In 2020, Kenkyo na Circle 's novels were turned into a manga by Yōsuke Kokuzawa and Meru through Kodansha 's Magazine Pocket app. On Thursday, Kodansha will release the 20th volume of this manga series.
Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Prince Lloyd wasn't always a prince...in fact, his previous life is one he remembers perfectly: he was a sorcerer, of sorts. So when he was forced to reincarnate, he decided to continue his studies, prince of the realm or no! But his new life has its own sets of challenges...including being a 10-year-old! What's the 7th prince/sorcerer to do?!
In October 2019, Kenkyo na Circle introduced their new series on the Let's Become Novelists website. Kodansha later published this light novel with illustrations by Meru in July 2020. The tenth volume of this light novel was released in Japan on June 30th.
