The main character is dense... But at the same time not. I know, confusing. This may just be my personal opinion, but U really like these otome game type of Isekai, with a male lead who knows what happens. I find it nice. HOWEVER. I don't like the fact that kids are supposedly know it alls in this manga. Like yeah. Sure. Of course they have importance as nobles of their world or whatever. But really? Making factions are what not. At like 7 years old. It's stupid and honestly kinda weird. This story has a lot potential if done right. And I wanna see where the author will lead it to.

The rare otome manga from the perspective of the male lead, the author doesn't disappoint in giving us another perspective in a world fraught with factions and status. In this genre, there have been plenty of maids taking the reigns and changing their fate but this is refreshing because the male lead is a butler and doesn't have romance as his primary objective. He's strong and capable, which increases our attraction for him, yet he knows how to tread conversations as if they were a battlefield. From its unassuming cover and plot summary, one wouldn't think that this was different from its peers, which is the greatest downfall of this manga. It's fresh and clean, tightly introduces the characters and emphasizes their importance, without making us forget the main goal of the characters. Although the worldbuilding isn't as iconic or notable as other mangas, the relationships of the characters they introduce as definitely worth reading and seeing in action.   The art style is clean and concise; it actually reminded me of Horikoshi's Boku No Hero in terms of framing and facial expressions. If you agree, please let me know that I'm not the only one that thinks so too! There are clear instances where you can see just how inspired the artist is after Horikoshi's style. If I didn't know any better, I would say that they made this manga too. Give it a try if you want another look at the genre!

Cyril is an exceedingly competent butler, twelve years of age. Fe has taught the otome game's villainess Sofia to also be exceedingly competent. The two of them are both the objects of admiration and the center of some love triangles because of their exceeding competence. I find the way they navigate entangled social situations with grace and intelligence to be pretty neat and I find the romance to be pretty cute. It's an enjoyable enough series.
