So some friends of mine have been bothering me to write for their comics blog. I finally got around to it.

The story goes like these: Iono, queen of a small country, decides that her collection of thousands of sobame (alternately translated as both “lady-in-waiting” and “concubine”) doesn’t have enough black-haired girls in it, so she comes to Japan to pick up some more. Along the way, a bespectacled university drop-out falls for her, a soba chef accidentally gets picked up and falls in love with another member of the harem, a jilted princess bride tries to get back at Iono for abandoning her, and various other absurd romantic drama gets calmly resolved. Also, a civil war breaks out between factions of her sobame back in her home country who are becoming increasingly starved for attention while their queen is off having escapades in Japan.

You can read the article here. Or just go read the comic itself.
