Synopsis:

Amelia is back at the academy for her final year, and she has much to look forward to: her good friend Marie’s wedding to Third Prince Julius, the birth of the crown prince and princess’s child, and, after her graduation, her own wedding to Fourth Prince Sarge. However, although the countermeasures taken to reduce cold-weather damage to the kingdom’s agriculture have been bearing fruit, there is still much work to be done to combat the food crisis now looming over the entire continent. In particular, the rain-producing magical tools that the Kingdom of Bedeiht provided to the Beltz Empire haven’t been working as intended, an issue which could both jeopardize the already-shaky relations between the two nations and serve as the tipping point for political disputes within the empire. As the developers of the tool, it’s up to Amelia and Sarge to return to the empire to investigate the problem, uncover the truth about the enigmatic empire, and maintain the peace of the continent.

Hidden Histories and Happy Endings!

A Trip of Friendly Relations

Defeating a former fiancé and an out-of-control emperor, A Royal Rebound’s final volume makes way for the sound of wedding bells. With all four members of the royal family preparing for marriage, including Sarge and Amelia, a renewed bout of trouble in the Beltz Empire threatens to stop their happy endings.

A Royal Rebound’s final volume has made significant improvements over its previous release. Whilst I found an imbalance in the overall length of the mystery last time around, the latest instalment takes the series back to its roots with a well-balanced mystery.

The mystery this time around takes place as Sarge and Amelia attempt to set up friendly relations with the empire by helping to fix their desertification issues. Set amidst the tumultuous first months after the toppling of the previous emperor, the scientific couple soon discover that there’s something very unnatural about the way magic is being siphoned and how the country is slowly heating.

Past Actions and Present Mysteries

Attempting to discover the mystery behind the empire’s loss of magic and constant heating, the series is thrown into a deep dive about the continent’s history. This wider view into A Royal Rebound’s universe reveals an era of desperate times and dark magic, an appreciated piece of exposition that goes far into explaining the current circumstances of the three featured nations.

Remnants of this dark magic are what Amelia senses whilst in the Beltz Empire’s capital. Through her keen senses and Sarge’s magical abilities, they can put an end to an ancient device that uses spikes of magical energy to feed an environmental catastrophe.

Their resulting actions lead to a newfound peace between all three nations on the continent. With the final mystery laid to rest, everyone can have their customary happy ending.

To conclude, A Royal Rebound’s final outing leaves the series ending on a high note. As a final volume, the mystery this time around was wholly entertaining. It delved deeper into the world’s history whilst providing a believable reason for the Beltz Empire’s desertification. Moreover, the romance angles of the series all felt well deserved by the end.

Throughout its three-volume run, the series concludes every plot line, mystery, and happy ending, thus ensuring a satisfying whole story.

Kunon the Sorcerer Can See Vol. 1 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 1

Synopsis:

Kunon was born blind and aims to be the first person ever to use water magic to create new eyes for himself. After five months of study, he has already surpassed his teacher, and continues to grow his talents. Not only can his magic help him sense the color, but he can also use it to make handy items and even conjure a whole cat! Word of his skills and ingenuity soon reach the court and earn him a spot as disciple to the most powerful magician in the land. But is his ultimate goal even attainable? (Source: Yen Press)

Kunon Sets Out to See!

The Boy with the Hero’s Scar

One of the latest titles in the Yen Press roster, Kunon Can See, follows the story of Kunon, one of the few to suffer from a condition known as the Hero’s Scar. A result of a lingering curse from the defeat of the demon lord, the Hero’s Scar specifically targets descendants of the original heroes, often having them born with parts of themselves missing – in Kunon’s case, he’s missing his sight. 

Kunon is quick to learn that the Hero’s Scar isn’t worth all the prestige, and suffering from a weak body and constant sympathetic sighs has left the young noble numb. His joyless demeanour makes it difficult for those around him as his views are grey. As an aside, his grey view of the world makes the first chapter a rather difficult read. Thankfully, this changes as the protagonist is introduced to magic.

With Magic Brings Life

Learning magic opens a world of endless possibilities for the suffering young noble. While only able to start off with beginner-level magic, the variation in its properties ends up helping Kunon to realise that magic can solve his biggest problem – curing his blindness by obtaining magic eyes.

With a new goal in mind, Kunon becomes a changed man. Gone is his sense of grey to make way for a happy, frivolous and mischievous young man.

