It happens to everyone 2 and Shibuya’s
To anyone out there wondering: part 2 of ”It happens to everyone” (Which Takabayashi sensei wrote in English as the title being: “It comes equally to everyone”- sensei’s English is not good, she made a mess with other titles too) and a short “Shibuyas” (from the Winter 2019 doujinshi) is translated and available on Baka-tsuki; doujinshi section. Thank you to the translator! Go read if you haven’t!
And now, to the spoilers! (under the cut)
Keep reading

It’s based off a real thing!! *__* It’s exactly like Takabayashi-sensei described with the tablets and everything! I love this so much TwT!!!

A little YuuRam fluff... I tried😅
Hope you enjoy and forgive my writing...
This is something I wrote on a whim...
Novel 7 wimps in chapters 5 and 8 makes me wanna reread the Novels again!
But sadly I don't have time now
Will read later!
Quick question, as I'm rereading Book 7, there's a time when Murata refers to Yuuri as wimpy, and then Adalbert greets Yuuri at the tournament as a wimpy Heika. Are they both using Henachoko, or are they using other words that actually do mean wimpy? -ladyroxanne21
Hi there @ladyroxanne21For questions like this it helps if you add the chapter.But I went ahead and checked all of TenMA (novel 7) for you.These are all the times they say ‘henachoko’ in the original compared to the wimps and wimpys in the translation for this book.Novel7- chapter 1wimpy-> henachoko (narrator)
Novel 7- chapter 2wimp-> henachoko (Wolf)
Novel 7- chapter 3wimp-> henachoko (Yuuri about himself)
Novel 7- chapter 5wimp-> henachoko (Greta, about Yuuri and Wolf)
Novel 7- chapter 5wimpy (eyebrows)-> henachoko (Wolf)
Novel 7- chapter 8damn wimp -> henachoko me (Wolf to himself into the sky)
Novel 7- chapter 10wimpy (and naive) -> henachoko (Wolf to Yuuri)
Novel 7- chapter 11Wimpy Majesty -> henachoko Heika (Adalbert)
Novel 7- chapter 11wimp -> henachoko (Wolf) x 3times
Novel 7- chapter 11(sorry I’m a ) wimp -> henachoko (Yuuri about himself)
Wolfram and Josak conversing would be nice to read sometimes.-Just like Murata and Wolf conversing.
Wolfram doesn't talk much with anyone except Yuuri! We need our Tsundere to open up!🤣
I have been wondering how Josak addresses Wolfram as? And vice versa. I forgot cause I read the novels a while back and don't have the time to revisit now.
Hi there! Actually these two characters rarely address each other directly, but when they do: - > When speaking to Wolfram, Jozak usually calls him 'sannan kakka' -> Your Excellency the Third Son. (三男閣下)
-> Wolfram calls him "Gurrier" (Jozak's last name-> グリエ).
They are so perfect together!!
It truly is beautiful TwT
This doujinshi
OMG! Go and like this yuuram doujinshi. I’m crying! Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | It’s about Yuuri and Wolf doing the New Year’s prayers on Earth and Wolf’s like we did it last year, why must we do it again. And Yuuri’s explaining like it’s a brand new start, like a blank page to forget the bad things. And Wolf’s like I don’t want a blank page. And then the sun comes out, and Yuuri’s like the weather is beautiful I’m sure good things will happen this year . And it shines on Wolfie making him all sparkly and Yuuri’s like, it’s really perfect. And then the last one is him saying I don’t wanna start from scratch either. And Wolf’s like what did you say? And he’s like nothing. I’m gonna try hard being a maou this year, too. So beautiful. TwT
This comic really is good!!
But I do agree on the point that Wolf's artistic skills are actually pretty amazing! Why is this character so awesome!!
i’m rewatching kyou kara maou after ten years and it turns out i am still so invested in these boys’ relationship
All we can do now is to pray that our words reach her and she starts writing!!
Takabayashi-sensei please continue to write!! That last cliffhanger is just too bewitching to leave it hanging like that!!
A little maruma update
There’s been a few updates in the maruma scene.
PERFUMES
Maruma official retweeted links to buy Yuuri, Conrad, and Wolfram perfumes (Japan only). https://twitter.com/maruma_official
Takabayashi sensei only posted : I’m late, and retwitted the ads: https://twitter.com/TakabayashiTomo
(Takabayashi sensei’s tweets are private, but if you follow she’ll approve after a while… don’t know how long it takes now, when she was less active it was a few weeks)
NEWS AND NOVEL RELATED
But the most interesting by far was GEG’s who said:
https://twitter.com/rikka2020/status/1171272123991511040
I have a feeling something really nice is coming this fall. (prediction)
And then she followed up with:
https://twitter.com/rikka2020/status/1171280827461693440
Just in case, I wanted to say that there are no plans to release a new novel in Beans Bunko. Why? Why is it something different? I’m the one who’s the saddest about that. Damn you T. T. who lives over a river*. (I’ll send her a message)
(*)I guess it means on a cloud or something.. not sure. T.T. means Takabayashi Tomo.
Nice analysis! But yeah the perfumes are awesome! And I seriously want one! If only I was that lucky...
Perfume fragrances have been announced in @maruma_official twitter account.
These are the promotional images for Yuuri, Wolf and Conrar including a small illustration.
We got a really good close up detailed pic of Wolf’s golden wings, and also Conrart’s sword decorations.
There’s no announcement of other characters and I personally doubt they’ll make anything else besides them.
I realised it as well way back when I just got into the fandom. It was a beautiful realisation. No matter how trivial it may be anything related to YuuRam is worth knowing.
Trivial Random Thought
So I was coloring my recent art and I realized while coloring that Yuuri’s favorite color is blue and you know…. who in Shinma has a blue uniform as standard outfit…. it’s Wolf XD!
Did you facepalm, I am sure you did : P. This is really something unimportant I realized which is important to me as a Yuuram fan ;).
I was literally screaming of joy when I had read the taisetsuna hito part in the novels!! It's so wonderful to see Yuuri casually doing that and not realising his feelings!!
The ending of this Vol. was marvellous! A beautiful cliffhanger wonderfully written (even though I am dying for the next Vol.).
I hope Takabayashi-sensei picks up her pen again and starts writing what she wishes to.
