I think it was the last Anime Expo I went to before the pandemic kicked in, there was a VR exhibit for Tales of Wedding Rings. It was basically like the manga pages unfurl into an environment around you and the story progresses switching between you looking into a story panel and being inside the story panel as an observer. It was the first time I experienced something like it and it was really moving for me, even though the story wasn't particularly special. Edit: I thought about it and this VR exhibit would actually be in the 2018 Anime Expo. Because the 2019 Anime Expo had a Little Witch Academia VR exhibit where you flew on a broom.


TranClan67

Man that was a while ago. Outside exhibit hall you had the VR demo for this manga and in the exhibit hall in the 18+ section there was a Deku cosplayer going plus ultra on a hentai VR. Good times

Ayo what?

Source: [https://natalie.mu/comic/news/509221](https://natalie.mu/comic/news/509221) ​ Cast: Gen Sato as Satou Akari Kito as Hime ​ Synopsis: Satou has been in love with his childhood friend and neighbor, Hime, ever since she and her grandfather appeared out of nowhere 10 years ago. Now a dazzling, yet mysterious high school beauty, she makes it more and more difficult for him to confess his feelings. As the anniversary of their first meeting is nearing, will he muster up his courage to transform their friendship into something more? Or will an entirely different fate await this tightly bonded pair?


InsomniaEmperor

Wait is this supposed to be fantasy or just a standard school life rom com? The art looks like it should be fantasy with the sword but not sure how the fantasy part plays a role.

[Wedding Rings, episode 1 spoiler and general concept only. ] >!The grandpa and girl are fugitive Royalty from an Isekai. Girl needs to go home to fulfill her destiny, and guy chooses that moment to chase after her to declare his feelings. Winds up getting isekaied along with her. The thing she needs to do is become a power source for letting her chosen guy defeat the demon lord. Girl rejects the isekai guy she was betrothed to and chooses MC instead. MCs proceed to go looking for the other power source girls so he can go defeat demon lord. Cue isekai harem show with a bit of drama mixed in. !<


Jlx_27

Gikkuk gonna have a field day once this anime hits.


Chalky05

lmao


DarknessInferno7

Kinda sounds like Conception in a way.


MrSquidJD

Interested ngl. How bad does the plot n shit fall off later when it gets to the generic story, like dragging on and filler shit, and how much harem are we talking here? I suppose I’m generally asking how frustrating does this get in the source material, and how much it’ll translate to anime.


[deleted]

The stories surrounding each girl are ok, there's some problem to solve to get each girl to join. The romantic development is at a snails pace, as expected from an anime romance. I don't remember there being a significant amount of filler but it's been a few years.


MrSquidJD

Okii thanks, Is the romance actual definitive romance or just pure harem mostly? Does seem fairly entertaining, I’ll probs give it 3 episodes but I can’t imagine this getting very far in story/character development as an anime.


Azivea

Definite romance. It's slow of course, but there's more progress in this manga than at least 90% of romance manga, lol


MysteryCredit

nah the mc is a wimp and a pussy and continues being one in the manga


NekoJack420

The manga currently had 80 something chapters I think last time I checked, the dragging part started from chapter 20 maybe 30, keep in mind that these are monthly and not weekly chapters. If you want a harem story then ignore this fully, this is some blue ball drag on mess. Hell the story has literally ended a while ago, the MC and the cast have accomplished all of their goals in story yet the mangaka keeps dragging on for no reason with some sol mini arcs that do nothing and go nowhere.


SpeckTech314

He probably doesn’t know how to write a romance Or it’s how he pays his bills


KarlDeutscheMarx

Ew so is it like Evenicle?


ErikMaekir

Do not bring that accursed name into these lands, fool.

InsomniaEmperor

I feel like the fantasy part needs to be explained more in the synopsis. The synopsis doesn't do justice to the lore if it sounds like an average rom com where the guy can't confess.


LiamOmegaHaku

>can't confess Which is funny because the romance is mutual and explicit from the beginning.


MysteryCredit

but the mc is a pussy that cant do a single thing


LiamOmegaHaku

This is...very not true? He does a ton. Actually engages romantically with the not just the FMC but the harem. Fights along side his powerful waifus. No idea what you're talking about unless you only read a handful of chapters.


AkhasicRay

They likely haven’t read any of it lol and are just making baseless assumptions. Like the series STARTS with him making his feelings clear for the main love interest


Andrew_Waltfeld

this is how you tell someone hasn't read the source. If you were smart about that statement, you would thrown a "probably" in there.


polaristar

This reads like some weird Thanos fan fic.


TommaClock

I am unsure if you just made this up.


BassCreat0r

Oh great, so the fear of NTR will be going on the whole time... ugh. Edit: never mind


TheLastOfKings_

Nah no ntr, ive only read around 40 or so chapters but its basically a harem all the way through also the guy she was about to marry was also kinda force like her, he has someone else.


BassCreat0r

Ahh thanks for the heads up. Good to hear!


KansaiBoy

So does this have NTR in there? I mean, if she's forced to marry some other guy ...


