Yuuri X Wolfram - Blog Posts
A fic for the commemorative illustration of Kyou Kara Maou! S
This pic:
You can read the manga here, too. And, directly support kkm and the Royal Couple.
Yes, I wrote a fic for it, and, yes, I am not guilty.
Some more points (Cause, I would love to see more MaruMa novel readers!):
In the engagement scene, it is easily overlooked in the anime but, it is mentioned in the novel that half the reason Wolfram went out of control in rage was because of the shampoo Yuuri used from Lady Cecilie's collection. It functions to heighten the emotions of s person, mainly aimed to increase the level of attraction from a simple admiration to more intense reaction. But, since the third son, with his already fiery nature, was already royally pissed and highly disappointed with the decision of putting some random otherworlder (let's just accept this as a word for now) instead of someone like his older brother (Gwendal) who has been devoted to the country for ages. (Novel vol 1 chapter 4)
There is his immature attitude as well, and his discriminating behaviour which I won't deny, but the novel has a lot of character development for him- instead of the anime just repeating the same skit every single episode, that made even me search up fanfics where I could see some justice!(The only thing I'm glad for the anime is the cliff scene-which solidified my love for yuuram) Till I came upon the glorious collection of MaruMa novels!! The sheer amount of YuuRam moments makes my eyes water. I can never forget that taisetsuna hito that Yuuri randomly blurted during his musings.
P.S: I love CrossHeart. It makes me go, "This is Wolfram". Because he is so passionate and emotional, I am totally convinced that he'd never cry if Yuuri left, because he cares for Yuuri's feelings. The thought of him turning a lot into Gwendal is highly plausible than him crying silently, because he is just that kind of a person. I'll end it here, or there won't be an end..
Just read that awesome novel. Trust me, I found it after I watched the anime (and read the manga) and I think that way is better that knowing about the anime after the novel, because then you wouldn't feel royally pissed while watching it and you'll also find the novel even more amazing (though it already is).
PROMPT IDEA
I know its a wholesome anime (and i don't know if there's a manga of them) but have you ever think that Wolfram's treatment to Yuuri is a bit on the abusive side?
I mean come on they know that he's from a different world so they should expect he doesn't know their culture, yet when Yuuri accidentally propose to Wolfram, he challenged him into a duel without an out and when he loses he's suddenly ok with the engagement? He's bossing Yuuri around, getting irrational jealous and being confrontational about it.
And Yuuri. . . I think Yuuri got thrown into the deep that he's just agreeing to avoid conflicts. Being the teenager that he is. Has no one ever pointed out by to them?(OC or crossover)
What I feel about Wolfram is that he's born royalty and suddenly gets dethroned by an outsider. He wants an in or control inside or just didn't want to get demoted to just a noble/soldier. He's family is just along with the ride (subconsciously or not) aside from Conrad (because I love him!). He has so say in it 'cause he half human and didn't know about it mostly.
Kinda dark don't you think? Sorry can't stop thinking about it. So here!!!
My long due fanfic which should've already been posted in the first week of the MA Event. But as they say, better late than never!
It is a Yuuram fic but with everyone playing cupid, heh. I don't know how it turned out, but I think it is good enough. It is a bit long, but I hope you read it (and find it funny). Idk why but Yuuri and Wolfram just don't kiss! Even in my fanfic! I just can't make them kiss each other. I had such a hard time! I have to thank my friend here, she really helped me out with her suggestion or this fic wouldn't've been completed.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Like always. I get it that Conrart is best boi (no, it's Wolf obviously, but anyway) for most but that doesn't mean you get to do this.