As a result of his change, Kunon has been experiencing nothing but positives. Relationships with his fiancée and family have improved, and he’s able to make fun games of anything (even if this comes with a heavy scolding!). Moreover, these positives aren’t only experienced by the characters but the readers as well. Alongside Kunon’s frivolous nature comes a change in the writing to paragraphs filled with a strong comedic undertone.

Kunon Can See Too Much

As Kunon’s sense of boyish wonder continues unabated, his newfound happiness hasn’t failed to go unnoticed. His scheme of turning the royal palace into an ice rink, in particular, garners a lot of attention. Whilst this attention brings good and bad, it helps him progress, especially when members of the court sorcerers see his actions as nothing but pure potential.

The resulting meeting between the two finds Kunon’s growth expand under the expertise of Zeonly.

A rather curt member of the court sorcerers, Zeonly’s tutelage ends up being the final piece of the puzzle for Kunon. Yet another tutor to teach things outside the box, his slow but sly method of showing Kunon how to create 3D formations added magically to his already high technical attributes and strong sense of touch, finally formulating the solution to creating magic eyes.

Despite the story’s difficult beginning, Kunon Can See gets off to a strong start. Progress is the key to the volume’s success. Whilst it may not seem like it at first, every new attribute and feature ultimately ends up advancing his goal and helping to create his very own magic eyes.

Furthermore, the story showcases Kunon’s progress entertainingly. Filled with a strong comedic undertone and enjoyable characters introduced along his journey, the author successfully engages the reader into a vivid world filled with pain and pleasure in equal measure.

As the first volume leaves off with Kunon heading to magic school and his magic eyes working a little too well, there are plenty more misadventures to come for the series.

Cover Illustration for Volume 2

Synopsis:

A year has passed since Amelia first entered the Royal Academy of Magic and endured the isolation caused by her ex-fiancé, Reese. Now, he’s locked away for his crime of forming a liaison with the Beltz Empire, and Amelia is happily engaged to the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Bedeiht, Sarge. They spend their days enjoying each other’s company and continuing their research, but their tranquil time must soon come to an end. Not long after the start of her second year at the academy, Amelia is tasked with her first official duty as the fiancée of a prince—traveling to the foreign Kingdom of Janaki to bring back the princess who is to wed Second Prince Est. Her mission may end up being harder than she realizes, but Amelia feels emboldened by the company of her friends, and most importantly, the prince who continues to shower her with his affection. (Source: J-Novel Club)

Amelia and the Problematic Princess

The Princess Who Will not be Wed

Escaping the clutches of a psychologically abusive ex and getting engaged to Sarge, the second volume of this romantic fantasy picks up with Amelia preparing to perform her first official duty. Travelling to the Kingdom of Janaki to escort Prince Est’s potential fiancée back to Bedeiht, it isn’t long after their arrival that trouble begins to rear its ugly head.

Whilst the betrothal to solidify relations between Janaki and Bedeiht is almost set, Princess Chloe has her aims set on other aspirations. In the interim, Chole’s heart has come to belong elsewhere, falling in love with a sweet talker named Alois.

A conflict between duty and free will could’ve come into play here as the big conflict of the first half. Whether the need for merging relations is worth overruling the inevitable trauma that Princess Chloe would suffer. This is circumnavigated, however, perhaps for the best, given that this series falls more towards light-hearted than serious.

The heart of the issue then; falls onto Alois’ shoulders. Much less a sweet talker and more skilled manipulator, his actual identity is that of the leader of the Beltz Empire, and he’s not come to the other side of the mountains for a peace mission. As one of the few magic users of the empire, he planned to use his powers of mind-manipulating magic to take over the Kingdom and get a foothold for further expansion. 

Discovering that Princess Chloe had been manipulated by a strong magic user leads to one of the few failings of the story. Having two characters suffer similar circumstances of psychological abuse, it is strange to see the author not dedicate a larger section of the story to Amelia helping Chloe through the emotional scars she’s suffered.

Survival in the Empire

Upon being caught in the act, the second half of the novel moves away from neutral ground as Alois’ magic sends Amelia, Sarge and Kaid over to the Beltz Empire.

Just hoping to survive until they can reach the safety of the border, the time both Sarge and Amelia spend together here is some of the most important in the series so far. With a huge stressor of a hostile environment, it provides a perfect opportunity to test the metal of their relationship, and with Sarge taken ill along the way, it gives Amelia the confidence that she can solve problems on her own as well.

Making it back safely after a few hiccups, the whole truth is revealed about Alois’ history and the horrible techniques of the empire. As a result, Alois is given a lighter sentence, whilst the Beltz Empire has an opportunity to change under new leadership.