Yuuram in Novel 17
The last of the main novels, what a ride! Previous posts: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16
——————————————————————
Novel 17. ch.2 - You can feel Wolf regretting everything already-
This time, it’s Wolfram who interrupts Shinou’s question. With his back straightened and his fingers crossed on the table, he’s not staring at Anissina, who asked the question, but at the forefront of the room.
All that’s there is the empty Maou’s throne.
“Just as His Majesty Shinou said, I, as the Key, personally sank ‘Inferno on the Tundra’ into the sea as per His Majesty Shinou’s instructions. Not only did Yuuri wish for that, I myself would prefer to keep it away from the country to prevent getting involved. As for this Box out of the four, we don’t have to worry about it until it shows up again.”
Standing on both sides, Günter and Gisela nod in agreement.
Shinou smiles as though towards a cute student, and then says to Wolfram,
—————————————————————— Novel 17. ch.2 - callouses-
He raises his thin right hand, covering his face with the well-defined joints. There are fading callouses between his fingers. The positions of those callouses are different from those of Conrad’s, Gwen’s, and Wolfram’s.
—————————————————————— Novel 17. ch.7 - Just look at the words Yuuri uses, omg!-
“He fell from the tree, and I don’t know what happened to him after that, but I shot him. I have no doubts about my own skills, I only release an arrow when I’m sure of hitting bullseye. If he wasn’t wearing those clothes, if that child wasn’t wearing the Shimaron uniform, there’s no way I would have killed him! If he wasn’t wearing an adult’s army uniform, if he wasn’t aiming an arrow at us, I wouldn’t have shot him either! But the reality remains, and it can’t be changed… I did kill a child who wasn’t a soldier!”
Those words hurt me deep inside my heart. In an instant, I felt a pain similar as getting burned. Because I had an experience like that, in which I nearly lost my important person just because he was wearing someone else’s clothes.
(So here Yuuri uses the words taisetsuna hito, “my important person”. Yes, it can mean ‘any important person’ but in the maruma series it means 'that’ important person. When talking about Josak, Gwen and others he always says taisetsuna nakama, important friend)
—————————————————————— Novel 17. ch.10 - Yuuri’s description of Wolfram convincing people.-
Wolfram… Mn—I don’t know. For all I know, he would use his angelic, adorable looks. If it was a woman who has low resistance towards pretty boys, she would probably be conquered in an instant. No, if he also shows a proud and passionate side, anyone would be convinced by him, and agree with him.
But I have no such weapons. And yet, this is still my job.
—————————————————————— Novel 17. ch.10 -Quick, save me from the jealous wrath!-
“—Quick, help me think of how we’re going to explain this to Wolfram. That guy would surely say, ‘If you didn’t go back to Earth, what did you do?’ and scold me. He’d even ask, ‘What did you and Murata do? Who’s Darco? Is it a man!?’. Because only in that regard, he doesn’t trust me. Ahh, this time we can finally go back to Shin Makoku! We can go back, right?”
—————————————————————— Novel 17. ch.11 - Aaaaand Shinou’s a little shit -
“Crap, I nearly forgot. I’m here to ask if you want to welcome them together, you can almost see the ship now, y’know. That’s the ship your beloved His Majesty Yuuri is on… Isn’t that right, Lord von Bielefeld?”
His fingers grab a lock of Wolfram’s hair, sliding it down Wolfram’s jaw,
“You’re not foolish enough to speak of this matter. Isn’t that right? You know what will happen to His Majesty Yuuri if you reveal it.”
Wolfram frowns slightly, light wrinkles appearing on his brow. Recently, people keep saying he looks like his oldest brother.
“If it’s for your family or that most important person, you’ll do anything. You’ve always been like that.”
“There’s no need to talk to me about that.”
Wolfram pulls the fingers on his left cheek away, maintaining the minimum level of politeness so as to not be considered impudent, “I understand reason.”
The Box wasn’t thrown away, but kept in the Shinou Shrine instead. But he won’t tell Yuuri that, and he can’t.
(….)
Shinou harrumphs twice happily, raising the corners of his beautiful lips into a slight smile. Wolfram turns away without waiting for a reply, walking away without looking at his expression.
I need to go welcome Yuuri. And I need to get rid of this emotion before I can comfort his weariness from the trip back.
At the very least, I can’t let it show on the surface.
What a nice and carefree thing it is, To be able to live without any secrets.
—————————————————————— It’s lovely to see so much yuuram in the novels. I was quite surprised to see taisetsuna hito in regards to Wolf, I didn’t see it the first time I read it.
No matter how many times I come across it, I seriously admire Wolf for being the first person to defeat Anissina's device with his stubbornness.
Also, as always YuuRam is amazing!!💜
Thank you for this wonderful work!!
Yuuram in Novel 16
The beginning of Prison arc. Novel 16 and 17 have little yuuram as Yuuri and Wolf are in two different places for the duration of this arc and they’re both very busy. However let’s see what we can find. I’m also including some interesting Shinou parts. Yuuram in Novel : 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.1 - A slap, a stab, a punch, a push into the ocean -
And besides, I hadn’t planned to return yet, it was Wolfram beside me that pushed us into the sea from the back, so even if it wasn’t of our own volition, in the end we still fell down towards the blue-black whirlpool.
Just as Wolfram said, I know he did it completely out of kindness. He probably wishes I can return to Earth and sleep peacefully, eat Mom’s cooking, then recharge and rest up properly before returning to Shin Makoku. But in the end…
“This is very obviously not Japan.”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.2 - Gunter and Wolfram talking-
“I really wanna see the world His Majesty grew up in… go to where His Majesty grew up… ‘Ears’.”
Of course at this time no one would pay attention to the fact that he got the name wrong.
“You probably want to follow and see as well, huh, Wolfram?”
“I’m still okay.”
“There you go again, you’re always so stubborn with your words.”
“I’m not being stubborn, I really never thought of going to the world where Yuuri grew up.”
“Sometimes you don’t have to force yourself so much, y’know, Wolfram.” Günter’s gaze is condescendingly saying ‘you were just like a pouting brat just now’. (…)
“I’m not forcing myself! To Yuuri and me, it doesn’t matter what kind of world he grew up in, it doesn’t change the fact that Shin Makoku will always be the best!”
(…)“There’s no country better than this, and I believe Yuuri thinks the same. Once his body gets used to it, he would probably want to stay here all the time, right?”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.2 - Ice swan-
“When Your Excellency was still Snow Günta, His Excellency Gwendal stayed by your side. He even put a snow rabbit on your important parts.”
