【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.