Overall, whilst not providing as strong a mystery as its predecessor, the second volume in the Royal Rebound saga offers an abundance of strong relationship dynamics between Amelia and Sarge.

Furthermore, expanding the series into the Beltz Empire has opened up the truth on the speculation constantly provided over the two volumes. With a third volume confirmed it’ll be interesting to see where the author takes the series next.

Cover Illustration for Volume 1

Synopsis:

Amelia is a studious young countess and water mage. Her fiancé, Reese, is the second son of a marquis and wields earth magic, a desirable skill for the agricultural domain that Amelia’s father rules. The couple grew up together and has always gotten along well, so their happy future together seems certain. Yet after Reese enters the Royal Academy of Magic, Amelia loses all contact with him. Although she assumes he’s just busy with his studies, when she enters the academy a year later herself, her classmates inexplicably ostracize her as Reese continues to avoid her. Throughout this confusing ordeal, the isolated and anxious Amelia finds comfort in the kindness of Sarge, the fourth prince, who seems to have taken an interest in her… (Source: J-Novel Club)

From Research Partners to Lovers!

Lonely First Days

Reputation can be a big thing in schools. Whether good or bad, they shape our adolescent experiences. For Amelia, she seems to have gotten a reputation before she even arrives at the academy and even without her realising it.

The beginnings of this volume play out almost like a mystery series. You’re kept guessing as to why Amelia is continually isolated and why her fiancé constantly avoids her. Unfortunately, both incidents are linked, and Amelia’s fiancé Reese has been doing more than just spreading rumours.

Reese is the textbook example of an abuser. Insidious and manipulative, ever since he entered the academy, he’s been sowing the seeds of hate against Amelia telling classmates that she’s getting in the way of his love story. He causes Amelia great pain in the process, and he does this all to ensure that his family doesn’t have to pay back the money Amelia’s family gave them.

Additionally, Reeses’ abusive behaviour doesn’t stop after he and his new lover leave the academy to elope. Returning to try and break apart Amelia and Sarge’s happiness, he uses his controlling behaviour to get Amelia to turn traitor, becoming a water mage alongside Reese in the empire. He doesn’t succeed thanks to Sarge’s persistence.

In the Heat of Research

Once the nastiness with Reese is dealt with, the story changes from more of a mystery to one filled with romance and fluff. Whilst starting the year isolated took its toll on her, she’s able to meet with people she truly trusts as a result.

Sarge serves as a beacon of light for Amelia at her side through her darkest hours; it’s easy to see why he becomes the main love interest. The two bond over their mutual interest in research, analysis and data. It’s a cute and sweet love story overall. The two are often found in the library growing closer over agricultural stats and figures.

Others close to Amelia are Prince Julius and Marie. Both are great friends and play an instrumental part in getting Amelia and Sarge together. Prince Julius’ reenactment magic comes in especially handy, perhaps even too handy, being able to recreate specific moments, the truth of Reeses’ activities is laid bare.

Mixing mystery elements and fluffy romance moments makes A Royal Rebound a solid addition to the ever-growing number of J-Novel Heart titles. Whilst most of the praise should go to its central couple, the side characters come over just as well-rounded as we learn about their own romantic endeavours.

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian Vol. 2 Review

Tags: Comedy, Drama, Romance, School Life, Slice of Life

Sub-Tags: Cute, Strong Lead, Character Growth

Cover Illustration for Volume 2

Synopsis:

After saying some pretty embarrassing things to each other, Alya and Masachika are trying to figure out the nature of their changing relationship. Alya’s feeling a bit flustered now that she’s seeing more of his “cool” side, but she needs to clear her mind and be ready for rivals popping out of the woodwork. One of Masachika’s childhood friends doesn’t approve of her, and his former middle school election opponent throws down the gauntlet. The campaign to win the student council election begins in earnest with the first debate! Maybe some adversity will at least help to bring the two a little closer… (Source: Yen Press)

Debates Always Come When you Least Expect them!

Even Sweeter Whispers

As a consequence of some embarrassing things said at the end of the previous volume, the relationship between Alya and Masachika has become rather awkward as the two navigate the uncharted waters of blossoming feelings. At the start of volume 2, neither is sure where to move next, and it’s ultimately Masachika that decides to take them back towards the status quo for the sake of their student council president run.

Whilst they may think they’ve got this newfound momentum under control, these feelings can always pop up in unexpected ways, and as a result, the love language of Alya’s Russian has intensified. No longer satisfied with torturing Masachika with constant confessions, her thoughts have now turned to marriage.

