Okay, here we go. The manhwa could have a different ending than the novel, but I’ll be talking about the novel here. And I didn’t read the novel btw. I’ve just read a biiig summary in japanese, that I’m summarizing into this spoil.
This is tagged as « Romance », just as the novel. But y’all have to know it’s actually not a romance one. It’s wayyy more than that, for the first time in that kind of isekai there’s NO ML. We’re just gonna see the character growing up, and I’m actually so happy because of that ヾ(☆▽☆) We all like romance but dang, it’s about HER, SHE’S growing up, without the need of a boyfriend and that’s just amazing. Anyways let’s really start with the spoil now

So, as we saw, the MC will die. A magician will make Keira return to the past, ‘cause she’s « the real one ».
> The real villain of the story isn’t Cosette. It’s the dad, what an @sshole (But he’s hella hot. Still hate him af tho, but ugh why does he kinda look like Claude, and why does Cosette kinda looks like Athy, it makes me even more angry and confused. Don’t make them look like thiiis)
>>> When Keira died ; The dad will help the magician, because of his guilt (? or maybe just because he realized SHE was the real one loved by spirits. A trashy reason for a trash, it makes sense to me.)
>> There’s a thing about the dad being hypnotized, I didn’t really understood that part. But it’s not really important, cause he DID a lot of things, and killed Keira even though he knew she was his daughter (he knew it and wasn’t hypnotized. He still voted to kill her, I’m not sure why but he probably didn’t care since Cosette had the power, and so they thought she was loved by the spirits, « she have power so I don’t need you, just die » grrr)
When the MC returns to the past, the dad start to have some nightmares (of the futur, when he kill his own daughter and all. When he wakes up, he don’t really remember the nightmare and only remember the pain (be in pain yeah, you killed her you trash. And that’s not the only thing he did btw.)
-> Actually, the truth is that he never did directly something, like Cosette. (Well, he voted to kill his daughter, but he didn’t plot or anything) But the thing is that his action, his being, made sooo many people suffer. He destroyed everyone close to him. HE caused everything.
His first wife, for exemple. He watched her being insulted, abused, and never stood to her or said anything, which made the abuse even worst.
> The abuse was done by the family of the second wife, the mother of Keira.
He never said anything, ignored it all. And even when the family of the second wife hired assassins to kill the first one, he didn’t do anything, didn’t say anything, while he knew everything.
The first wife was slandered of being infertile (while she wasn’t). She was pregnant, of Cosette (Which means that yeah, Cosette is a real daughter too. That’s why she looks so much like the dad). And in her situation, to save her baby, she made a contract with a Demon, offering her soul to protect her baby and take revenge of the Parvis family (the one Keira came from), but what she didn’t knew is that she was pregnant of twins (a girl, Cosette, and a boy) >> I’m not sure about this part. The summary does talk about twins (« I didn’t know they were twins ») ; it’s either about the babies, so Cosette and a boy, or about the mother and her brother (cause she do have a brother, we’ll talk about it after)

The Demon took possession of the body of the first wife, and by doing so, killed the baby (Cosette). So actually, Cosette never lived, she was dead from the start ; which complete the prophecy, saying that only ONE daughter is the saintess.
Now, about Cosette (well, it’s not really her. It’s the Demon, in her body, while she’s dead (while she actually was never born alive), controlling the divine spirit ; that’s a little bit confusing. It’s not really clear if Cosette stole the spirit when Keira successfully invoked it and could control it because of her royal blood, or if it’s just the magic of the demon, and actually Cosette never had the water spirit ; Keira had it, but was so shocked that she saw Cosette using her magic (that look just like the spirit), that she never thought she successfully invoked it. She thought Cosette had it and so never awoken her power. It’s one of them either way, but I think it’s the second one, not sure tho this part is so confusing.

Now, the brother of the first wife ; he’s the only one of their family that survived. He wants to take revenge of the Parvis family, just like his sister. He’s the one who introduced Cosette, and he also made a contract with a Demon. In the first futur, their revenge was successful when Keira died, and life turned into Hell (must be why the magician and father returned to the past where Keira was alive)

In this timeline, the father’s way too different. Not as cold, wants to be treated as a father (a b/tch I’m saying, grrr)

The ending ; okay, now let’s talk about how different it’ll of what you expect
I know you expect her to be with a boy, and her father loving her. It’s not. Not at all.
As I said, there’s no ML ; no Romance as we know it. But she’s loving herself. Taking care of herself. Romance with herself lmao

>> She and her brother COMPLETELY cut ties with their father. They’re gonna explore the world, which they could never did (they were kinda locked up in the house since their childhood, because of their father.) It’s not like WMMAP or any manhwa where they end up liking their toxic father and all.


