Sato followed his childhood friend to another world in order to marry her and became King of the Ring. But in order to save the world, he'll have to marry four other princesses?! Can Sato handle marrying a second wife?
Gotta warn those that are not interested in stories with ecchi elements that this series has serious moments of fan service. As an example like seen in the 1st volume there is also a nudish scene with water though it is a spring here as opposed to a large bath and Hime almost goes all the way with Satou before he snaps her back to normalcy. There are also a fair share of sheer clothing and panty shots so if you can't over look all of that then this series might not be your cup of tea.
Now that he is wed to his childhood friend and has become the Ring King Satou must journey to other kingdoms and wed 4 other women to acquire a ring of power from each of them to defeat the ultimate evil. After some travel Hime, the great Sage Alabaster , and he find themselves outside the elven kingdom of Romca where the Ring of Wind resides and powers the mighty wind barrier keeping others out of their kingdom. Luckily the group finds a way inside with the help of some elves but now the real challenge comes when Satou finds out princess Nefritis has been conditioned by her (overly) loving brother to fear the outside world and he is imprisoned by her brother until such time as she is old enough to wed...like in 50 years or so. Help from allies new and old see Satou (who probably represents just about every male unable to really talk to girls) must try to win Nefritis's heart even though he is in love with Hime. What a tough job. :)
My favorite part would have to be the tragic reveal about Alabaster's past but a close second would have to be when Satou is alone with Nefritis after she passed out at the sight of him and as he tries to calm her down she pukes in nervousness. Who knew cleaning someone's clothes was an icebreaker? :)
Still generic. Actually, a bit more generic. I'm biased, I like elves too much, and I didn't really like their portraiture here too much. The illustrations still aren't anything special and it definitely suffers in the fight scenes, but they are the style I like. The story suffers from a bit of a tired premise, although I like that they keep the main characters as monogamous as possible in the face of obligatory polyamory. Let it be the kids' choice. (Is it a manga romcom, yes. I was expecting this. I will still complain.) On the other hand, there are some genuine good twists in the later half of this volume regarding the elven storyline and the overall plot, which saved it for me really.
Way too much fanservice. (as expected)
There was some good worldbuilding in the extras with a few good things here and there.
In all honesty i bought this series because of the gorgeous covers. But damn now i am even loving the story. It is a little harmy and a lot of erotic scenes but i just tend to ignore those because i actually really like the story,
