This is an amazing extra tidbit! Thanks for sharing this!
I have tried reading LN for these types of manga but... can't seem to get into the style of writing for some reason.

A whole chapter full of handsome men discussing (sort of) about love. If I'm in her shoes, I wouldn't mind at all! Why are they all so shiny?!
I want to see all of them fall in love and be all blushing with the women of their choosing!!
I approve of teasing Albert. More please!

I suppose so, but the buff soldier lady's (forgot her name) brother was kinda 'spared' in a way, and was asked to work together. Sure, he's begrudgingly doing so and he's not their official vassal I think.
Eh, I guess that's a different case considering his sister was the one that asked Ars. The (villain) brothers' motivation are probably different, too.

eeyyy, *takes Leeches off your hand, gets my blood sucked, loses blood, passes out*
w-worth it!

None of them were the medicinal knowledge vassals though. A bit surprised to see an IV during somewhat-medieval times buuut let's not worry about it too much. Would be funny if they try to cure him with ..those things that sucks blood? Forgot the English name. Put it on the womb and 'suck' the poison out. That seems medieval-ly.

Oh that's great to know! So it's not like those horror stories sometimes depicted in fiction where it's simply 'business relationship' and actually cares about compatibility.
I suppose having a match maker would help lessen the time to find the 'right person', it'd help if you have an idea of what you want/like--I assume pedigree and achievements also play in part for this.

Thanks for your insight into this! You know quite a lot about the process.

I wonder if one can build love simply because you're engaged. I know some cultures still have arranged marriage and I've seen someone being interviewed about how good it was (because their partners are usually searched and picked by their parents).
Still, must be an odd feeling that you have to love this one stranger forever.

Could also be the same assumption that their engagement will be broken because he's not gonna be 'fit' to be the next count's heir or something, since he'll be going abroad or doing something else.
"One day you'll be married to my brother instead, so don't bother building a relationship with me."

wasn't it revealed that he was the bully that Uichi saved back in middle school? Or was that still just Yotsuha's assumption?
Sure we don't know how he looks now, but he's got long-ish black hair, slumped, gloomy look, just looking to be bullied.
I'm more trying to understand why he's upset at Uichi for saving him. Maybe he's a maso that liked being bullied.

who knows? Maybe this will lead him to winning a lot so it goes 'well' for him but... I mean, I'm sure he'll lose something in the process.

I feel like it's harder to ask because he sees how hard she's working and he doesn't want to bother her when she's chasing her dreams.
Japanese romance seems to have that tendency 😅

I'm sorry, how FAST did he draw that painting?! Even commissioning digital artist can't be that fast.
I checked and today was just 'the day of the ceremony' without any info of how many days have passed, so it could be weeks, for all we know. But would Virge wait weeks just to get into Ars? Lower their guard and bang! Attack him with an old man.

Edit: y'know what? nvm, I forgot that he was able to draw a portrait of Ars within a few seconds after seeing him.

wasn't there an issue early on the chapters, where the author's drawing of the world's map kept changing? XD
I remember seeing the translator's note about it. So y'know what? I'm not surprised if he did.
I think even Oda-sensei, author of One Piece, also forgot some of the stuff he wrote about his characters / story. It was in his SBS or interview of OPLA. Forgot.

Kinda funny that Karashi's manager isn't being shown to be talking to anyone, not even the girls are acknowledging her, even though she's more of a friend than Hikaru's manager who's basically just a worker.
Male manager and Taison were talked to. All of a sudden, the three girls looked happily playing fireworks.

Also, I wonder how hard it is to walk on a beach with high heels. Dont they sink? Hikaru put her heels back on after getting her feet wet on a sandy beach, must've felt uncomfortable!

Some people do end up being together not for the reason of love and commitment, but to have someone beside them. People shouldn't marry because otherwise they'll feel lonely, coz when their partner is away for any reason, they'll seek other people. I'm generalizing, of course, there're many reasons as to why people don't stay faithful. I haven't really seen much romance manga where they cheat on their partner though.
There's another slice of life Mobuko No Koi / A Side Character's Love Story that, spoiler warning, an ldr occured and the author introduced a 2nd love interest when their relationship was shaking, but it didn't happen. Especially since it took effort for them to get together in the first place. So, uh, if you want to feel a bit hopeful in the fiction world, you can try reading that? Sorry for the spoiler though.
In this website, it's written as Mobuko's Love.

They did say they never really check quest boards / usually in a rush, so maybe that's why they didn't realize. The other group should've realized it but maybe they trust Hiroki's ability too much? The guild receptionist should at least say something though.

maybe she'll spill a bit about her parents? She wants passive income because something something parents. Then, a sudden flashback arc!

yeah, the hate towards the teacher were pretty concerning. But such is the internet nowadays. It's easy for people to wish harm on others if there's no consequences.

I wonder what this scene will be like as an anime...

Wow, an adult who can give such a heartfelt speech about being thankful to a child. I hope that happens in real life too.