I started off with the anime (through Youtube way back a few years) and never associated with comments or anything. Even then, with all the ConYu going on and Wolf being shown as a possessive fiance, I still preferred YuuRam over all (And why did we have Sara×Yuuri again? It is clear that Yuuri in the novels was very clear on who was the most beautifully handsome angel in existence. The anime was so frustrating later that most of the time I just wanted Wolf to be loved- Wolfram is so much more that what the anime makes him to be). Then I discovered about the manga when I was surfing through YuuRam images (after stuffing myself with a lot of ffs- mostly anime based). The manga had so many more YuuRam scenes and the plot felt better (till it stopped following the novel- but it was still acceptable). Then ofc I discovered a queer picture that looked like a manga but wasn't like it- Thus I discovered this masterpiece of a novel! (Though most of the illustrations feel so baised towards ConYu... I can baredly get YuuRam scenes). My love for YuuRam and our angel Honey-chan has been growing all this while (from anime to novel and beyond).
I am actually glad I discovered MaruMa now, as we have all the novels properly translated and all. I feel so bad for the whole franchise, as not only YuuRam but even the characters were compromised to keep up to the wishes. The best thing about this novel is how it breaks so many stereotypes! Japan has an obsessiveness with constancy. One of the reasons for ConYu gaining more favour was because of that. At that point the only known trope in Yaoi was strong tall seme×meek small uke. While at that point, when the cover was enough for you to know the positions, Takabayashi-sensei introduced a couple who were, in every way, equal.
Since we are talking about ffs, I read a lot of them before reading the manga (and still read sometimes) and most of them were YuuRam! We are talking around 2009s. At that point, most of the KKM international fans were that of the anime. Still there were so many of them who wanted so much more of YuuRam that they wrote down their fantasies and wishes in the form of fanfics. There would've been so many more MaruMa fans if only they did it justice.
Yeah, so basically, I agree with the statement that don't try to change the canon. Nothing will come of it. Not even dying patients can escape from our angel's presence (so much so that they come to life) so how can mere mortals like us compete? And, the amount of fluff in the novels is pure bliss. Yuuri is more head-over-heels for Wolf than Wolfram and he is even starting to accept it already.
In short YuuRam is Canon and Wolf deserves every ounce of love in this whole universe!
P.S: Sorry I went off on this long rant. I love this work too much! A must read work!!
Maruma novels in China
I heard something strange.
Because watching the Yuuram’s video in BILIBILI website (Like a YouTube of China) in this year, I retrieved the love of Wolfyu. (Yuuram is ok for me now. I think both of them are the same.) I read these novels(KKM) 14 years ago, but I didn’t want to find any other resource of KKM’s on the net then. I started to search them and met some Yuuram’s fans of China a few months ago. They told me some terrible things about the rumors of KKM. It really shocked me.
The Yuuram’s fans left the ship in China.
They knew Yuuram and loved them because of animate. They weren’t willing to read the original of KKM, because someone spread the rumors that Conyuu is canon in novels without any Yuuram. In this era of network development, those rumormongers spread not only this rumors but also other rumors of all of Maruma authority are Conyuu’s fans including author, painter and official staffs. It made an amount of Yuuram’s fans in China sad and broke their hearts. They didn’t know why Takabayashi sensei let Wolf got engaged to Yuuri. They thought It was unfair for Wolf after being told the canon is Conyuu. Those rumors made many of them so sad that they left this ship. Until now, many Yuuram’s fans of China believe those rumors. They also tell me the animate of KKM was ever popular in China until playing KKM 3rd season. But Wolfram’s fans were still many in that time. I know KKM 3rd season is not good. That’s one of the main reasons they left quickly. The others are those rumors.
Someone did sinister things to Yuuram.
I tell them the truth. They start to read the novels and manga. After reading those, they never believe rumors that Conyuu is canon. They say it’s incredible that they have been tricked for 12 years. It’s “two wrongs make a right”. Recently, we found the original of “Love Letter” and translated it. They were as mad as hell because seeing incomplete version in Chinese before. That lost some parts of Yuuram and misinterpreted of the original. It made like a Conyuu novel more. That someone translating it is a Conyuu’s fan. They told me that Conyuu’s fans not only spread the rumors but also attacked Yuuram’s fans.
The one: They even grabbed the Baidu (the search engine of China) personal webmaster of Wolf’s and destroyed it a few years ago. Yuuram’s fans found that and complained to Baidu Official Website. This matter was resolved.
