We’re purrfectly thrilled to announce the acquisition of The Drab Princess, the Black Cat, and the Satisfying Break-up by Rino Mayumi and Machi, a romantic comedy fantasy light novel series about one noblewoman’s attempts to break off her royal engagement with the help of a black cat familiar—who might actually be a tsundere Ice Magician?!

Are Sweets and Cats the Key to Peacefully Calling Off an Engagement?!

Seren, the eldest daughter of a duke, has grown up being teased for her plain looks, nicknamed “Princess Drab” in comparison to her younger sister, who is a real beauty. One day she overhears her fiancé, Prince Helios, and his friends talking about how her sister would make a much better wife.

In order to avoid marriage with the prince, Seren plans to become a top-level magician and gain the freedom that comes with the title. To achieve this, she teams up with a black cat, a familiar lent to her by Viol, leader of the Ice Magicians, after she finds out about his secret weakness to sweets! Together they’re going to do whatever it takes to bring a peaceful end to her unwanted engagement!
