A BL light novel series? Cool! We don't have a lot of these over here, so this'll be interesting! I love the cover art, too!

Always great to have more bl novels! The only ones I can think of are Yes, No or Maybe, the Sasamiya novels, and the Seven Seas danmei line. Hopefully we'll get even more after this.

Huh, I've been thinking about buying this for a while, mulling about my interest in the characters, vs the price, the time I (don't) have for it, and my vague misgivings about reincarnation romances. I guess I'll just wait until someone here does a review of it. (I've read Japanese reviews but they weren't helpful.)

I read some of the webnovel and that version was firmly "sure, it's fine, I guess" like most web novels out there. It's possible that it got some sprucing up when it was published officially, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

(On the other hand, maybe it improves as it goes along!)

Valid signed a thirty year old waiting for purchase attempt despite currently suspiciously potential commandeered mail in the Canadian border reported on here years ago.

Oh thanks, that's good to know! I guess I'll just bump it lower on my "to buy" list. Very Happy