The other: They impersonated Yuuram’s fans to attack themselves and took a screenshot. They spread that Yuuram’s fans were too extreme to get along with them with a false evidence.
I don’t know what to say that because it’s so preposterous and unbelievable. How crazy they were!
Now we do somethings.
My friends and I know that it’s not all of Conyuu’s fans like them. But the crazy people are more than rational ones’ very much. We think they are so jealous of “Royal Couple” that they do those terrible things.
Anyway, we decide to translate the shorten-novels in Chinese by ourselves. In Chain, they can’t search the resources of KKM on foreign website due to some restriction. I provide those resources and my friends translate those. We want to let the Maruma’s fandom see the full translation. It’s a huge project. We hope that rumors will be disappeared after promoting correct information in China. I believe we can do it.
Really, thank you for making this blog where you talk about YuuRam! There are not many places or people who talk about this wonderful couple.
Hi! I’m Chara. Thanks for all the information you have provided for all Yuuram fans (including me, of course). Your notes are really enjoyable to read. Do you know if there is any chat groups or forums that we can talk about this ship? I can’t find any. Thank you.
Hi Chara!
I wish I could be of more help and direct you to a forum, but people don’t really use forums or facebook anymore, most of the maruma fandom is either on tumblr or discord. I use tumblr to talk about yuuram and maruma, because people can post fanwork or talk about it and stay on topic. (You can simply reblog someone elses’s post and engage in conversation).
The way you find post on tumblr is by using tags . For example if you use #kyou kara maou; your post will show up here: https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/kyou-kara-maou If you’re interested in #yuuram: You can check https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/yuuram When we had more people around we used to have online meetings once every 2 months or so, we would gather for a few hours and chat all together about maruma while watching something. But as fewer people started showing up, we stopped having the meetings. The other option is discord. I tried discord for a while, but everyone kept going off-topic (talking about cats and their personal lives), and it’s not for me. I care about maruma, and want to talk about maruma. If you use discord, I’m sure you can look kyou kara maou on that website/app and find active groups. ( But the only active group I know of had fans of different characters, so it wasn’t yuuram).
So tumblr is the most organized place I know to meet people and talk about yuuram with other yuuram fans. If you find any other place, I’d love to hear about it, but as far as I know, we’re mostly around here.
Your analysis and breakdown is awesome and detailed as always. It feels really good to read these and then remember the original at the same time!
I just love the way the whole scene plays and while Yuuri makes more than just a confession to Wolf. Plus, him giving Wolf anything also reminded me of the seisakoku arc. That arc was so bittersweet♡
For the point 3 though, I think they were already an accepted couple waaaay back right after that whole slap incident. (I think it's only Günter at this point who cannot properly digest it🤣)
Can never get enough of those cultural differences🤣🤣 Meow
P.S: Conrart needs a hug at this point, really.
You said misepan 2 is one of ur favorite yuuram short stories, can u give an analysis of it please!
Hello anon!
Ok! But I would really recommend reading it. I have said this many times, there's something about Takabayashi-sensei style, the way she writes her stories, that I really, really like.
Misepan 2
Title: Misepan, means "Showing panties". So the first part (written 2 years prior and almost completely disconnected of part 2), was about a bet Murata thought for Yuuri. Yuuri said he was unpopular and Murata said he wasn't and bet Yuuri he could get someone to "show him their panties."
---------------------------------------------------
Summary of part 1: In part 1, some chick was looking for a ring her bf gave her in the river and Yuuri helped her. That and the bet is the entire story.
---------------------------------------------------
Intro: Misepan 2 starts in Shin Makoku. The topic of 'lost item' continues. This time it's Yuuri who has lost something very important. A hand made necklace that Greta gave him.
---------------------------------------------------
The first part shows Yuuri and Wolfram around the castle. Yuuri tells Wolf he's looking for the necklace because he lost it. They meet Cherie-sama, who is wearing a maid suit and bunny ears and tells Yuuri that she wants Wolf to wear the same to attract customers for her new shop (a bar to find love).
