Yen Press began releasing Higasa Akai's original
manga as e-books in English in 2015, and it describes the story:
Accepting the
post of Royal Tutor at the court of the king of Grannzreich, Heine Wittgenstein
is a little professor with a big job ahead! Each of the kingdom's four princes
has a rather distinct personality. Does their diminutive new instructor have what
it takes to lay down some learning? It's a comedy of educational proportions!
Akai launched
the manga in Monthly G Fantasy in November 2013, and Square Enix published the 11th
compiled book volume on July 27.