Their unsubtle behaviour has also caught the attention of the student council and classmates. What with the inside jokes and constant flirting, the second volume surely won’t disappoint when it comes to cute scenes and fluffy moments.

The Student Council

Once the two can be bothered to take themselves away from their flirting, the main plot of the second volume consists of the two formulating a game plan for defeating Yuki in the upcoming council elections. Due to the large gap in voters between Alya and Yuki, Masachika suggests using an underdog story to start garnering support during the first official debate. 

Before they can get there, there are a few roadblocks in their way. The first involves a welcome party at the student council for new members, one of which is from Masachika’s past.

Masachika always knew that running alongside Alya would cause problems, and Ayano is just the first of many. One of his former family’s servants, she questions Masachika’s motives both as someone who knew him and as Yuki’s running mate.

As for the student council itself, this volume serves as more of a proper introduction to each individual member. Using Majong as a tool, the author does a great job of illuminating each member’s character – perhaps unsurprisingly, Masachika, Yuki and the student council president all have a scheming side to them.

A Surprise Debate

A second roadblock comes in the form of a surprise debate. It seems Ayano isn’t the only one unhappy at Alya and Masachika running for council president. Yuki’s former rival, Sayaka, has decided to debate them to see if they’re serious.

This is an important event in Alya and Masachika’s development for president. For the reader, these scenes solidify the roles both will play going forward. Alya will come in with the factual sides of the debate, whilst Masachika will play at moral support and emotional arguments. As the two work together, they’re able to defeat their first opponent and gain a reputation in time for their debate against Yuki.

Overall, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings’ second volume continues to provide all the cute moments of the first whilst digging deep into the main plot of the story. This is coupled with some interesting character dynamics and great comedic scenes. As a result, this series’ second volume continues to come highly recommended.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady Vol. 3 Review

Cover Illustration for Volume 3

Synopsis:

Anisphia becomes the ruler of Palettia, but her fight with her younger brother, Algard, has caused all sorts of problems. Watching Anisphia slowly become more and more exhausted, Euphyllia finally decides to step in. But that is the last thing Anisphia wants, and she refuses to give up. The reincarnated princess and the genius young lady now have to face each other for their future together.  (Source: Yen Press)

The Insecurities of a Princess!

First in Line to the Throne

Rounding off the series’ first arc, the latest volume in the story focuses almost exclusively on Anis and Euphyllia – diving deep into their characters. This volume deals directly with the aftermath of her brother’s exile and subsequent moving of her up to ruler in waiting.

This forced change in her position means more responsibility and an end to her magicology experiments. Whilst she wears a smile through the changes, telling everyone that becoming the next Queen is her responsibility, those around her suspect the truth of her feelings to be something entirely different.

For Anis, this volume results in a deep exploration of her character, bringing to light her issues and insecurities that have been slowly bubbling to the surface. Imposter syndrome and the need to live up to a parent’s expectations are all dealt with as part of the story, all of which are handled maturely through a multi-faceted approach.

Telling the truth, the story doesn’t just deal with Anis and Euphyllia exclusively, as the volume is a family affair as well. Reading how Anis wished to be the expected daughter talented with magic is an emotional affair. None more so than for her mother, who, after only recently seeing her son fall to ruin, is now facing the true extent of her daughter’s fears.

Furthermore, the emotions keep running as Euphyllia has her turn to make her feelings known. Subsequently, Anis reveals for the first time that she has memories of a past life and struggles with feeling like a fake. It’s an interesting look into how reincarnators fit into their new surroundings, a subject not often explored in isekai series.

For Whom the Spirits Shine

Euphyllia has demons of her own to deal with as part of this volume. Determination has been a big issue holding her back from seeking her own happiness. Anis’ new position makes for the ultimate test for Euphyllia, as a potential solution to both of their problems will require her to put her own selfish desires first.

Euphyllia has all the makings of a spirit covenantor. One of the only conditions that can circumvent the lines of succession as it leans into the legends of the first king of Palettia. Becoming a covenantor doesn’t come without drawbacks, and Euphyllia will need to make a choice about whether losing her humanity is worth saving Anis’ dreams and starting a new age.

A clashing of insecurities and strong ideals leads to Anis and Euphyllia becoming closer, opening up emotionally and learning to rely on each other. This scene is especially special and one I think audiences will be waiting for.

…Towards the Future

Founding a new era of cooperation between magic and magicology closes out the volume. After the heavy emotional subjects, this part of the story serves as a welcome light-hearted break.