Wolfram says he will refuse because of the bunny ears, because Yuuri hates rabbits (the mascot of Seibu Lions opposite team is an orange rabbit). Cherie mentions Wolfram used to love rabbits as a kid, because cats grabbed the attention of Gwen, and that they need Wolfram's help to cure Yuuri's rabbit-hate. (Yuuri is thinking he doesn't hate rabbits just that mascot from that team).
Yuuri calls Wolfram 'Honey-chan', and Wolfram gets angry and tells him that because he's younger he doesn't have a right to call him that. (Yuuri monologues that 'it hurt him to have Wolf remind him he is younger’)
When Yuuri mentions the lost item made by Greta, Cherie-sama remembers the 'pig soap' that Wolfram made for her. To which Wolfram mentions that it wasn't a pig, it was, of course, Cherie-sama herself. XD Cherie sama goes speechless due to the shock and Yuuri pulls Wolfram by the hand, and trots away from that place; so that he wouldn't see them fight.
Wolfram and Yuuri are alone again, and when Yuuri reveals he needs the necklace because he's going with Greta to the zoo the next day, Wolfram starts unbuttoning his shirt.
Yuuri panics saying he shouldn't be exposing his skin , people could see him ! What if some younger girl saw his bare exposed chest! Yuuri is making a huge scene as if Wolfram were undressing. He seems jealous that someone might steal a glimpse of his beautiful chest.
At any rate, Wolfram shows him a necklace, just like Yuuri's. So it turns out that Greta made the same necklace for all 3 people in the family, Wolf, Yuuri and herself. Yuuri also notices that the stone used in all 3 are the color of Wolfram's eyes.
Wolfram says he will lend it to Yuuri for the zoo trip.
---------------------------------------------------
Important scene:
Yuuri holds Wolfram's necklace still around Wolf's neck with both hands, and then pushes it against Wolfram's chest.
And says he can't accept borrowing it.
Wolfram asks why, wouldn't you do the same for me, if I needed something and you had it.
Yuuri says: "Of course I would."
At this moment, Yuuri has both his hands on Wolfram's bare chest. He goes into a monologue about how anyone would get 'blood rushing' to their brain, if they had both hands on their partner's bare chest, feeling how their heartbeat is the same as their own, and were thinking about something serious. He's overwhelmed and needs to take a moment.
Then he says:" when it comes to things that I can give you, I would give you anything, Wolf. But this is different. Because it's a handmade item. I'm sure that the shape of the stone is slightly different."
--------------------------------------------------- Important scene analysis: This scene is huge. Let’s analyze:
Yuuri: 1) Has both hands on Wolfram's bare chest 2) Gets blood rushing to his brain (to be taken literal and/or a symbolism for arousal) 3) feels Wolfram's heartbeat beating at the same rhythm as his own (symbolism for being in sync, one person, in love) 4) is thinking about everything he would "do" 5) says he's thinking about "something serious"
He's overwhelmed. Can't function. He takes a while to calm down and when he does, he tells Wolfram that "When it comes to things he can 'give him' he would give him anything."
Do you remember the 5 last points? Touching Wolf, aroused, in love, thinking about Wolf, and a "serious matter".
The undertone here is that 'anything' is referring to his virginity.
There was a time in novel 2, when he thought he was going to 'lose " his virginity to Wolf. But here, he's very clear when he says, he would 'give' it to him. It's those little things in the stories that brings back a memory of past things that happened and wraps them up with a little bow.
It's such a good scene. And although it has this sexual undertone, I like to see it more for the theme of 'sacrifice'.
He loves Wolf so much there is nothing he wouldn't give to Wolf. His virginity is cool, but what about his life? Is he thinking about that? If he's thinking about everything he would give to him, and this overwhelmed him. Is he thinking about that too?
I mean, who hasn't thought of that? What would you do for a loved one? How far would you go? And here Yuuri says it clearly to Wolfram, he would give him anything.
