Kodansha's Magazine Pocket service launched on Sunday a new manga titled Kōjo Tensei ~Densetsu no Dai Madōshi (♂), Hime Kishi to Narite Densetsu no Reijō Kishi-dan wo Tsukuri Musō Suru~ (Princess Reincarnation: The Legendary Great (Male) Magician Becomes a Princess Knight, Creates the Legendary Lady Knights Order and Becomes Unrivaled). Arata Shiraishi is credited for the original story, and Naka Nanatsu is drawing the manga.

The story centers on a great magician who has died before his dream of becoming the strongest in the world could be fulfilled. But he gets reincarnated as a member of the royal family, and has been gifted with a body with close combat skills, and his new name is Evangeline. As a princess, Evangeline is banned from fight training, but she secretly trains in her room and eventually becomes the strongest.
Kadokawa shipped the first volume of Shiraishi's I'm Just a Villager, So What? (Murabito Desu ga Nani ka?) light novel series in 2016, and it ended with its seventh volume in 2020. Hanashi Media licensed the light novels and published the first volume digitally on August 30.