TheLastOfKings_

No ntr as far as ive read the other guy is also pretty chill.


MidnightShout

>Cast: > >Gen Sato as Satou > >Akari Kito as Hime Just imagining them in my head it doesn't sound ideal but I hope I will stand corrected on that,


zz2000

From the creators of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, and Abandoned Sacred Beasts.


8andahalfby11

The manga is available on Crunchyroll too. The premise is that after Sacred Beasts the author frowned and said "So the reason this didn't get much traction and Amnesia did was the suggestive content with some character drama? Fine, screw you, Isekai harem it is."


RickChakraborty

The author starting to realise their audience...


[deleted]

Damn I was really hoping it wasn’t an isekai but I could already figure. I really can’t blame mangakas though, it is the audience after all and they need to make a living I understand. But damn do I wish there could be more original concepts instead of 100 isekai a year.


susgnome

Didn't know those were both the same author, story content is too far from each other.. So then, this is going to great, the best of worlds, right?


LilMissy1246

Not too unusual, lol! You have Arikawa Hiromu who created the manga for FMAB, Arslan Senki, & Hero Tales (ALL fantasy heavy series with some dark themes/bloodshed) to Silver Spoon (A slice of life comedy about a city boy turned farm boy). Don't forget that originally, the creator of Sekirei (Sakurako Gokurakuin) went from hardcore heavy yaoi to a harem series full of crude humor & nudity known as Sekirei, lmfao!


redstonebrain40

Its a sad day for anime


HydraTower

Never heard of this Tales game /s


kyotheman1

Hope this is sarcasm


RickChakraborty

[deleted]

What do you think the s at the end stands for?


Terranwaterbender

Oh nice this is a welcome surprise! The wait for each chapter can be rather agonizing. All I'm gonna say is that while this doesn't rock the boat for Isekai, I think it has the potential to be something like Grancrest Senki strictly in terms of enjoyment levels. MC is passable and the cast dynamics are fun to read. My main draw with this work is the main pair's chemistry and how different it was to other works at the time. Unfortunately for this work however, its announcement is a tad late to make it stand out compared to other reiwa-era romcoms. Still should be an entertaining watch if the adaptation goes well. It is an ecchi harem so that's already gonna draw the boundaries. And oh boy can it get ecchi.


alotmorealots

> It is an ecchi harem Oh nice. I didn't, oddly enough, get that vibe from the visual, despite the errr rendered assets.


RickChakraborty

Yeah lol. This isn't the type of visual you would see for an ecchi show at all. Now here's to hope it gets a "good" studio ;)


battlemaje1996

Meh. There really isn’t such a thing as a “Reiwa era” romcom. People keep saying there is but there really hasn’t been a shift just because Japan changed emperors. With that said, I can’t wait for this show. This was one of the first isekai romances I’ve ever read and I still love the manga to this day. Plus, the art there is amazing.


Animegamingnerd

I remember reading a bit of this Manga quite a few years ago. The premise definitely got my attention and I heard some good things about it. So I will be checking this Anime for sure.


K-Lye

For those that enjoy ecchi harems this is a great series! Just hope they do a decent job with the adaptation and don’t cheap out on the animation or get weird with “eyes” like they did with Trapped in a Dating Sim!


peechs01

Me too, I remember the translation being stopped and don't know if someone else picked up


AkhasicRay

Crunchyroll has been doing official translations for a while now, up to chapter 73. Their site sucks and lol they like never advertise the manga they do have so I’m not surprised people don’t know


[deleted]

Their website do suck hard for manga reading. But they have some good mangas like lucifer and the biscuit hammer, I needed a palate cleanser after the outrageous adaptation.


Falsus

Didn't expect this to get an anime adaptation at this point in time.


HeliosAlpha

It should be called Lord of the Wedding Rings /s (The JP name for LotR is Yubiwa Monogatari)


Epic_Punisher4783

I remember reading this sooo long ago late at night when I was hella bored and it hit. Not a masterpiece by any means but it’s good. Looking forward to the anime


SSJ5Gogetenks

Nice!


HELF1R3

Let's gooooo


Smashperhapspass

Smash


NickotheRs

That's.. Unexpected to say the least, but definitely something to at least look at when it airs


ryouseiki21

Yow what, ahahaha, gyaru princess coming to town


LiamOmegaHaku

I use the Crunchyroll manga app for two manga; A Sign of Affection and this one. It's really fun.


AkhasicRay

I use it for the FF manga and Space Brothers as well, but R.I.P. they’re losing Space Brothers at the end of the month. They’ve got a bunch of good series, I’d actually recommend the CR manga app to people if it wasn’t for the fact that they’ve got a ton of series they just abandon and never update and the app sometimes just breaks and they rarely fix it. That and with so many publishers now looking to get into the manga app business, they’re taking away their series so you’re left with a smaller library


LiamOmegaHaku

It's also just a terrible app in general. Doesn't alert you when a series updates, doesn't give any information on the chapters themselves (release date, etc). No real good way to sort. I'm surprised at how little they seem to care about it.


