    Description
    In a certain kingdom, one knight among the new recruits is a little different from the rest. He possesses a special magic ability called "kairaijutsu" (puppetry magic) thereby manipulating his own body, and is always protecting his friend who's often mistaken for a girl.

    But the truth is—he is the one who's actually a girl! Not only his gender but his age, social status and even health are all falsified too!

    Manipulating the actions of his friends like they're dancing in the palm of his hand while taking it easy flying around—such is the story (and personality!) of the "sagishi" (con-man) knight Ruze...

    I've been wondering why this story that already exists since 2011 with a Manga Adaptation that started in 2015 hasn't been picked up and fan-translated by anyone yet...:hmm:

    It does seem interesting so a +1 for it, but as for why no one picked it up yet, it is likely because the raws come from alphapolis and you have to pay.

    To be fair 1 volume is barely $4

    No, I'm with you on that. I usually buy LNs anyways for the illustrations, but I know a lot of fan translators don't want to buy anything.

    Sadge. Not only is it one of the easiest ways of giving back to the author, it's also affordable and gets you nice illustrations.