“Don’t tell me you want me to do that too?”
“I have already put a swan ice carving on Gurrier’s crotch.”
Gisela says decisively. Although it sounds cold just listening about it, Wolfram still decides in his heart that he must go see that later.
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.2 - Wolfram’s power -
If this continues, Wolfram might very likely suffocate.
But Wolfram, on the brink of losing his rational mind, is putting up quite the fight, grabbing Gisela’s wrist and glove, and twisting it unhesitatingly.
“Mgh!”
Gisela clenches her teeth instead of screaming, then turns her body to try and shake off the pressure on her wrist. Although she manages to save her wrist, she also gives Wolfram back his freedom, and his feet finally return to the ground. With that, the Bear Paw has lost its usefulness.
“Did I just witness the moment Anissina’s ma-powered device was defeated with my own eyes?”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.3 -Pretty face-
I shake my head slowly, saying,
“I won’t run.”
If it were Conrad, by now he would surely be saying with a smile, “I knew it would end up like this.” If it were Wolfram, his pretty face would surely go completely red with anger, and then he’d say, “That’s why you’re such a henachoko.”
Lord von Voltaire isn’t like either of them.
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.4 -White face-
“I mean, don’t you guys get dizzy on human land because of houryoku?” (…) “Wolf’s condition is more obvious. Because his face would immediately turn white, but you resist more.” “I don’t feel any particular change, maybe because this land has weaker houryoku.”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.6 -Your maryoku is smol -
“What did you say–?”
Behind the open door, Wolfram demands loudly from the chair on the deck. He’s at least twenty adult steps away from this side. This is in order to prevent him from accidentally touching the Box, so they deliberately made him leave.
It is said that even when it is spoken in a foreign language, people can still tell between good words and bad ones. Even though Wolfram is so far away, he can still sense people badmouthing him—despite not knowing exactly what’s being said.
The maryoku sealed inside the pouch is Wolfram’s maryoku, and if he were to hear that… his maryoku is unexpectedly small, he would surely blow his top, so Günter hurriedly replies,
“It’s nothing, y’know—Wolfram—Nothing at all!”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.6 -Stuck up Wolf -
Pouch Man mutters,
“Pretty stuck-up, ain’t he.”
“How troubling, he’s always like that, his stubbornness is always so hard for us to handle.”
“Oh~~ I understand his personality fairly well, to think that his stubbornness is very different depending on whether I’m watching it from afar or experiencing it first-hand.”
“You’re saying you’ve seen Wolfram before?”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.6 -Shinou’s description-
“Eh—In that case there’s not enough evidence for me to believe you’re His Majesty Shinou, now what do we do?”
“The way you’re suspecting my status like this, if we were back in my time you would have been executed on the spot long ago.”
He continues muttering,
“To think that I’ve gotten softer too. Back in the past, I was very much respected and idolized, so although I never oppressed anyone with my power, no one dared to raise up their heads and look at me directly either. Especially Lord von Christ, I expected you would perform a spray all the way to the ceiling and then faint.”
(…) “Speaking of that~~ I didn’t have a physical body to start with, but that’s something you can imagine. Living alone all this time as a spiritual body, I was looking for an entrance to the real world when I just happened to find a gathering of maryoku that was in pretty decent shape, which is…”
He uses the tip of his fingers to pull at the hair from the pouch,
“Lord von Bielefeld’s maryoku was sealed up in a hundred percent hair, and became a perfect exit that connected the space I was in to this world. From where I’m at, this is just like a little round window made of transparent ice. Then, the second I passed through that little round window, I used the maryoku gathered there to make this thing that looks like a body physical. In other words… it’s like how when a bubble rises from the bottom of a marsh, the mud will fill with air and swell up. However, observe!”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.6 -Shinou spying on Yuuri and Wolf-
“Y-you watch over everyone?” “That’s right… No, you don’t have to worry, I have no interest in vulgar things, and I don’t watch all of you all day long, after all I only have two eyes. However…”
(….)
Shinou looks at the beautiful face similar to his, saying disdainfully, “Wolf sure is stuck-up, despite how cute he is when talking in his sleep.” “You even know that he talks in his sleep!? D-d-d-don’t tell me you’ve heard His Majesty Yuuri’s sleep-talk as well?” “I have, so? The things Yuuri says are pretty descriptive, mostly about ‘assassination’, ‘dead’ and the like. It’s making me wonder recently, is he really a pacifist?” “If you’re talking about Yuuri, I want to hear too!!!” (Wolf)
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.6 -Key-
“A, part, of, the, Box?” “Lord von Bielefeld Wolfram, you are the Key to ‘Inferno on the Tundra’. And the same goes for your two older brothers, Lord von Voltaire Gwendal and Lord Weller Conrart, the Keys of the Boxes of Earth and Wind are hosted on their bodies respectively.” “I am… the Key?” “Didn’t you sense it slightly?” “But… To think… I…”
—————————————————————— Novel 16. ch.7 -Wolf and me-
I bet we’re currently witnessing a special version of ‘Father, give me your daughter!’ But the one acting as the father is the son, and the daughter is his old lady, this difference is too much.
Even if that little skit is so unique, I’m still touched to tears. If I were to find myself in that position in the near future, what should I do? At that time, the fathers would be Wolf and me, and the daughter would be Greta.
Thinking that, I immediately understand Gwendal’s feelings deeply.
—————————————————————— Novel 16. short story at the end -In Greta’s Mirror -Royal family. Greta wants a picture of her mother-
Greta returned to Yuuri’s room and waited impatiently while her beloved family hugged her, then led her by the hand to Wolfram’s room. “Wolfram will paint a picture of your mother from her childhood.” “Childhood?” “Yeah. Greta’s mother and the current you are painted pretty much the same.” Greta sat on a large stool for several hours in the same position without moving. Wolfram, closing one eye and measuring the length with a writing brush, painted a picture with strong-smelling paint. “We can’t take a photograph of your mother, but we can paint a portrait. After this we can make one each year. When Greta is an adult, surely the mother from your memories will be almost exactly like the one in the portrait.” “Really?” “Really. Because Greta is her beloved mother’s daughter, right? But-” Yuuri quickly lowered his voice and whispered in Greta’s ear. He felt around in his pocket again and pulled out a small mirror with a light-blue border, putting it in the smiling Greta’s palm. “It’s a secret from Wolf.” “Yeah, a secret from Wolf.” Greta didn’t know whether or not the completed picture actually resembled her mother. That wasn’t because Greta was forgetting her mother’s face; it was definitely because Wolfram’s artistic style was so incredibly abstract that there was no distinction between a person and a tanuki. Nevertheless she hung the portrait in her room, and spoke to it every morning without fail. But ever after that, Greta wished for a portrait or photograph of her mother.
