//// About the Japanese novel and anime adaptations ////

Originally serialized in the bimonthly magazine Shosetsu June (小説ジュネ) spanning six chapters from December 1986 to October 1987, the novel was released with minor revisions into a hardcover edition in 1990.
This first version of the story received a two-episode/OVA anime adaptation in 1992 and 1994.

Between the years 2001 and 2007, the original story was greatly expanded upon and released in six paperback volumes. After a change of Japanese publisher, two more volumes were released between 2009 and 2010, completing the series (the six aforementioned volumes were released as volumes 1-4 in the newest Japanese edition).
This second version of the story was meant to be adapted into a twelve-episode OVA anime—initially planned to release in 2010—but was postponed to 2012, only to be discontinued after the fourth episode’s release.

//// About the English translation ////

The English paperback expanded edition is made up of eight volumes: the six first volumes (Seibido/Crystal edition) + the two later volumes (#7 and #8 in English, but #5 and #6 in the newest Tokuma/Chara edition).
The change in Japanese publisher led to a change in translator for the English edition between vol1 to 6 and vol7 to 8: it is highly recommended to read the fan translations of #7 and #8 as opposed to reading the licensed edition, due to the massive loss in translation (expect a 50% word count difference between the two).

//// Current translation status of the different editions of the novel (as of April 20th, 2024) ////

. Shosetsu June edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation.
. 1990 hardcover edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation. An older fan translation had 4/6 chapters translated but the project was dropped.
. 2000’s expanded edition, English licensed: fully translated, complete.

//// Drama CDs, prequel and side stories ////

– The Shosetsu June story was adapted into a drama cassette and a drama CD (Dark Erogenous).
– The expanded story was adapted into three drama CDs (Destiny, Nightmare, Resonance)
– A prequel called Midnight Illusion was serialized in Shosetsu June between December 1992 and April 1993, and released as a hardcover in 1996. 3/6 chapters have been fan-translated into English.
– The 5 side stories have all been fan-translated into English (Kizu/Wound, File-0, Cal’s Sighs, Musk, Illusion Night) and are based on the expanded version of the novel.

There were two geniuses at Chez Chambre Academy.... more>>

Delilah Erika, loved by everyone, and Eric Briar loved by no one.

One day, Eric unintentionally rejects Delilah’s request to sit beside him.

After that, the contempt and ostracism toward Eric only intensified, and Delilah secretly visits Eric’s room at night…

After their secret meeting, Delilah routinely visits Eric’s room.

And as the secret meetings go on, the more they fall for one another.

However, the two are well aware that a relationship can never be achieved, so they decide to share everything, except for “love” only.

Except for “love” only.

“You’ll regret it, nuna.”

“I won’t.”

Actually, she might regret it, but she won’t regret everything that’s happened with Eric.

“…Except for love.”

“…Yes, except for love.”

Confirming till the end, Eric’s voice sounded not only a little cruel but kind as long as someone did not covet his heart.

Eric’s hand gently took her chin and tilted her face upward. Delilah tightly screwed her eyes shut, and their lips met in a natural sequence.

But she was glad. She could keep seeing him.

Delilah closed her eyes again. The kiss grew deeper and deeper. As the night deepened, so did their touches, and when Delilah let out a cry, Eric swallowed her sobbing moan with his lips. <<less

Upon reaching adulthood, Michele, the youngest son of a noble family from the South, found himself sent to the North for marriage, as though he were being sold off.... more>>

The other party was the lord of the cold North, Ian Sheleg.

In a bid to salvage his declining family, Michele resolved himself to take in a thirty-five-year-old man whose face he had never even seen as his “wife.”

However, the place he arrived at wasn’t the promised castle, but a small mansion…

“My name is ‘Ain,’ and I’ll be serving Sir Anatold for the next month in place of my master.”

The one waiting for Michele was not “Ian Sheleg,” but a servant named “Ain.” He was informed that, for whatever reasons, “Ian Sheleg” had become entangled in urgent business and had sent a servant who resembled him in his stead, but…

The North and the South were lands as different as winter and spring. It was for the sake of taking a month’s time to educate Michele, who was unfamiliar with the North, about its etiquette and culture before the marriage.

“Shall I tell you more about my master, or shall I teach you the ways to win his affections?” asked “Ain,” with his black hair, blue eyes, and his cold features and voice that resembled his master’s.

“…Okay! Teach me how to win Lord Sheleg’s affections!”

A crossroad of choice. Michele, who had grown up being loved by his brothers like a flower in a greenhouse, now desired to be loved by his “wife” as well.

“…B-but why are you taking your clothes off?”

“Hadn’t I told you? I will teach you how to win my master’s affections within a night’s time.”

“This was what you meant?!”

And so, the training to win “Ian Sheleg’s” affections continued regardless of day and night.

“Just… just as my first partner was you, I want your last partner to be me, forever.”

And Michele was left to experience first love alone, something no one had taught him—not his brothers in the South, nor the “Ain” in the North…

A servant who looked identical to his master.