To improve the lives of everyone is Palettia, they invent flying machines that’ll take everyone to the sky. A mark of progress and a potential source of joy for the future.

Overall, Magical Revolution’s third volume, and by extension, the first arc, is an overwhelming success. It is a series that deals with emotional and psychological issues with great maturity and blends these themes masterfully alongside its lighthearted comedic moments. There are very few light novel series that hits quite like this one.

Cover Illustration for Volume 1

Synopsis:

We all have embarrassing memories or deep regrets from high school, right? Socially anxious college senior Natsuki Haibara sure does. When he thinks back on that time of his life, all he has are fleeting fantasies of a happy adolescence that could have been. Imagine his bewilderment and surprise, then, when he inexplicably finds himself seven years in the past—one month before his first year of high school! Can Haibara avoid his previous mistakes, make his way to the top of the school social pyramid, and end up with the girl of his dreams? Or will he be forced to relive three years of solitude as the most hated guy in school? He’ll need all the help he can get in order to succeed, from a workout regimen to online how-to guides, a childhood friend, and plenty of sheer willpower. Watch as Haibara takes a second shot at his teenage years! (Source: J-Novel Club)

Haibara’s Rainbow-Coloured High School Dream!

Returning to pre-pubs and romcoms for my next review, JNC’s latest series features time leaps and the necessity for a perfect high-school experience.

Haibara’s New Game focuses on Natsuki, a gloomy, introverted college student who is unexpectedly thrust back into the past. After returning to his high-school days, he’ll use this opportunity to make his ultimate wish come true; become friends with the group that shunned him and pursue romantic endeavours with his dream girl. However, what Natsuki’ll learn is that nothing is ever that simple!

All About the Restart!

Time-leaps. Whilst not a novel concept in romcoms, it can be elevated through new angles and avenues.

This series should be commended for its focus on character dynamics and interpersonal relationships rather than starting strong on the romance element. After all, Natsuki’s main goal for returning to his high-school years is to make friends with the group he alienated.

These friends are extroverts amongst extroverts, each with their role to play within the group and something by which they centralise their identity on. Miori comes out on top in terms of the most well-rounded character. A helper in Natsuki’s plan for a rosy high-school debut, she has a good grasp on the efforts that Natsuki goes through and the insecurities of others within the group. Moreover, she’s not shy in trying to get what she wants.

Miori and the rest of the side characters introduced are, certainly for the first volume, the series’ best aspect and form the basis of the volume’s drama setting – Natsuki, the group’s interloper and seemingly perfect human.

A Romance Sets Off!

With Natsuki coming off as a perfect superhuman, his actions, as you can imagine, gain a lot of attention, especially from women.

Hoshimiya is meant to be the main romantic love interest of the series. She doesn’t get much in the way of scenes with Natsuki, however, what we get is quite good, especially in showing their chemistry together.

A more apparent romance blossoms toward the end of the volume. Uta has fallen for Natsuki. A more naturally occurring love story, they work well together and share more than just being in the same friend circle.

Unfortunately, this romance has unexpected consequences leading to Tatsuya’s withdrawal from the group, as it turns out, he has feelings for Uta and an ever-growing jealousy at what he perceives Natsuki to be, a superhuman.

What follows is a well-played-out drama sequence. To rebuild their friendship and achieve his perfect high-school life, Natsuki’ll have to show his true personality and break away from the facade he uses to keep up with a group of extroverts.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Natsuki?

During this truth-telling session, Natsuki makes a massive speech about himself and Tatsuya’s actions. A big end piece it may be, it only serves to highlight the series’ biggest problem so far, Natsuki.

The man never comes over as sympathetic and instead comes over as highly self-centred. Everyone has to act in the way he imagines for his high-school life to be perfect. At several points throughout the volume, it’s made clear what his true motivations are. Rather than worry over his supposed friend’s insecurities, his focus is on the fact that he’s not acting as he remembers. This is amplified further when Hoshimiya shows concern, worrying more about the possibility that she might have feelings for him than concluding that she’s a friend where showing concern should be considered natural.

Returning to his big speech, I don’t feel as though Natsuki has earned what he says. For instance, calling Tatsuya a coward when he is yet to confess is highly hypocritical. This is only added to how hollow everything sounds coming from someone who’s having a second go at things.

Overall, Haibara’s New Game has some great elements, including its use of character dynamics, I just don’t think this series is for me. The series features a very unlikeable protagonist with a self-centred personality, and that’s on top of the usual denseness towards anything and everything. As it goes now, I’m unlikely to continue this series into a second volume.
