In the June issue of Ichijinsha’s Monthly Comic Zero-Sum magazine, it was revealed last Friday that Yui Kikuta’s manga adaptation of Yui’s Bibliophile Princess novels will be going on hiatus, with plans to resume sometime this fall.
Instead of the manga, the magazine will publish an announcement manga in the next issue on May 28 to commemorate the release of the upcoming ninth compiled book volume, which will also ship on the same date.
J-Novel Club, which publishes the manga in English, provides the following description of the story:
“When book-loving Lady Elianna spots Prince Christopher—her betrothed in name only—consorting with another noble lady, she realizes the recent rumors must be true. The prince has someone he truly loves, which means the annulment of their engagement is both inevitable and fast approaching. What she doesn’t realize is that this is merely a surface ripple—one of many where the truth runs deep, in a conspiracy surpassing her imagination!”
Yui Kikuta launched the manga in Monthly Comic Zero-Sum in August 2018, with J-Novel Club releasing the manga’s seventh volume on February 28.
Yui has been serializing the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let’s Be Novelists) website since September 2015, with Ichijinsha beginning to publish the print version of the story with illustrations by Satsuki Shiina in July 2016. J-Novel Club has also licensed and is releasing the novels.
The novels inspired a television anime that premiered in October 2022, with HIDIVE streaming the anime as it aired in Japan.
