Tensei Oujo LN, cover revealed.

Left side: Julius, Lady Emma, Georg, Klaus, Christof, Johan
Right side: Leonhard, Theo, Lutz, Rosemarie(!)

 

Yay! The cover artwork as well as the character portraits have been revealed. I had intended to just box in the names for the characters, but found myself too lazy, so I will do that in the near future. For now, just go ahead and enjoy the artwork. I, uh, did not imagine some characters to look the way they did. In fact, I still prefer my image of fate/zero’s Lancer for Leonhard, but whatever! As long as my darling baby girl is cute! Which she is!

There are a few short stories that Bisu was commissioned to write for a campaign to promote the release of the first book. Unfortunately, each story is distributed across several stores, on a first come first serve basis, and uhh, there’s the problem of me having to actually be in Japan to get those. *sniff* Goodbye, short stories!

Again, the book will be on sale starting July 10th. If you can manage your way through Japanese sites well enough, or find tutorials on how to sign up and make purchases, please do support Bisu and the publisher, Frontier Works!

Support the author/publisher: Amazon.co.jp, Honto

More to be added later, especially links to English sites, when they become available. Kino, why you no let me access?!

  1. Grim, somewhat stressed-looking guy seems to Leonhard. I… don’t see the appeal?
    Rosemarie’s freaking adorable. That expression… Damn.

      1. Better than Lancer?! :O! Well, tastes vary. Whew. I’m kind of glad not everyone hates his character design. Poor dude, getting called all sorts of names. Lolicon. Geezer. Wheeew.

    1. Klaus wasn’t on the back. That’s Christof, Johan, and Georg. Even Georg made it on the cover! Poor Klaus, that sob.

      EDIT: *ahem* After a second look, that taller dude in the back IS Klaus after all.

  3. Anyone else weirded out by the fact that everyone has such big noses and yet somehow Rosemarie’s nose is just a dot?

  4. I thought the shady old man was Klaus!

    Dunno, maybe Rose has an oyaji fetish? Seriously don’t understand XD

    Also Klaus looks too pure!

  5. How come Theo and Lutz are the most significant looking out of the rest as if they were the main characters? Also Lutz looks dam smexy…♡ I can’t imagine him as a yandere. ..

    1. I’m pretty sure the majority of the chapters will include this entire arc with Lutz and Theo, which is significantly more than the first part of the story altogether. You’ll see, when I finish translating more.

  6. D’awww, Rosemarie is so cute. Out of all the designs, I have to say I like her and Georg’s(!!!) the most. Too bad his level of involvement with Rose is still at the “Georg? What’s that, can I eat it?” stage.

    Yeah, I’ll pass on Leonhard’s design… Rose, what’s so appealing about his looks? D: Makes me more inclined to support Klaus in all of his disappointing glory (not that you could tell with his design lol, makes sense). I like his design, but Theo and Lutz are cuter.

    RIP Fate/Zero mental image for ol’ Leo. Though that doesn’t stop me from substituting in some dynamic pose like this… http://i.imgur.com/I6NLNJD.jpg

    (I’m p sure wordpress doesn’t allow embedding in comments, which is totally sensible haha)

    1. Actually, it does allow embedding! And hey, you! How did you choose the exact same image I did! Lancer totally makes sense for Leonhard too. They’re both at the top of their class, and they’re knights loyal to their Kings (and princess, in this case).

  7. Omfg this is too much. Look at that pouty defiant expression. So. Darn. Cute. The others are OK I guess, but our little Rose has totally stolen the show. Jeeze she’s such an adorable precocious little child. I just want to give her a hug then pledge my loyalty-errr lets stop before I start pulling a Klaus LOL.

    Thanks for posting these images!

    1. She’s…not? She’s just a love rival, for a few characters. Actually, we have no idea what the original Rose is like, but her fate doesn’t seem to get as overblown terrible as other otoge wn stories.

  8. The artwork is ‘ok’. At least it gives us a solid image. Our dear princess does look adorable so it ain’t bad.

    Why does Leonhard(?) look like a old school shoujou style the most though? (Well, he was originally deigned to be s support character after all).

    Ah F/Z Lancer, commonly joked as the NTR King because of his literally ‘cursed to attract the ladies’ face.

  9. Kyahh *fangirling* Rose is so cute! Her cuteness give justice to her status as a love rival.
    Lutz and Theo are also super cute! Lutz totally have the image of an ice mage, the same for Theo. Ahh, I wanna see a blushing Lutz *off to fantasy land*

    Oops! Need to arrange my slacking face, he he

    Klaus… Johan… Christof… *pant pant*

    I’m not really a fan of Sir Leonhard, so… I think he looks fine… I guess…

    Anyway, thanks for sharing this cover, good job (y)

  10. Oh my, I actually recognized them by feeling, didn’t even cheat with the katakana haha (it’s rusty anyway -_-;). I thought it was Klaus on the cover behind Lutz and Theo, giving his killing aura lol. But he looked older on the spread, so yeah, figured he was Leon. Too bad, would’ve loved Klaus even more if he looked like that. Oh well. The kiddos are so cute :3. Hope they’ll do a cover of their older versions as well, so I can properly drool lol. Rose is the sweetest >u<

    1. Oh good, I’m glad that the characters are recognizable even without me spelling them out. That gives me comfort that my descriptions weren’t too off.

      I’m really happy the artist drew them as children. I wouldn’t have wanted to see an older Rose, since we haven’t even gotten to that part yet.

    Lutz is so handsome! I think if I’m in Rosemarie’s position, I’d fall in love with him instead of Leonhard. I find Lutz is my type as well.

    1. Hi hi! This is always exciting, getting comments from new faces! And, yeah, Rose is my favorite, so whoever makes her happiest I will support it, lol. I love her more than all the guys combined! But all the guys are great, too, so it’s been fun hearing what everyone has to say about their favorite guys and ships.

      Feel free to join in any of the (random) shipping (poké-) battles. 8Db