And every time she used the tiny mirror, she remembered.

Yuuram in Novel : 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17
Wolf is just too handsome and awesome!! I have no words. The last scene is so beautiful to imagine! Love them!!❤
Yuuram in Novel 15
So, I made a promise to write one of these per day until next week. So here’s the end to the Seisakoku arc. It’s so nice to re-read it and find little things I never paid too much attention to before. I always include things I find interesting even if they’re not yuuram. Anyways, enjoy: Yuuram in Novel : 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.1 - So he uses majutsu anywhere but when Wolf wants to do it…-
“…If it’s same as a game, then the zombie group must be weak against fire, right.”
Wolfram who was standing next to me folded his knees. And soon the emerald green eyes were sparkling close to me. His fire techniques are magnificent. By controlling a fire beast effectively, he could burn down only the dead.
“Don’t do it.” But if I think about the nature of the locality, I couldn’t let him do something unreasonable. “Why are you stopping me.” “Didn’t you say that magic doesn’t work in the land of the Shinzoku.” “But..” “Even if you have Gunter’s protector, how can I let you do such a reckless thing!” “Boys! Enough of your playing around.”
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 - Drunkenness and lies -
Maybe it’s just me, but it feels as though Adalbert’s powerful muscles shrivel quite a lot, looks like he’s a man who easily makes mistakes because of alcohol. Wolfram, too, uses poisonous words unbefitting of his pretty face to add salt to the wound,
“Oh dear, don’t tell me you want to say you were drunk then? That can’t be possible, people call you the Grantz boss, how could you have gotten drunk on one barrel of wine? By the way, you also said you don’t sleep while hugging baby bears anymore.”
(…)
Afterwards, according to my investigations, it seems there was never ‘a promise on the ship’. Wolf replies with a straight face, “I was just winging it.”
He even tells me, “He’s the man who betrayed Shin Makoku, and stood on the humans’ side. I really hate my uncle and Grantz, rather than giving Adalbert wine, I’d rather pour the highest quality grape wine into the river.”
To think he could tell such a lie so easily, seems like he’s matured too.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Telepathically -
“Yuuri, you still plan to…”
Wolfram tries to say something, but Lord Weller puts a hand on his shoulder, looking at him and shaking his head. As expected of brothers, they understand each other telepathically even without words.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Henachoko -
“It is indeed rare for the king to appear at the frontlines himself.” “Is that so?” “Other than Shinou, I heard there are only two others who went to the frontlines of their own volition.” “Surely Yuuri will be praised by the poets in the future as a brave king, huh? Although you’re actually such a henachoko.” “Henachoko… That’s right, it’s because I’m a henachoko that I can’t stand this atmosphere.” Wolfram leans back slightly and makes fun at me, since I haven’t been able to think of a decent strategy until now, I don’t even have the energy to retort him.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Wolfram isn’t fit to do anything risky, okay!-
Murata isn’t all that heavy either, the only question is if anyone can ride a galloping horse up to him at a hair’s breadth away and then reach out to grab him.
Of course, this job can’t go to Wolfram. He’d probably lose it if I told him directly, but the position required is very challenging, and you’d need to pull up a high school student with one hand. Therefore not only would you need good riding skills, you also need powerful arm strength.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -Wolf gets confused by Yuuri’s English words, but can understand what they’re talking about?-
Wolfram was watching our conversation from a side, and finally breaks the awkward moment, “So all you need is position?” With his hands on his hips, he tilts his upper body back, his tone sounding as though he understands the English we’re speaking. “In that case, just make her our goodwill ambassador. Won’t it be fine if you make this old woman Seisakoku’s goodwill ambassador to Seisakoku right now?” (continues below)
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.2 -This bit is really interesting, it starts with Yuuri feeling dejected because no one knows he’s the maou and treats him like a normal person and he can’t make decisions, when Wolf steps in..-
“It is indeed very hard for you, since you’re an intermediate.”
“Mn? You’re not calling me a beginner anymore?”
“Well—You’ve been on the throne for quite a while, after all.”
He blinks his eyes, as emerald as the bottom of a clear lake, and says,
“In other words, you’ve grown a little bit.”
“I guess there’s been a minor change. But in the time I changed from a beginner to intermediate, I still couldn’t come up with a solution to convince the people. Ah, man”
“Then, allow me to do what I can for the the king who’s grown up.”
(….)
“Since your identity is false, of course your authority is electing an official isn’t recognized. Alright, turn around!”
I don’t know what he writes on the pale green slip, and he doesn’t seem to be bothered by how uneven my back is, either, writing and signing his name fluidly. I don’t care what you’re doing, but that really is very ticklish.
“Wolf, what are you writing…”
“I elect you as the Bielefeld territory’s goodwill ambassador to Seisakoku. See!”
“What?”
He waves the paper in front of my face. Having lived more than eighty years as an aristocratic heir, he seems used to homework like this, easily giving Venera a position.
“This is something we do commonly in the territory. Choose a suitable representative from amongst the people and honor them with a title in public, so that uniting the people will henceforth be his job, and he doesn’t have to come to us for some of the small stuff too.”
“Is that so~~ To think you’re so used to these things.”
“Although I’m a soldier loyal to the Maou in the capital, my job when I’m back at my territory is more like an administrator.”
“Are you learning how to be a good leader? What mature thinking—”
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.4 -The punch-
Wolfram walks up to me quickly, perhaps to help me out.
“No, I’m taking Ajira with me. Although I feel bad for asking him, I still need a translator. Although I think it’s not too possible, but Wolfram, um…”
“What is it?”
“Don’t you come with me now.”
Lord von Bielefeld narrows his eyes, saying in a calm voice,
“If milord just says the word, I would gladly go to the ends of the earth for you.”
He’s sounding all polite and respectful again, even though he knows very well I can’t handle him at all when he’s like this.
“Stop joking around, I’m going off to be a hostage, how could I possibly let you come along.”
“To be able to do even the slightest thing for Your Majesty, is my utmost pride and glory.”
