Although I certainly didn't expect that incest subtext in Dahlia and Violet's relationship.

"incest subtext"?, isn't that just a reference to Maria-sama ga Miteru and it's "soeur system"?

Does anybody know if any type of "soeur system" ever existed in reality? I've read a little bit on the private Catholic girls' school system in Japan (which itself is kind of a trip), but it wasn't a very deep dive.

The "petite soeur" trope certain has been a boon to the yuri genre, anyway, leading to much chin-tilting, blushing, and whispering in ears.

+_+ I just started reading this manga
definitely one of my top faves already!
so excited for more!

I went to a private Catholic school. the only "Sisters" we had were the nuns. Not as fun as it sounds. 0_0

oh yeah this is definitely going to end well

Politics and rivalries and actual plot aside, what I really liked about this chapter was all of the maids finally finding their courage to overcome their fear of Frost. ^_^

It always just takes one brave person to kickstart the process. :-)

I started a TV tropes page for the series in case anyone wants to contribute

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/IWantToMakeBlackKnightFallInLoveWithMe

It's been licensed as "Marrying the Dark Knight (For Her Money)" for a spring 2026 release.

^I mean, I've seen worse translated title choices, but not too many...

Yeah I wish the title was different, but alas. I'm glad to be able to buy the series in print at least. I also hope the fan translation continues along with the printing.

Niiiice! Glad this got licensed! I think the title is fine tbh, it accurately describes the initial premise and is less of a mouthful than the current literal translation

I mean, yes, it does, but like many LN titles it runs into the problem that the initial premise soon has little to do with the story, which the original title doesn't. Well, I suppose it helps that it's in parentheses, at least it's not "in the garden" level bad a translation.

I know they're trying to maintain the flourishes of the japanese title, but deary me, that typesetting is atrocious

What's up with sometime and getting the dumbest localized titles ever?
