What happened?

In the Kingdom of Holy Dawn and Bountiful Harvest, the King split the land between his four children, however, one of the Princes killed the King and conquered the other three lands. Princess Reina had been captured and was about to be executed. Her retainer, a powerful mage, used a forbidden spell to save Reina’s soul, replacing it with another – one that was doomed to perish in another world. That soul was Naruse Soushi who was trapped in a car sinking in the sea. He blacked out and then woke in Reina’s body as she was about to be burned at the stake. He begged to be spared which was quite out of character for Reina, so they sold her into slavery instead.

Reina (Naruse) was bought by Brothel Amore and given the name Lillion. There she would repay her debt as a prostitute. Lillion was fairly pragmatic about the situation since dying would have been the end of her political career… At least now, she could earn her freedom and make something of this new life. Sure, she would have to sleep with some people, but that’s what politics is all about! Ironically, Brothel Amore was special since its clientele were entirely women. That’s right, it’s a yuri brothel!

Lillion quickly learned the order of things and was even able to get a customer. However, that turned out to be Precarie, Reina’s mage. Lillion managed to get lots of information out of Precarie and then sent her to find her a regular customer so that she could climb the ranks of Brothel Amore. Unfortunately, when the Brothel Madam, Acanthus learned that Lillion hadn’t earned any money since Precarie was broke, she was forced to do the Walk of Shame through the village. However, being an experienced politician, Lillion knew all about apologising and humbling oneself for her career!


What did you think?

I had originally planned on diving straight into another series, but every now and then, I spot a volume one of a series I’ve never heard of and think “Why not?” This was one of those why-not moments and I’m actually quite happy that I made this choice. I’m sure there will be those looking at this and condemning it for the amount of ecchi content, for how simple the characters are, or how there isn’t that much story. Sadly, I think those people may have missed the point of this series. This is most definitely a series that is making fun of politicians and I am all over that.

The Walk of Shame was probably my favourite moment in the book because of Naruse’s constant memories of his former boss and how they would prostrate themselves to apologise to the people and were willing to humble themselves for political gain. By contrast, that made what happened to Lillion fairly tame. Now, I think this might have been a very different story had Lillion been bought by a regular brothel and not a yuri one. However, she wasn’t so let’s not dwell on that thought for too long. I loved how Lillion mapped out the hierarchy of the brothel and had already come up with a plan to move up the ladder. This series is not about girl-on-girl sex… well, it is, but it’s also about politics and that alone is hilarious.

This volume was released on February 6, 2024, so it’s quite new. As such, there isn’t a second volume yet, but you can be sure that I will be picking it up when it becomes available in June.