“T-thank you for your kind intentions, but I can’t let you come with me, Lord von Bielefeld.”
I don’t know how many times I’ve come across this situation already. Once the other person treats me so sincerely, I get frustrated and impatient because I feel I need to repay in kind. In the end, I’ll either make it worse, or say a bunch of random things.
“My beloved officer’s life shouldn’t be sacrificed for me, but contributed to the country.”
“The two are one and the same.”
“It’s not like that, Wol…”
That moment just as I’m turning around to face him, a strong impact assaults my stomach, and I nearly stop breathing. My mind goes blank for about five seconds, and I’ve no idea what happened, only managing to kneel on the ground, groaning in pain. I try to take in a breath so hard, but I can’t do it.
“Wolf… What did… you do…”
“I’m sorry.”
By the time I realize that I had taken a punch from him, he’s already taken off my hooded cloak. I’m all curled up, lying on the sand, the pain making me hold my stomach, unable to breathe. It’s obviously already night time, yet my eyes are filled with a sea of red, my throat making a piercing sound, and still the air doesn’t enter my lungs.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.5 -The punch’s meaning-
Maybe it’s because I’m too much of a mess, Conrad and Wolfram both reach out their hands to try and help me up, but I don’t need their kindness right now.
“Did I ask you two to do this?”
Maybe he didn’t expect me to ask so suddenly, because Wolfram seems to be frozen in shock.
“Whose idea was it?”
“Your Majesty.”
Conrad wanted to interrupt, but Wolfram gets there first, replying,
“It was mine.”
“Now you’ve done it!”
Before I even finish saying the words, I’ve already pulled him by the clothes on his chest. I don’t hold back at all, our faces almost colliding. His eyes look different than usual, because of the illumination from the torch.
“What’s the meaning of that punch to my stomach, huh? Do you want a divorce? To remarry someone else?”
“… respect and affection”
“Liar.”
I took a punch to the stomach for nothing, and it’s been hurting ever since then all the way until now. If I don’t force myself to stand with my back straight, I’d probably be holding my stomach and crouching on the ground by now. If it weren’t for Yelshi watching from the side, I’d have done that long ago.
To be honest, I wanted to butt my head against his hard, but exerting myself now will only make the pain worse. That’s why I thought of admonishing him in public.
“I’ll get you for this!”
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.6 -Just Wolf being awesome in battle-
(It’s that man!)
My features contort in pain, and I raise my hands to cover my ears. The truth is his thoughts don’t reach me through my hearing, so it’s pointless even if I cover my ears. His gaze goes past several rows of the resurrection group on the left, staring at that golden hair glowing a fiery red in the torchlight. But those emerald eyes, its color looking even more complex with red mixed in, are shining with a light even brighter than his hair.
Wolfram turns back deliberately, even smiling a challenge, then he slowly kicks the stomach of his horse, purposely taking off at a speed we can catch up with.
Seeing this act of his, Yelshi naturally takes the bait. From the cavalry to the foot soldiers, from the few living soldiers to the near two hundred zombies, his entire army starts chasing Wolfram.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -Mental image-
Wolfram and I, with two little girls grabbing our waists, walk slowly on the uneven stone steps. The salty sea breeze sure feels comfortable.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -Oh, come on! How cute is this!?-
“They did do something like a fortune telling before.”
The one who had his fortune told back then wasn’t me, but Wolfram. But back then not only weren’t they talking about weakening or whatnot, they even said he had a king’s aura, so surely that must have made him happy?
“Is what they say accurate?”
Hearing my question, Wolfram thinks back for about ten seconds, his arms crossed over his chest and his left leg stretched slightly ahead, a hint of a smile on the corners of his lips,
“No, it’s not accurate at all.”
“It can’t not be accurate!”
One of the twins, probably Freddy, seems really angry, and can’t help but protest.
—————————————————————— Novel 15. ch.8 -And the most yuuram arc of them all, end with … what else? Yuuram-
Just then Wolfram waves at me, so I leave the scene without replying. I really want to throw it somewhere, but I can’t just leave it alone either. That is the sealed, ominous Box that the mazoku destroyed, and sealed. I really want to forget about it, but I think about it with every step, and it presses down on my chest every time I breathe, making me gasp for breath.
“Is your stomach okay?”
As soon as we’re out of Saralegui’s field of vision, Wolfram immediately looks apologetic, even saying,
“Sorry.”
“Oh—That? Oh, right, Wolf, that punch really hurt! Although I was at fault too in the tunnel that time, you were wrong to hit me in the stomach. That is totally DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!”
Although it’s not serious or common, Wolfram looks surprised to hear an unfamiliar term. What a bother, since I’m used to talking to Hazel, I’m starting to use a lot of Earth terms now.
“DOMESTIC… what does that mean?”
“Uhm…. like ‘in the country’ or a 'product of the country’, something like that”
“I already told you many times, I will formally ask for my due punishment once we get back…”
“No need, it doesn’t matter if it’s official or not. Any time”
He’s about to say something formal again so I pat his back hard without hesitation, and it gives me a feeling of reality, like “Ah—right here”. I’m here, and so is Wolfram.
“Because we’re already back.”
We’re all here, Conrad, Murata… Josak too.
“I can’t say for all of it, but I brought us back with my own strength.”
“Yeah”
The sea breeze caresses Wolfram’s hair, and he nods his head firmly. Then he turns around to face me, as I was still standing on the rocky side of the port, and with an extremely natural movement, he extends his hand to me.
“Let’s go home, everyone is waiting.” —————————————————————— Ahh… what a joy of a novel!
It is so refreshing to find people who read the Light Novel and appreciate it's awesomeness! I mean it is so underrated because of various different reasons. It is. marvellous piece of work!! And Takabayashi-sensei's way of writing is amazing!! The way she changes the atmosphere is just plain awesome.
All her characters have a very unique personality. And she makes it a point to break the character stereotype. Like how the ethereal beauty Günter has an extremely perverted side, the eternally stoic Gwendal has a soft spot for cute things, the perfect gentleman Conrart has a thing for cold puns and how the fallen angel is a selfish brat when he opens his mouth(but I find him charming no matter what).
She has made even the women superior. Not like the meek heroines that we mostly encounter. But ladies like Anissina, Gisela, Flynn, Julia, Jennifer, Celi, etc. They can protect themselves and even others and contribute extremely for the kingdom.
