Lowkey thought the 'soft sensation' was the sleep inducer, but alas she just body pillow. Love to see some Sakuragi Ren though.

This is the most convoluted excuse to draw more cuddling I've ever seen a manga artist come up with.

But hey, I like cuddling too! So I'm on board!

I just noticed this was the same creator behind Anemone is in Heat. Pretty neat! :D

Himeka is such a great protagonist, I love her already

Fire and flames...only to quiet down to a small, tender ember.

I can already tell, these two are going to be two tops trying to dominate one another.

I like that Himeka really doesn't take the abuse lying down. The crown prince almost killed her, and threatens to make her life hell and Himeka just goes "alright you piece of shit do it, I dare you. I already have proof you need me so start saying your pleases and thank yous or else"

I have a feeling that if Himeka weren't dealt such a shitty hand in life, she would be a Clarice von Ducale-level go-getter. Maybe that would be her character arc? Please?

Maybe im reading too much into it, but that " but even then, i couldnt rest and sleep at night" is insanely ominous. I really hope im wrong tho

I like how those characters behave half-rationally. Noah's reaction is to tell Oliver he fucked up and needs to take responsibility, and consider sending Himeka back. Then twenty seconds later, thanks to heart sleep deprivation induced short temper, she... tries to drown her to shut her up.

And Himeka genuinely feels as someone who is lost, and doesn't take shit when people are looking down on her for things they are themselves to blame for. But she's also seeing the opportunity and trying to turn the situation to her advantage to escape her shitty life.

It sounds inconsistent, and in some ways it is, but each action also makes sense considering the general situation they're in. It makes them feel very human, not just props filling for a specific role.

Himeka's faces and utter disregard for Noah's position and the potential danger she's in, because she doesn't want to bow her head anymore even when it's the "smart" thing to do, are delightful.

I was reading this and when I saw Himeka's angry downturned face I was like "Oh this has to be the Anemone author" lol

Thanks for the upload!

Silly little detail, but I find it very interesting that her appearance notably changed when she was isekai'd? I don't think I've seen that before; she hasn't been reincarnated as another person, she was summoned, but for some reason her hair and eyes are different. And her reaction to it and the flashbacks show us it's not a case of Anime Hair(tm). I wonder if it has anything to do with actual magic she may have now? Anyway, I think this concept is very fun, and I hope to continue it. Always here for another Yuri iseki ng lmao. Thanks for translating!

She might simply be taking onto herself someone’s curse when in physical contact. And insomnia is at least not immediately fatal. We’ll see if she can co-sleep or not but so far she’s been awake for it.

I will cut her slack because the prince had tried to suffocate her earlier, but clocking a crossdressing person still feels like a lame way to win a fight. Even if the prince is just a cis girl.

Still, from this mangaka, it's kind of interesting to see a less wholesome pairing as a main couple.

Im referring to the MCs inner monologue tho, when she thinks about her life in the modern world. Its probably nothing but that statement combined with her father being shown in a negative light kinda worried me abit

To be fair, Oliver actually referred to the prince as a women when they first went to meet her, so it's unlikely she was revealing anything that was actually a secret to the other people in the room.

She mentioned her hair being a different color, but how do you know her eyes also changed?

Excited to dive into another Sakuragi Ren series! Curious to see what direction this series ends up taking.

Immediately saw her as a girl at first, eh?

She's certainly effective in her job. :D

And apparently very familiar with the "prince"'s situation as well from her own world...

Clever girl.

Starting to fall already.

Certainly a nice start, hopefully it can keep this up in future as well.