I seriously find it beautiful. Way more « realistic », isn’t it ? I kinda always hoped for an isekai/return to the past where the girl doesn’t live for love u know ? Where she lives for herself. And there it is. (there is some not about romance, but the MC is always a boy. Now we have some THIS same style, but with an heroine that really do it for herself you know ? She find herself, her own happiness which doesn’t imply a boy or a love life ; just her, and her brother, after cutting tie with the toxicity in her life)

Hey guys... I notice that the same questions keep getting asked... over and over and over and over. I've answered them about a dozen times. Sooooo... here's an FAQ for you all!

~~Is this really the end for Kai & Luard's story?~~
We have the extra from the Drama CD and the Daria magazine from April, but unless more are released, yes. You can always follow Hasumi-san's Twitter ( https://twitter.com/fw_kisskiss), Insta ( https://www.instagram.com/fw_kisskiss/), and Pixiv ( https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=15436708) for art and updates. Unfortunately though, there is no second volume for this pairing.


~~So no babies/pregnancy for Kai & Ruado?~~
Unless sensei posts art or extras about them in the future, no. We do love the series, so we'll be watching for that. For now, we just have to imagine them (or write fanfiction about them, like me ^__^;; hehe...)


~~I LOVE DAATH/JUDA!! Is there more about them?~~
Why YES! There is! It's called Remnant: Jujin Omegaverse. It is currently being serialized monthly on Renta (and sometimes in Daria magazine) as well as being released through MULTIPLE other websites (including amazon.jp, ebookjapan and others, if you want to support the mangaka)


~~Will Remnant have anything about their babies?!~~
Unsure at this point. There have been ten chapters released and thus far, it has focused solely on when Daath and Juda met and the early days of their relationship (including some scenes with a young Kai). In recent chapters, Remnant has gotten close to the timeline of the ending of Pendulum, so who knows... It'll depend on if sensei ends the story with this volume or goes with another.

**HOWEVER..... Hasumi-sensei has been doing a separate series all about Juda and Daath's twins!! See the Tweet announcement here: https://twitter.com/fw_kisskiss/status/938723809183506432
And yes, NNN Scans will be translating this adorable series as well! The two released chapters have already been scanlated, but as it's only being released in Daria, it means bi-monthly releases at best.


~~Will NNN Scans be translating Remnant as well?~~
YES YES YES, 1000% YES!!
We love this series completely and utterly. We can't wait for you to see Remnant too! We're always hard at work on any new chapter. Queen Yaoi on Facebook was kind enough to share her raws with us for the first few chapters and we've purchased the rest as they become available. Check her page, as she often posts the raws.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Queen Yaoi occasionally restricts access to her page to block Americans because Americans keep reporting her posts.

PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON THIS SERIES. IT IS ALWAYS IN SOME STAGE OF BEING WORKED ON. IT IS NOT DROPPED NOR ARE WE IGNORING IT. WE HAVE REAL LIVES.

We have raws and are working on the following extras: Pendulum Drama CD extra, Remnant Drama CD extra, Remnant tanko extras. If there are any other bonus extras or one-page items out there that aren't also on sensei's Pixiv, we'd love raws!


~~Are there any Drama CDs for the series?~~
The Pendulum Drama CD was released in fall 2017. It had a short comic and longer extra. Those are waiting to be translated by our group. (Link to purchase: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/FFCL-21 )

The Remnant drama CD was just released in Japan (April 21, 2018). (Link to purchase: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/FFCL-276 )

If you would like the audio and are unable to purchase it on your own, message me directly and I can link you.


~~How can I support the mangaka?~~
You can purchase the manga from Renta Japan or any online retailer that sells Japanese manga. I am proud to own most of the Daria magazines with Remnant/Pendulum covers plus all the tanko and CDs. You can like sensei's posts on her social media accounts (but please DO NOT comment in English or any other languages except Japanese!).
