HJ Bunko published the first novel volume in May 2021, and will publish the 11th volume on October 31.
Sorahiko Mizushima launched an ongoing manga adaptation on Hobby Japan's Fire Cross website in September 2021. Hobby Japan published the fourth manga volume on July 1, and will publish the fifth volume on December 1.
The Amazon listing for the first volume describes the story:
A high school boy, Itsuki Tomonari, gets involved in a kidnapping and ends up taking care of Hinako Konohana, a young lady from one of Japan's largest conglomerates.On the surface, Hinako seems to be a brilliant and charming girl, but in reality, she is a lazy girl with no life skills. However, due to family reasons, Hinako has to play the role of the “perfect young lady” at school. Wanting to protect her, Itsuki takes care of her in a very caring manner. Eventually, Hinako begins to fawn on Itsuki with all her might… “Now…if Itsuki isn't around, I would hate it.”
This is a love story that begins with a cute young lady with a gap that transcends the master-servant relationship.
J-Novel Club is releasing Sakaishi's novel series The Holy Knight’s Dark Road in English.