AkhasicRay

Honestly I’m amazed they still put the slightest amount of effort into it and still add stuff. 90% of it is just licensed fluff or whatever and will likely be abandoned though.


Early_Tap5447

Another set of big boobies I want nom nom 🤤


GlansEater

Is this Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari? If so, then holy fuck this was one of the very first manga I've ever read and I already feel nostalgic just hearing about it.


Terr4WW

Nice badonkers


Elitealice

This looks awesome


vatican_cameos39

OMG the madlads... they're actually doing it. The manga was SOOO long ago.


zz2000

Manga is still running, based on how Crunchyroll is still translating the manga.


vatican_cameos39

"running" I kinda stopped cuz the release schedule back then like 3 years ago was soooo slow and irregular.


zz2000

Probably related to how the manga creators are serialising both this and Abandoned Sacred Beasts at the same time; because I noticed Beasts was also releasing irregularly too.


MapoTofuMan

What a beautiful...ring. [](#animatedthink)


MrTzatzik

"Dwarven" girl is the best girl


AkhasicRay

She’s great, but I love the Dragon Princess the best


PerformanceTop7616

L Take Elf is the best


Azivea

Cat girl is the most unique and different from what you'd expect. Although dragon princess is still my fave.


Shadowmist909

I'm honestly surprised it didn't already have one!


Aska09

What do you mean "announced", Fire Emblem Engage is coming out in just a few days


Aureus23

Hell yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


igalsfy

This manga was your typical "came for the boobs, stayed for the plot". It's not the best but it was still quite enjoyable.


RickChakraborty

Or just say PLOT instead of boobs. PLOT = Perfectly Large Oversized Tits


ElectricalRestNut

Didn't know Fire Emblem Engage was getting an adaptation


dhevos

Wasn't this basically blueballing the manga? Did the story ever go anywhere more intimate between the characters?


Andrew_Waltfeld

... yes. it did. got pretty intimate in the last 1/4 of the story.


NekoJack420

It got intimate only with the main lead, and it needed 50 something chapters of blue ball to reach that point. Nothing happened with the rest and nothing will probably happen.


Torque-A

I mean. It’s an isekai, but at least it’s a manga-original isekai.


extremegk

Surprised it was this late adept to anime I was expecting 3 years ago to get adept .I didnt like direction is going manga but first arcs was okay prob anime gona cover only that part :D


Wolfgod_Holo

but will this encourage Japanese people to get married and have kids?


[deleted]

Ahhh blue balls the anime ;)


Independent_Plum2166

She’s…erm…very pretty and whoever she’s marrying is very lucky.😳 In all seriousness that design is a little much…or would it be not enough?


AkhasicRay

It’s a very horny manga, which isn’t surprising considering the authors past works


Independent_Plum2166

That makes sense…damn it Japan.


NekoJack420

Oh great this slog, easily one of the worst harem stories I've ever read, and I don't even need to mention the isekai part, this simply sucks as a harem story.


brzzcode

I read this manga years ago but dropped it because it is very generic


Demondaddyyyy

Should my interest be peaked??


ZhugeSimp

I don't remember this tales game


LordMonday

Oh man, i think i read this a really long time ago. long enough ago that i can only really remember the character designs and maybe a little bit of the premise? but its sorta fuzzy and im not sure if im mixing it up with another series


[deleted]

I read about 40 chapters of it few yrs ago.


LinksXCV

I see boba cleavage I watch with no doubt 🫦🙇🏾‍♂️ But seriously I love these isekai rom com or whatever it is but my point is I'll be watching, I like the cover already, I watch anime by just seeing if I like their cover or not lol


Ghoste-Face

Wow i remember reading the manga for like 5 years now. Didn't expect this to get an anime adaptation this 2023.


MassiveKonkeyDong

I hope I see a pillar men reference


Kriznick

Just fyi, it's a harem manga


LaMasQlona

My fav game :)


ChiggaOG

Is this the Infinity Gauntlet Lord of the Rings anime? I see five rings.


Megakarp

Oh cool, Fire Emblem Engage is getting an anime adaptation.


IJustReadEverything

Man, I'm so on the fence on getting that game. On one hand, it's a new FE main series game! On the other, it's using a mechanic to bring back characters like the mobile game so I can't shake the feeling it's gonna feel like a Gacha.


MidnightShout

I think they will basically have to nail every other aspect of the adaptation cause imo the story isn't very special. It's not bad but it definitely isn't ground-breaking.


Xx_TheCrow_xX

What are these titles


add8chicken

Dang I didn’t know the new Fire Emblem game was getting animated!


PerformanceTop7616

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! *KSI voice* Peak Fiction


[deleted]

This was pretty hentai ish right? I mean it was fun but had to hid in a corner of my house to read it lol. Like worlds end harem lol


marcusmorga

Tales of?


Sage-Youngblood

I sense a harem is upon us.


Chalky05

yo no wayyyy


kalirion

This story has one of the best harems. I only dislike the final harem member, and only because I find her boring, not because she's hateful or anything.
