Yashiro started the ongoing story in August 2018 on the Shousetsuka no Narou website, and TO Books published the first novel in January 2020 with illustrations by Keepout (Isekai Yakkyoku, Chichi wa Eiyuu, Haha wa Seirei, Musume no Watashi wa Tenseisha). The latest novel, number 12th, will be released on July 20th, 2024.
The novels were also adapted into a manga by Yokowake in September 2020 on TO Book’s Comic Corona manga website. The manga’s first tankoubon volume was released in March 2021, and the fifth volume in February 2024.
In a corner of the country, an obese child abandoned by his unfriendly parents lives Ageha, the eldest son of an earl’s family, who has memories of his past life as a Japanese man. Ageha meets his half-brother Regulus and discovers that he will grow up to kill him over the right to inherit the title. He is taken by the sparkling, fluffy, and innocent Regulus… and before he knows it, he has become a doting parent (brother)! Ageha accepts his future and decides to raise his younger brother.
In order to hand over as much of the rich land as possible, Ageha takes reforms one step at a time, sometimes even involving the gods, in this fantasy about managing a territory by young brothers!