-----------------
Second part Gwendal is trying to find Yuuri because he found out about the lost item and thinks it can cause an international problem. The rumors have exaggerated what happened. Conrad also shows up, and Wolfram tells Yuuri to escape. Conrad follows him and Wolf stays there to stop Gwendal.
Yuuri sees Wolf as the bravest man alive, then this scene happens:
---------------------- Interesting scene: Wolfram: "Don't worry! It is a husband's job to rub their henachoko wife's ass!"
Yuuri: "Wait isn't it, maybe, "It is a wife's job to wipe her husband's ass" ? Yeah, maybe. No, I mean, I'm sure."
Conrad: "Eh? You're letting him call you henachoko? How generous. Well, then let us rely on Lord von Bielefeld's words"
------------------------ Analysis of this scene: Preamble: Before we get into it-> Because Japan has like a 4000 year old culture, and the 'couples' terms are always 'female' and 'male', we see a lot of 'wife' and 'husband' even between two males. Some may read into it (the top/bottom stereotype from the 90s), and I will analyze it too, but there's also a lot about 'kanjis' having certain associations that don't really fit the gender of same sex partners.
Analysis:
1) Wolfram makes a joke about rubbing Yuuri's ass (and asserts he's the husband and it's his duty)
2) Yuuri says the proverb is incorrect and "Isn't it "it's the wife's duty to wipes her husband ass?" But then he says maybe I don't know, I'm not sure.
3) Conrad is only surprised at the lack of complain of "henachoko", and not all the other married couple/sexual innuendos they've been throwing at each other.
This is the Conrad I love. He's so supportive of Yuuri and Wolf. He could have said something like "Wait, how long have you been married?" and make them both self conscious, but he didn't. Conrad is great, and I love him and he deserves all the best. I'm a yuuram fan, but I love Conrad. He's an awesome character and a sweety. He's been through so much and I feel sorry for everything he's been put through, simply because the fans forced Takabayashi sensei to bring him back from the dead. (Additional info: Conrad was supposed to die in novel 5 and Takabayashi sensei spent many years trying to kill him after that, but the 'Conrad' fans didn't let her. This has lead to Conrad just 'floating around' in the novels... she was so angry she even made him the enemy for a while)
About the proverb: I couldn't find the actual proverb Wolf and Yuuri are talking about. The internet says two things: 1) it's a wife's duty to cut her husband's ear hair, and 2) it's a wife's duty to take care of her husband's arousal. Now I have no clue whether either of them are old sayings ... I simply couldn't find it.
But here's my interpretation. 1) Wolf says it's his duty to protect Yuuri as the husband 2) Yuuri says isn't that the wife's role? and in the end he's confused about the proverb. I think Takabayashi-sensei is 1, throwing sexual innuendos as usual here, and 2 is bringing ambiguity to the whole top/bottom stereotype. "Is he the top? Am I? I don't know", is what Yuuri says about this.
I think, as mentioned before, sensei addresses the top/bottom topic (because it's actually very uncommon not to bring it up), and says : yeah whatever, who cares.
----------------------------------------
Third part : Yuuri has a scene with Conrad, where he realizes that his necklace was shorter than Wolf’s so that both, the blue maseki and the emerald necklace Greta made, won’t become entangled. Yuuri is moved thinking that Greta even thought about that.
They find the necklace Yuuri lost, and this part ends with:
"Things will always return to the place they should be."
This makes me happy. It makes me think that Yuuri will always be back to Shin Makoku no matter what. I hope that Takabayashi-sensei sticks to her words.
And there’s another clear meaning: Conrad (blue maseki) and Wolf (the emerald necklace) will not entangle and cause problems. Conrad will continue to be the friend, and Wolf will continue to be the spouse, and the ‘necklaces’ won’t disturb one another. Another very important symbolism. Everyone has their place and role, and won’t mix, entangle or bother Yuuri.
----------------------------------------
Last part:
The end of the story goes back to the main story in Misepan 1. So Yuuri is there with the chick looking for her bf’s ring. An old dude sees them, then the three find a bag full of gold in the river and they appear on TV.