Even Yuuri has his unique character where he has a bad temper and a habit of going into a "Turkish March", if you get what I mean. He has a strong sense of justice which drives him to do crazy things. But he his easily manipulated though he is not dense(at least not that much)
I have no words for the beautiful YuuRam. If I start then I won't be able to end. For me, they are one of the best couple that I have come across. Yuuri and Wolfram complement each other. But since they are guys so it is hard for Yuuri to accept their relationship. Yet no matter, he considers Wolf his best friend, comrade, and his precious partner. It is just too beautiful for words!! Wolfram obviously has already pledged his life to serve Yuuri already. And no matter how much Yuuri complains about his engagement, the fact that he protested about the punch by Wolf as an act of domestic violence and complaining about divorce added with his regular praises of Wolf's beauty is proof enough. Plus the way Wolf can go from being a wagamama-puu to encouraging Yuuri is beautiful(in more ways than one).
Yuuri just say yes already!! (cause Wolf is all hyped about marrying you!)
What I found out about Maruma/KKM after reading the novel up to 15 chapters.
WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Yuuri is not as innocent as I thought he is. He’s still dense and very kind but not stupid and innocent.
I fell in love completely with Yuuri from the ball at Dai Shimaron chapter and I feel so guilty towards Wolfram and to think that he’s my baby.
Yuuri POV consists, things he shouldn’t do, baseball reference, and how beautiful Wolfram is.
Wolfram is Yuuri’s personal sun.
Flynn has more characters and not as plain as how I remembered her from the anime.
The Maou Yuuri is a lot more badass!
Adalbert is more likable, I mean a lot lot lot more likable in the novel I found myself loving his character so much!
And his side story with Julia thrown me off board from ConradxJulia ship and I even throw that ship into the abyss now.
Maxine is the character I strangely found enjoyable it still puzzle me.
Adalbert and Maxine relationship is one hell of a relationship. Well, they are a perfect family! Father, son and granddaughters.
Conrad is not a Mr. nice guy!
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mean he’s hateful, I mean he has a dark side that I never see from the anime.
Conrad not return had so much more impact to the whole story and the anime did bad by changing that.
ConYuu in the novel is strong but I still have the same opinion as from the anime. I don’t ship them.
Greta is great! (I’m borrowing Conrad’s lame joke)
But seriously I always thought Greta as a tag-along character. The character which don’t bring much significant but her character did have impact and she’s very adorable and I love her!
The additional character like, Amblin, Sizemore, Chevalier and others help spiced things up so I feel bad they were cut off from the anime.
I love Anini so much!!!!!!! She’s mad, she genius, she’s mad, she’s funny, she’s mad, she’s strong, she’ ma… Did I already said mad? XP
Owh! And how she always happen to slap everyone with her hair whenever she turn around is my personal favorite.
Have I told that I now ship GwenxAnini? I DO! HARD!
Their relationship is the best and even so cringe worthy.
When will you two gonna get married.
Maybe the youngest will be the first one.
Gwen win the best older brother award. I mean despite of his fear, he went into his dimensional drawer in order to go to Kalbenikoff coz he thought Anissina tried to use Conrad as Romero.
I’m so proud of my Wolf cub if I’m gonna write about how proud I am of him I may need end up writing for days.
He matured so much!
I love him more and more and more now!
And he’s not the unreasonably over jealous type.
But Yuuri’s so afraid of him especially whenever Wolfram give the we’ll-talk-this-in-private vibe that I found it amusing.
Yuuram in the novel is much stronger my shipping heart almost can’t stand it.
Just get married already guys!
But on second thought, they did acted up like a married couple.
Btw, I found out that many people are in favor for their engagement.
So hurry up and get married!
Yozak is more Gurier(I wonder if you get this) and I love him soooooo much!
Coz I love Yozak so much, I’m really mad at Conrad when he accused Yozak as irresponsible for purposely losing to Adalbert and cause Yuuri to have to fight as third contestant in the Shimaron tournament. And the other time is during Seisa arc when Yozak being controlled and became the enemy Conrad don’t hesitate to cross sword with him. I mean come on Conrad, he’s protecting Yuuri with his life during your absence!
I don’t know what happen to Yozak but I hope he’s fine! *pray hard*
Weird but I can’t ship Conrad with anyone at all.
Sara is terrible! Nuff said.
But I love the terrible Sara anyway.
Sergeant Gisela is the best. How she flipped the switch from the gentle healer to Demon Sergeant is the best. Go on and admire her Greta.
Murata is wiser but only from novel I understand his pain of not able to forgot. *pats Murata*
He’s wise but he did acted up like a 4000 years old man.
Lady Cheri is indeed a good mother and I’m totally fine with her free love lifestyle.
Fanfan is really cheesy I’m puking out rainbows! No! You don’t have to take note Dorcascos!
Gunter is really disgusting! Lol
I found Bob to be a really funny guy.
Ah! Shouri needs more limelight. He deserved it!
I basically just love everyone in the novel.
The novel can turn from serious to a total crack in 0.001 second yet I’m totally fine with it.
I agree with how the novel don’t sugarcoat things just to make them acceptable.
All in all I’m enjoying the novel so much I feel sad to finish the other two volumes so I tried to take my time by reading the gaidens and extras slowly. I still don’t have any thought bout Shinou coz I’m just about to read the gaiden. I might add things up as I still have lots of material to read and if I suddenly remember things. XP
That's so true. The Wolfram we see is like that because he is a guy. If he was a girl then I can't see why he would be allowed to even tag along Yuuri's adventures. I don't see how he would have a stamina of a soldier. I don't see how he would be comfortable with the travels while dressed in gowns. I don't even see him setting his foot out of the castle cause I'm pretty sure that if Celi had Wolf as a girl she would've made her follow her foot steps. So I cannot imagine YuuRam happening with Wolf being a girl cause it's plain wrong. Because we would be essentially removing the core of what makes Wolfram Wolfram. And the whole point of his presence as Yuuri's best friend and trusted companion whom he can count on.
