first turning point for their relationship was during the events near the end of Volume 4, where Ferdinand was ordered by royal decree to wed Detlinde, Myne’s schoolmate (and one of the antagonists), in another nation, being the perfect candidate to stabilize the political climate there. This meant Myne and Ferdinand will be permanently separated… no longer will he be there for her, to act as her guardian, to watch over her health. Myne was coming to terms with all this. In the end, they both exchanged gifts that shocked their closest aides present with how intimate it was. Ferdinand’s especially, was a carefully crafted hairpin of rainbow feystones of the highest quality, meant to protect Myne in his absence. (For Detlinde earlier, so disinterested was he in giving a proposal feystone that he gave her one of his random creations and spun a sweet tale of bullshit which she fell for.) Here, this is where she reveals to Ferdinand that he is truly family to her. The blessing she gave to him was of the highest of high, never seen before. It’s a testament to how much Ferdinand means to her. I cried at this entire farewell scene.
The loss of Ferdinand here means Myne has to learn how to navigate her way politically and juggle all her duties and even more in Ehrenfest. They do exchange letters at Myne’s request, more to reveal enemy movements in Ahrensbach, this is why Ferdinand chooses to remain there and go through the wedding. It’s so he can protect Ehrenfest from there. They will have one more chance to meet again later for one day, during her academy events. Thing is, everyone close to them knows this is how they are… Ferdinand worries over Myne, checking over her health, touching her wrists and feeling her forehead is so second nature to him. Myne in return also seeks out Ferdinand, interacting with him very closely, they bounce off each other also with snark and how she’s pretty much the only person who could tell him off at that level, and him to her. Things like this are typical for them, but to the public who saw this then, this is an alarming closeness that is like an engaged couple (in a bad way because she is already engaged to Wilfred by that time. It’s like why the effing hell are you more worried over Ferdinand than your own fiancé??).
The second turning point was when Detlinde was going to kill Ferdinand that he gasped out Myne’s name and in Ehrenfest, she instantly saw a vision of Ferdinand losing his life. (Remember in the early days when Myne called out Lutz’s name and he could see what’s happening? It’s the same phenomenon.) Myne went BATSHIT insane, like she literally INVADED another country just to save him. I quote her :
“… The greater duchies, the Sovereignty, the royal family, and even the gods themselves—I would make an enemy of the entire world to save you.”
By this time, only Ferdinand has not seen her in her full adult body yet since he was in Ahrensbach, so he couldn’t recognize her. Anyway long story short, I believe this is where he started to see her as a woman (and the launch of a thousand fanart) I’ve tried my best to keep things as vague and less spoilery on plot so I hope this helps.
Great, that's that's the best way how it can end. I can't imagine them to have a big lovestory, like realising ,,I love you the whole time blah blah blah..." but in the same time I want them together.
Btw. How old are they at the end of the story?
In AOB world, there are 420 days in a year (maybe best to refer it as seasons instead of year, since a new year starts in spring and ends in winter). She is 15 years old by the end (officially 14 on paper because she lost a year when she became Myne) Ferdinand is 13 yrs older.
So in our standards aka earth’s time, she
will be older than that, hovering 18 yrs give or take.
To add to this, the author never intend to write a full romance on this story.. Just only hinted on romance (she's sick on writing one so to challenge herself not to write a fully obvious but only hints of romance) and it worked! fully baited romance lovers even with very subtle hints only
(￣∇￣")
Is Part 5 volume 11 the last part ( end of novel ) or still there is more..
Part 5 volume 12 is the last but the author announced a sequel for main story (Rozemyne, not the spin-off Hannelore)
amazing, Ty for writing this all up. I reread every word lmao
I know it’s late. But myne and wilfred are engaged? Isn’t that her stepbrother?
Yes, but not related by blood since she's originally a commoner, don't have any noble blood. You can think of it as her being adopted to be dauther-in-law (adopted bride to be for the son) in a way.. But it wasn't intended that way in the first place, it only happened since there were dangers or her being engaged to other duchies if it wasn't done (her magic was primary reason for her being adopted and they won't let other duchies have her). If you're off about step siblings being engaged, don't worry it will be broken after just a few years.
Wdym by when he gasped myne name?
Subconsciously voiced Myne's name (like a gasp) when he was in pain and he thought he was in a hopeless dying moments..
The artwork for the smut in this manga is OUT OF THIS WORLD, and explicit enough that I couldn’t believe it wasn’t a KR webtoon lol, though it’s still censored. Ignore the SA mentions, their relationship is sweet and wholesome.
The incoming angst will be delicious. Why? Because doc is lying right now. He's gonna fall in love for real later on, and bro is gonna find out he lied, and doc is gonna grovel big time, and I love groveling semes. Grovel moreeeeee.
Something about seme’s hurting just hit diff
The writing is shit but when Heil cried, fuck it, I forgive everything. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
As far as I’m concerned, the story ended after Heil and River did their woohoo. With each chapter, the writing gets worse (it was already cringy and everyone speaks like they haven’t come out of puberty) and more convoluted drama springs up. This chapter takes the cake as almost the entirety of Heil’s character development threw itself out the window along with his brain.
Do you know what this is? This is what ‘Am i your daughter’ should’ve been. A memorable, not strong MC but knows when not to give up. Somethings gone wrong when you’re rooting for the bad guys to continue tormenting your MC because author is too much in love with her heroine and dedicates 10 chapters to show how pretty she is during misery times.
So after the baby was born, they just ignored her? She just happened to wander around aimlessly and nakedly in civilization and no one bats an eye? No one sought to track down her whereabouts or seek her mother’s relatives? At this day and age? And Heil’s old flame is considered a ‘sibling’?
I felt the writing and dialogue is getting mediocre and cheesy, with the saving grace being the beautiful art and Heil. Downvote me if you want, but thats honestly how i felt. Cant Heil and River enjoy shipping moments without convoluted drama getting in their way?
These are novel ending spoilers, what happens after Desir saved the world and all is well. I skipped all the way to the last paragraph. Please note that the manhwa may go to a different direction possibly. But as far as shipping go, here it is:
*****
Now that the world was at peace, now that there was not a terrorist organization or impending apocalypse, Desir finally allowed himself to slow down and be human. He finally looked at himself and realized what some part of him had felt for a long time.
He glanced towards Adjest, only to see her staring at him, and the two hurriedly looked away from each other without speaking.
“… You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you?” *Crack*
The atmosphere began to freeze calmly.
In the peaceful center of the lily of the valley garden, an ice palace that reflected the radiant moonlight was built.
“I care for you, Desir Arman.”
Adjest reached out her hand with a flushed face. “Would you like to be with me now and forever?” Desir carefully took her hand with a smile on his face. The white, soft and very warm back of her hand. “Forever.”
He kissed it.
AHHHHHHHHH MY MULTISHIPPER HEART IS HALF HAPPY HALF BROKENNNNNNN
I’m spasming because I JUST finished reading S Classes that I Raised, and the leader is giving off major Hyunjae vibes, tell me if the artist wasn’t inspired by Hyunjae Ahjuicy and gave him a BL plotline instead lololol (as if S Class doesn’t have enough)
Omg, ikr. Like, he look so much like Hyunjae from S classes that I raised, which I don't mind. (⊙…⊙ )
