I've rarely been this unsure what to think about a series. It just feels like a bunch of kinda screwed-up people in a messy situation, not an edgefest drama. It doesn't feel like a romance either. It just sort of is.

I hope you're right. Even with the age gap issue, that does...

Nah, they're both stereotypical yakuza - who also happen to have big, soft hearts under their very threatening exterior and end up in situations where they do family stuff.
It makes complete sense to notice the resemblance.
The 4-koma sets at the end of certain chapters were what made this bearable.
I assumed from the beginning that the real girl was the one in the chair, due to their physical similarities and the comment about the other girl's voice being off in an early chapter.
Other than that - hell, I liked...

He might be too sharp for his own good, if this poison really is as stupidly strong as they say it is.
And, while I hate to say it, he might not have picked up that this is a test for Canaria, but is just looking for an opportunity to actually nail the queen and her...
What a stylish room to brood in!
God, I love how this guy is basically just playing around, and he happens to be right all the time. Usually I don't like protagonists who always have the right solution, but there's this weird feeling that the world is actually changing to suit his chunni...
That dress on the 13th page is stunning.
Sometimes, I suspect that the main reason I read otome/shoujo/etc. stuff is for the clothes, because they're gorgeous and the characters wear more than two outfits.
@Krobelus
I still thought it was hilarious how both leads were intentionally acting out...
@Seraph_best_girl
I'm guessing she's actually supposed to be the rival in the next game too, and the real drama will come from the new heroine.
But this time she'll be watching out.
Hartknights has such a great array of "oh god, we fucked up" faces this chapter.
@jak
I think it's a matter of perspective. I bet she came off as a real jerk to the players of the original game, but it really seems like that was a combination of her being a standoffish and blunt sort of person...
God, I love the MC's "What?" reaction to this guy suddenly proposing to her. The later side chapter about his side of these events makes it even funnier.
@KMoore
I mean, it's a genre based off of presenting a man meat buffet to choose from, where you can go back through the buffet and pick...
HAH!
A short comedy manga managed to have more moral ambiguity in it than most serious series that intentionally try for morality painted in shades of gray.
I love it.
Can't say any character in this was actually a good person.
@Captaininvictus
It's the whole "Boy Who Cried Wolf" thing. Put out something like that on one release, and people care. Put it on every single release like a tagline or a forum signature, and people will become desensitized and stop caring - then they'll start treating it like a joke.
Same...

Something worth nothing is that democracy only really works when you separate political, military, and economic power, while eliminating personal loyalty as a factor in political decisions as much as possible. Most failure points in modern democracy or republics...
Man, I love this king. He's not evil (as far as we know), and he's not an asshole, but he's still a scheming conniving sonuvabitch - even if he's just trying to get the best possible outcome for the people of his kingdom and for his daughter. He reminds me a bit of the king from Isekai Tensei...
Damn, Bern, it's only four chapters in - you don't get to be this much of a chad this fast.
@icarushector
Some of the stuff said earlier implies that Bern's a battle-style final boss in many of the routes not his own (probably fighting whoever the 'route guy' was at that point), but he's...
It seems oddly fitting to have a villain in an otome game whose grandmother's and mother's lives were ruined (and possibly ended) by noblewomen trying to set up the 'correct' matches.
I like having an MC in one of these stories that isn't worried at all about completely derailing the plot, and...
