The second woman

Description

【Manga Adaptation】Art by Satoru Matsuba

Serialized on the manga app "Palcy" (starting April 5, 2023)

In a country where the belief that "Songstresses suppress the world's calamities" is deeply held, Arietty dedicated herself to becoming the Miko-hime, the pinnacle of all Songstresses.

Though she was not chosen as the Miko-hime, her long and distinguished service as a Songstress led to a proposed marriage with a high-ranking Frontier Count.

However, the engagement was broken off before they even met.

Apparently, the Frontier Count is romantically involved with the Miko-hime—the very person Arietty lost to.

If that's the case, why didn't you say so?! I got my hopes up for nothing!

And yet, she's ordered to be dispatched as a priestess to the very frontier where her engagement was rejected...

I won't get my hopes up again. After all, I'm always just second-best.

Once this duty is over, I'll enjoy my life with my beloved music and alcohol!

This is the story of a capable Songstress, slightly past her prime, who eventually makes the wicked Miko-hime eat her words and finds her own happiness.
