Bibliophile Princess Manga Returns from Hiatus on November 28

The December issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Zero-Sum magazine revealed on Monday that Yui Kikuta's manga adaptation of Yui's Bibliophile Princess novels is returning from hiatus in the magazine's next issue on November 28.

The manga went on hiatus earlier this year, beginning with the magazine's July issue on May 28.

J-Novel Club publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:

When book-loving Lady Elianna spots Prince Christopher-her betrothed in name only-consorting with another noble lady, she realizes the recent rumors must be true. The prince has someone he truly loves, which means the annulment of their engagement is both inevitable and fast-approaching. What she doesn't realize is that this is merely a surface ripple-one of many where the truth runs deep, in a conspiracy surpassing her imagination!

Yui Kikuta launched the manga in Monthly Comic Zero-Sum in August 2018. J-Novel Club published the manga's seventh volume on February 28.

Yui has been serializing the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Be Novelists) website since September 2015. Ichijinsha began publishing the print version of the story with illustrations by Satsuki Shiina in July 2016. J-Novel Club has also licensed and is releasing the novels.

The novels inspired a television anime that premiered in October 2022. HIDIVE streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
