Short sweet fluff slice of life vibe story told from first person POV.

ML is a cute doggy knight, MC is... a bit too wishy what for my taste but overall a very light hearted read in Japanese manga style.

I LOVE THIS.

HOLY MOTHER- I just, really like this.

The MC is such a loveable tsundere, the ML is such a gentle puppy-like guy! I LOVEEEEE ITT!

This is a short story, and it's so sweet. We have a truly cute tsundere of a MC and a cute puppy-like ML. I really enjoyed their relationship, it felt so good having read this after reading a blood sucking, mind numbing long-ass novel...

Ah, bliss...

I loved it! I’m not one for the fantasy aspect in BL’s, but I may have to reconsider that now! It was light on the fantasy, in my opinion, so maybe that’s why I also enjoyed it. The characters are cute, the story was interesting, funny at times, heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and lovely. I, personally, love the “bed scenes”, if you will... in BL’s, and this had several very hot scenes. I loved that, too! I loved it.

A typical yaoi manga in novel form. ML comes crashing in from another universe and disrupts MC's salaryman life in a good way. MC got used to the companionship with ML, and misses ML greatly when ML inevitably returns to his world. Happy ending. Overall, nothing overly special, but is kinda cute (and smutty).

This is novel is gold!!

The interactions bet the MC and the ML is super cute. 🤭 The plot developement is also just right.

The heart wrenching scenes reallymakes one cry and glad to have a happy ending at the end.

The translation is also awesome being able to perfectly deliver the plot well. 🙂 This is really one of the worthy to binge read.

Cough* not relatable at all.. A hopeless single man bogged down by the routine of aimless life.. *cough*... suddenly given his own prince charming *sigh ?
The happy ending will make you smile and immediately move on because things like these really only happen in books haha.
Good smut, feel good story. Fluffy sweet.

I thought this was a super cute short story! I really liked the personalities of both the MC and the ML and I thought the concept was pretty cute. It was pretty cute and soft and the ending wrenched at my heart strings a little!! I'm a sucker for these kinds of novels wawawa!!

I accidentally hit 5 stars but I would probably put it as 4 stars because I wasn't so much of a fan of ... more>>
Spoiler

putting on a womanly "wife" traits on the MC. But that's more for the sequel if anything

Ahhh~ this is sweetness and bitterswet sadness rolled into 19 chapters and 3 extras~ sooo good! It's a great read whenever you're up for a break and read an emotional roller coaster (and smutty *insert wiggling eyebrows*) short story.

Since this was a short story, I expected it to be some fluffy cute romance. Sort of like those one-volume manga you read when you have nothing much to do. Well, this novel really delivers. It's really cute and soft, but at the same time will make you sob. I certainly wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's a good and fun read.

I would give it 5 ⭐️

It's such a beautiful love story between two individuals from different worlds. I loved it so much that I read it twice.

This book is told from Azusa's perspective. The sequel titled Brought my wife back from another world is told from Ilias's perspective.

I so highly recommend it. It's a short read and I wished there was more!

Adorable story, the relationship dynamic was cute and funny. When I read the summary I thought it reminded me of The Knight Before Christmas movie so that's why I started this (too bad the knight didn't have a name like Sir Cole so everyone thinks 'his name is Circle?' lol. The MC is an adorable tsundere and the knight is not like some useless guy from a primitive time, he's a cool and adaptive guy that has a lot of cute sides. It's a short read but I felt that... more>> it was very easy to get into and I quickly got attached to the characters.

Also, before I started reading I was worried by "procrastinatorpro's" review about the MC's misogynist view and the 'role of a woman' but I think they must not have read the story properly or they read it with some weird prejudice in mind because there is none of that in the story.

Spoiler

When the knight comes he assumes the daily chores in return for staying at the MC's house, but why is this not viewed as 'taking the role of the woman?' When a salaryman goes to another world and has no skills to utilize and turns to taking care of the house just like his partner did, going even so far as to take a part-time job to keep busy, why is this interpreted as a lack of independence? We also don't see like, any interaction with women so why is it that MC has a lack of disrespect towards woman and only view them for their body? There isn't even a hint of this, there's only like two scenes where the women MC works with are viewed as scary because they're overly strong-willed and a scene at the end where MC describes his new coworker in the new world and she is described with big b**bs and a cute face while being super tall while having an overly affectionate personality but no suitors.

[collapse]

Anyways, don't pay attention to unfounded opinions, read this with peace of mind. It's a great story. <<less

Hmm. It's cute. Our MC is a typical salaryman and our ML is a typical gentleman knight. In ML's world, MC is considered beautiful and men can marry other men. So, when ML transmigrated and seeing how MC is so open to him... Hilarity ensues XD

Thanks Ars BL Translations for translating this!!

I definitely loved it! It was a really sweet story.

I loved the tsundere personality of the MC, because it was the perfect mix of tsun-tsun and dere-dere, neither too aggressive and nor too sweet. And of course, the ML was a really doting lover, and I had loved him too.

Un short, one of my favorite BL novels.

Initially, I was very reluctant in picking this up despite the good reviews. I just felt that these 19 chapters won't satisfy me and will leave me hanging. But man, I was SO wrong.

And it actually became one of my favorites, too. This story is so fluffy, it's so cute! Both ML and MC have their own charms, I really love them. It doesn't feel rushed and there is no winding useless drama (which I usually hate). Just the right pacing of two people slowly falling in love.

So, will I... more>> read this again? Absolutely, YES!? <<less

It's sweet, cute fluff. Since it's so short we get all that fluff without it overstaying its welcome.

Now that I've read more novels like this I've come back to edit this old review. Wiped the old one clean so here I review again.

Give it around a 4.5 now. It's still as good as I remembered it but my pool of novelupdate novels is larger (grown through the years) so I know some even better novels on here hence why it sank a tad from the 5 star I gave it orginally.

It's cute. Still remember it years later and how much I liked it. If you're looking for... more>> a soft and fluffy little read, this can do the trick

I don't remember being stressed or anything over this novel and remember walking away raving about it. <<less