English version of Kyou Kara Maou
Here, let me translate Kyou Kara Maou to English since apparently it’s so difficult to understand:
A guy travels to another world gets engaged to a former princess. The moment he sees her, he’s completely taken by her appearance. When they have to fight he tries to make her panties drop to win the match. He spends his inner monologues continuously talking about her eyes and beautiful skin and features. How she’s an angel. A wet angel when she jumps into water. He calls her cute. He loves how straightforward she is, how she always tells him the truth. He holds her hand while trapped in a cramped area. He tells her: Wait, wait! You don’t wanna have sex with a sweaty guy and gets in the shower, when she throws herself at him. THEY START SLEEPING TOGETHER. No explanation , just boom, princess decides to sleep with the guy. You start reading about it 3 months after the guy decides to not lock his door and let the princess sleep with him every night. Guy adopts a child, child calls princess mommy. Child is not allowed to sleep with her parents. Princess saves guy’s ass continuously. Guy curves all other girls (and guys, but who cares about that, right?). He takes princess out on adventures, where they always sleep together. Other people also comment, oh I see you sleep together on trips, too? Princess almost dies, causing guy to react in a way he never has before, even though many characters have ‘died’ around him before. The trauma hunts guy forever. When he accidentally hurts her, he feels like literal shit. And crawls around princess trying to cure her, asking her if she hates him. Princess replies of course not, I came to the ends of the world for you. Guys friend dies, he gets into a fight with best friend and is exhausted, finally begging to get in bed with princess, saying to her: I’m so glad I have you. I don’t have the strength to pretend anymore. Cut to black. Guy and princess fight like a married couple. Guy asks princess if she wants a divorce. Guy tells princess he’ll give her anything she wants. Guy, writes 26 things he likes the most about princess in front of her while she does the same. Guy asks princess if she’d cry if he wasn’t there.
Now let me ask you…. do you still need the guy to confess his love for the girl? Do you wonder if the guy likes the princess?
Okay, well in the Japanese version the princess is a prince.
It's really well made! Henachoko is my favourite word as well!!
A couple of days ago I decided that it would be cool to make a ‘henachoko’ brooch and wear it as often as possible. This word is too cool be ignored, I think.
I was asked about the colour choice. You see, I just liked the yellow-orange threads I had (of course, later I made up a story about flame, passion and Wolf, but who cares)
This felt bearbee is also mine but was made long ago and hidden like a precious treasure) But now it’s ready to fly. Hope you enjoy it.
Я уверена, что никто из окружения не поймёт, что же написано, и будет строить прекрасные теории типа “добра”, “любви” и “процветания”.
In short Wolfram is awesome!!
I dont think ive ever seen someone make a kkm headcanon post but i will give u one i thought about months ago
hc that wolfram is a super supportive dad no matter what?? In the novels yuuri has p much implied to greta that he doesnt like that she idolizes annissina so much and kind of doesnt want her going down the ‘trap girl greta’ road, meanwhile wolfram said that he would support her if thats what she wants to do. I imagine that this would lead to a situation similar to annissina’s experiments on gwendal, but wolfram is both terrified and also proud?
Proud bc his daughter is smart as fuck and knows how to protect herself and (to a much lesser extent) the castle rooms that she booby traps. Terrified bc he has to purposely walk into them and never knows whats gonna happen. Also bc nobody knows which rooms are trapped and where
One day everything is fine when wolfram suddenly screams and is catupulted out of a window
The next day dorcas is catapulted out the same window and wolfram proceeds to brag about it while nursing a broken arm.
I just really love super proud dad wolfram and it makes me sad bc it’s not highlighted much at all. Its kinda implied that yuuri is greta’s favorite dad even tho wolfram is just… so much more present in her life and is so much more supportive of her in general?? Im still not over him promising to paint a portrait of her every year until she’s all grown up to help her remember what her biological mom looked like??? Also he has been super protective of her even to yuuri, if yuuri ever says something that he thinks might hurt her feelings. And like doing her homework for her bc she was sick and he had to drag yuuri into helping him
Wolfram does not get enough credit ok??
Wolfram's humour is the best. And it seems that he thoroughly enjoys teasing Yuuri because he is not familiar with ShinMa's customs and things. It is so amusing to watch it.
A little more thoughts on Wolf
I think Wolfram is a big troll sometimes. He actually knows that Yuuri is irritated but he will still continue irritating Yuuri even more. Like in the Dual at ma noon he knew that Yuuri was mad, so by the end of the story he remained silent to see what happens.(I think!)
I also think that Wolfram has his own personal room but he is lying about it. I mean even Greta has a room there is no way Wolfram won’t own a room as the ex prince(referring to the bear-bee gaiden).
I think he lives up to his name Selfish puu very well and he is aware about it. Like in the Caloria arc he slaps Yuuri on the ship on the pretext of reverse proposal and added “didn’t you teach me not to insult parents” addressing the Novel 1 incident. I mean he accepted he is selfish before he was leaving Shinma(in Caloric arc) in front of Gwendal.
Moreover during the tournament part in the Caloric arc where Yuuri misinterpreted the match rules Wolf was like “yeah we will have a naked fest” and then when they finally enter Wolf changes the statement like “Listen to me carefully, demon nobles aren’t allowed to reveal themselves in public. Stripping is reserved for emergency situations!”
Haha, so understandable why it is 29th!
April 29th -Wolfram’s Birthday on Twitter
So, hey! The Japanese fans have chosen today, April 29th as Wolfie’s birthday! #ヴォルフラム誕生祭2019
https://twitter.com/hashtag/%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A9%E3%83%AB%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0%E8%AA%95%E7%94%9F%E7%A5%AD2019?src=hash
Because this is not an officially assigned day not many people know about it, but I think it’s nice someone chose a day and it’s trying to make it stick. Please join if you can!
Agreed!!
Few things about Yuuri
This is just a small post about “Maybe author was hinting about Yuuri’s sexuality(and type?)” and here it goes.
I will start with the pillow, remember there was a story in which magical pillows were mentioned. You can select a pillow and if you have maryoku you will have a certain “themed” dream depending on the type of pillow. In that story Yuuri used the silver pillow and he did see something from his past life meaning the pillow worked!
Then we have the Mise Ma Show where we saw that Yuuri wanted to have a lewd dream with a girl but ends up having Wolf and Conrad in his dreams! I mean he wanted girls but sees guys with him! What if this was just a way of author slipping “Hey hey you see Yuuri might be into guys not girls!” We know that the other pillows did work and the others got their result. So the pillow working should be a hint?
There was also this in Dual at Ma Noon “ There was no way that confessing my teenage preference in lewd dream !”. But I am not sure if he was talking about the “lewd dream” or the ”guys”.
