Synopsis
Zagan is a super-powerful sorcerer, but lives as a recluse. And now he faces his greatest test… falling in love! Zagan is feared by the masses as an evil sorcerer. Socially awkward and foul-mouthed, he spends his days studying sorcery while defeating any intruders in his area. One day, he is invited to a dark auction, and what he finds there is an elf slave of incomparable beauty, Nephy. Having fallen in love at first sight, Zagan uses all his fortune to purchase her, but being a poor conversationalist, he has no idea how to properly interact with her. Thus begins the awkward cohabitation between a sorcerer who doesn't know how to express his love and his slave who yearns for her master but has no idea how to appeal to him.
However, Hako Itagaki launched the manga adaptation of the light novel in Comic Fire in February 2018. Finally Hobby Japan published the first volume of the manga in August 2018, and the 11th volume on December 1st.
