Thank you very much for spending time with I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness (or Crash Course in Naughtiness for short), volume two.
Once again, we were able to publish this second volume thanks to the efforts of many people.
There’s a lot packed into this book—Allen and Charlotte’s relationship progresses, Charlotte makes the decision to move forward in the future, and at times, the strange Capybara that features prominently on the cover steals the show (?). All in all, it has the hallmarks of the hurly-burly, heartwarming rom-com that it’s meant to be.
The Infernal Capybara, Gosetsu, was initially supposed to appear only in the zoo chapter of the first volume, but when it was serialized online, I received many comments from unsettled readers, like “What’s the deal with this capybara? LOL”—and as a result, she became a regular character.
Even as the author, I myself don’t know what the deal is with this rat, but when I saw the artist Sakura Miwabe’s illustration of Gosetsu, I was so glad I brought her back into the story. The Capybara and Roo the Fenrir are now lined up on the cover, enticing readers with their fluffy-chonky looks.
And this volume has not only a lot of fluffiness, but also rom-com. Since I love writing flirty, lovey-dovey scenes, I remember having a lot of fun with them here. After Allen realized his own feelings, I thought about making him worry over the question a little bit longer before his confession, but I had the feeling that this guy would go straight to the point, so it ended up going the way it did.
Another highlight for this volume is the appearance of Natalia, Charlotte’s little sister. There was a glimpse of her in the first volume, but I finally had the chance to bring her to the forefront this time.
Miwabe-sensei has drawn a mini version of her on the back cover, so that’s a must-see. I hope you enjoy finding out what she’s like when you read the story. I sure do get a kick out of writing her character.
Now, I’m coming to the end of the allotted pages, so I’ll give all my acknowledgments:
My dear editor, K. Sakura Miwabe-sensei, who did the illustrations. Ichiho Katsura-sensei, who is turning this story into a manga series. And last but not least, all of my readers. Thank you so much for your support.
Thanks to you, everyone, we’ve been able to bring out this second volume. If you found even a little bit of amusement here, I would be very happy.
Finally, the first volume of the manga is coming out at the same time as this volume. The manga artist, Ichiho Katsura-sensei, has done such a thorough job of reimagining the story as a comic, fleshing it out with detailed gestures and expressions that weren’t in the original. Allen’s ridiculousness knows no bounds, and the sky’s the limit for Charlotte’s cuteness!
I hope you’ll pick up the manga version too.
Well then, I will work hard so that I can see you again someday.
Greetings from Same.