Finally, there is also Because We’re Young the part they were talking about not seeing Rated-R dreams and Yuuri is/was always like “I like mature girls” and ends up seeing himself with a fierce person. Type much? I know the conversation sort of changes to where Yuuri is saying,”this and that is also my type?“ but you get my point. Also, he never gets to the main part with the girls in his dreams XD! I mean never ever according to this story.
I also wanted to address the time line of all stories:
Novel 9 - April 2004
Novel 10 - His Majesty the Maou’s Elegant Day - Sept 2004(the story where pillows are mentioned)
Mise ma show - June 9, 2005
Duel at ma- December 31, 2005
Gaiden 3 - When we were young - Nov 14 2006
The reason I listed the time line is because from Novel 9 I saw a considerable amount of change in how Yuuri was behaving or interacting with Wolf. So maybe author was trying to slide such things or maybe it was just for comedy XD! I know Maru Ma is an adventure story I highly doubt we will get a side where Yuuri will be like “I thought I only liked girls then I realised….” dun dun dun!!!!!! At this point we don’t need it but just think about it if we ever get it “…then he entered my life…” XD!
Hmm Hmm. Agreed. The Saralegui part though🤣🤣
From worst to best is the ideal choice and it makes you appreciate all of it- the anime the manga and the novel. And it also makes you want to check all of them out.It just makes you wholly fall in love with MaruMa. And, well, for my part it made me fall in love with YuuRam and Wolfram as well❤
Kyo Kara Maoh is streaming legally again on Crunchyroll. Just the first 2 seasons though. So finally I can watch it. How does it compare to the manga/anime? What order do you suggest experiencing the series? Like anime first or manga etc.? Thanx for any help you can give.
Hi! Oh that’s good news, being able to get access to official stuff is always good and it’s nice to see an old anime adaptation get attention.
We have 3 main canons: the original novel canon, the manga canon and the anime canon. There’s also the musical canon, the most recent.
My personal experience with this series started with the anime back in 2008, but at that time there wasn’t much material available to begin with. By the 3rd season I was unhappy with the plot and characters so I started searching for the source, I thought it was the manga, but I ended up discovering the novels and became a hardcore fan of them. I finished the anime anyways, for the sake of completion.
In my opinion the anime adaptation fails to reflect the true nature of the novels, and it also develop it’s own plot, that’s why it stands as the most different canon. They try of course, they have a mix of comedy and drama which is fun, but I felt it was not enough, specially because the darkness we get in the novels is deeper. They also got rid of all the parodies and pop culture references, which are not Gintama-level but they’re a huge part of the story, honestly, I love Yuuri casually talking about David Bowie and costumes of Alien and Predator haha. When I was watching it, at some point I noticed the characters lacked development and they ended roll-backing to repeat basic gags of their first appearances. That’s bothered me and my interest dropped, but I felt the potential was amazing, so I went to the source. Besides my one-time experience, I must say the anime has tons of fans who love it and enjoyed it a lot, it’s what made this series so well known. Please don’t get discouraged to watch it, it’s not my intention at all. The first adventures are supper funny too, and pretty much the same as the first volumes of the originan story plotwise.
The manga does better as an adaptation, but Caloria´s arc blends with the following Seisakoku arc and starts developing other new canon. It already ended and you can find it online in any known website or app that hosts manga. Even with it’s changes, I consider it a better adaptation than the anime and it’s quite enjoyable with the cute art and all. The characters reflects more their novel self too, but some of them are not exactly the same (they’re nicer ahaha, I’m looking at you Saralegui).
Then the novels, best story and characters, and you have a huge amount of material to read and enjoy. They mix comedy, parody, drama, fantasy and adventures. They’ll give you a lot of feelings, one moment you’re laughing and the next you get slapped by darkness and sad, it’s kind of a roller coaster sometimes haha. Also, it’s an isekai series where the MC doesn’t drop his original world but coexist with it, which is pretty interesting. You can find everything translated here. There’s also drama cds adaptations with extra content or special stories, some of these are part of the novel canon, some others are part of the anime canon.
Now, an order… mm, I think that’s too personal for me to tell you what to do! That’s why I tried to give you some information about the 3 different options and my personal experiences and opinions about it. But your experience will be different, like every other fan experience with the series, so please remain open minded to your possibilities. Maybe you like better watching anime (I don’t actually watch much, I’m more of a manga person haha) and that’ll be a good start, or you may prefer mangas, I don’t know. You can also decide if going in order of adaptation from the less complete to the most complete (anime-manga-novel) or vise versa. But what I can truly recommend is to cover everything available sooner or later, specially the original novel.
But welcome to the series! No matter where you start, I’m glad more people is getting interested in the maruma world. Please don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of material and just enjoy. My inbox and chat are also available if you want to send questions.
This is too beautiful!!

I did exactly that. I started with the anime. I loved the Royal Couple so much that I wanted more content and so I got to know about the manga(since I'm not a LN reader). Then I found out a few artwork which were done by Temari-sensei and turned out to be the novel illustrations. I was that of Wolf and Yuuri from Seisakoku arc and I just couldn't contain my curiosity when I realised there is more content. So went ahead and read the Novels from the Seisakoku arc. Then after finishing it and realising the character difference and the amazing work of Takabayashi-sensei I went ahead and read the whole LN from Vol 1 to 17 again. It was highly satisfying!! It is a beautiful work! Truly a masterpiece! With the characters and story line being so wonderfully unique and entertaining in its own way. And the LN is dark!! It is so good that way.
Is this show done? How about the novels its 2019 and i just started watchingthe anime.where does the anime leave off in regards to the manga/novel
Hi anon!
Anime and manga are finished, the novels aren’t (although the story line is way ahead of the others).
In my personal opinion watch the anime first, then read the manga , lastly read the novels, so you go from worst to best format.(If you read the novels first it will be impossible to watch the anime.)After about chapter 40 in the anime, it goes its own way separate from the novels. Same with the manga after chapter 96.Both of these take place at the end of the Caloria arc (novel 8).If you really can’t be bothered to read the early novels (which are completely different and so much better than anything else in this series), then read novel 8, to sorta understand where in the anime/manga you left off, and then start with novel 9 (Seisakoku arc) for new material. You will be missing out on: 1) Yuuri being a completely different character 2) Wolfram’s character development. 3) The yuuram relationship development. But hey, if you wanna skip everything that’s good in this series is up to you.Cheers!
