@Chizan They didn't really mention it. But from the first chapters it seems like it was jealously since he was a commoner that has risen into the court wizard
Honestly one of my favourite parts about the manga is the fact that the MC cries a lot. Most of the second chances mangas make the MC emotionless when he meets people he lost before or prevent terrible situations. unlike this one
@SoujiSenran I mean it is in the title. You just come here for a dumb straight forward 1 page comic to enjoy it. It doesn't really promise anything more that that tbh.
Although this manga doesn't take itself seriously most of the time. It has some moments that feel meaningful. The famine PTSD, The agony of not being able to interact with people or not wanting to ruin your family reputation. are just things that actually redeem the manga a bit.
I hope yuri gets a happy ending. Even if it is going the harem ending with both yuri and Nine I don't mind. But please I hope it doesn't end up being a queerbait.
At this point I am reading this manga for nostalgia. I have been reading the novel since I was like 10 years old as a way to learn English and I have been reading it still now. It is not great or bad just fun tbh.
