Volume 1 of "The Abandoned Fourth Princess Will Not Return to Her Homeland" Comic Adaptation Released
Today, on April 7th, the first volume of Sayaka Hiritaka’s comic adaptation, "The Abandoned Fourth Princess Will Not Return to Her Homeland", was officially released by Takeshobo. This highly anticipated manga is based on the original light novel series written by Yuumi Kazami, with compositions handled by Asafumi. Fans of the source material are already quite excited to see how this dramatic story of exile and redemption translates into the visual medium of manga.
The Legend of the Fourth Princess: Disaster or Good Fortune?
In the Kingdom of Fral, there is an ancient and somewhat scary tradition regarding the royal line. It is believed that the fourth princess born into the family is a vessel for extreme luck—either bringing total disaster or incredible good fortune to the entire kingdom. Unfortunately for our protagonist, Mirir, she was born into this role but was physically very weak and constantly falling ill. Because of her poor health, her own family began to see her as a useless burden rather than a blessing. This eventually led to her being heartlessly exiled from her home country when she was still just a young girl.
A New Life and a Secret Identity
After being thrown out, Mirir’s life took a turn when she was rescued by a margrave family from a neighbouring country. To protect herself and leave her painful past behind, she decided to hide her true identity. She changed her name from Meeril to Myril and started fresh. This is one major reason why the abandoned fourth princess is a must read, as it shows her transition from a discarded royal to someone finding her own feet in a foreign land.
Rising Misfortune in the Kingdom of Fral
While Mirir is building her new life, things back in the Hural royal family are going from bad to worse. Since her disappearance, the kingdom has been struck by a series of misfortunes. Realizing their mistake (or perhaps just being selfish), the royal family now wants to take Meeril back by force. They believe her presence is necessary to stop the decline of their house. However, Mirir has no intention of returning to the people who abandoned her when she needed them most.
Key Elements of Mirir's Journey:
- Mastering Herbology: Instead of wallowing in sadness, Mirir starts studying the world of plants and herbs.
- Becoming a Pharmacist: She discovers a massive hidden talent for medicine and begins to grow as a professional pharmacist.
- The Margrave's Support: Her new family provides the safety she never felt in Fral, allowing her personality to truly shine.
The story is a very emotional ride about a girl who was treated like a curse but eventually found her own strength. This new volume really captures that essence perfectly. If you are into stories about overcoming trauma and starting over, you will definitely understand why the abandoned fourth princess is a must read for manga enthusiasts this season.