In the end, Yuuri gets shown panties "mise pan" by the old dude. And the story wraps itself with a joke.
In the afterword Takabayashi sensei admits she didn't know how to end the story. This means, for what I can understand, that she just wanted to talk about the royal family necklace and Yuuri and Wolf, while finishing up a story he had to finish for the DVD set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main reasons why I love this story :
1) There’s a new canon yuuram trope:" the family necklace”. This necklace is the color of Wolfram’s eyes. Greta was the one to chose it, too. She could have chosen ‘black’, the royal color and the color of Yuuri’s hair and eyes (that everyone loves in Shin Makoku), but instead she chose the color of Wolf’s eyes. I feel this is a symbolism Takabayashi sensei threw in there to make sure everyone understands it’s not Yuuri and Greta anymore, Wolfram is 100% part of that family, and it’s his color that binds the family together.
2) Yuuri’s line: “When it comes to things that I can give you I would give you anything Wolf”. As analyzed before, this is the ultimate expression of love, and he has said it clearly to Wolfram out in the open.
3) Yuuri and Wolf as established as a couple as they can be, not only between themselves, but also by others. Out in the open they’re calling each other husband and wife (in front of Dacascos and Conrad), and no one even questions this. Meaning it’s been a long time since people have known them as such.
4) Yuuri calling Wolfram Honey-chan (and Wolfram getting angry due to cultural misunderstandings)
Anyway, it’s a really great story! Please read it!
Was that illustration the same one Takabayashi-sensei was fangirling over when Temari-sensei sent it to her? And she wasn't able to print it out for fans?
But yeah, let's hope GEG-sama can convince sensei to continue with the novel- cause that cliffhanger cannot support my curiosity.
I want to witness that Royal Wedding we all have fantasized of!!
Yuri: So let me get this straight … So I’m the Demon King which makes Conrart my Knight and Wolfram is my fiancé so which means he’s my prince now ?
Conrart: I guess you can say that pretty much sums it up
Wolfram: WHAT!? THERE’S NO WAY IM YOUR PRINCE! For one we aren’t even married yet so it’s not official.
Yuri: Oh I guess that makes sense *awkward laugh*
Wolfram: Yea stupid yuri *blush*
Conrart: So your highness have you made up your mind?
Yuri: huh uh about what *blushes*
Conrart: About being the demon king ofc
Yuri: OH haha right I think I’m going to need a little more time
Wolfram: HEY I HAVEN’T AGREED TO BE YOUR PRINCE JUST YET YOU LITTLE WHIM!*blushing*
Yuri: Don’t call me that!
Conrart: And there goes the lover quarrel *sigh*
Ah this is so beautiful!! I always wanted to see this crossover so much!! Now I can die without regr- Oh wait, No. I still need to see the Royal Wedding...
Hi! Here is my recent crossover! Ahhhh! I couldn’t help myself. Hahahaa. I was remembering my very first slash couple, and thought ‘whoa, that would be super cute!’ so here it is! It is an Owari no Seraph/Kyo Kara Moah crossover and my first part of my three blonde musketeers! Can anybody guess who the first blonde is? There is Mika, Wolfram and~ hmmm?
Hope you like it! Krul is super badass! Hahaha!
This is why the novels are awesome!! And so is the Royal Couple!
WHY WAS THIS PART NOT ANIMATEDDDDD
I'm laughing so hard at this!!
im sorry im like this but i laughted for like 10 minutes when i thought abt them as this,,
Wolf being savage in last two images is the best thing ever!!
august kkm twitter doodles ig
a bunch of doodles from twit or elsewhere that i havent posted here before
This is so cute❤❤❤❤
he say “meow”
a bonus:
A little YuuRam fluff... I tried😅
Hope you enjoy and forgive my writing...
This is something I wrote on a whim...
This image is too much yet too little!!
Maru-MA | Kyou Kara Maou! Official Art Temari Matsumoto
They are so perfect together!!
This comic really is good!!
But I do agree on the point that Wolf's artistic skills are actually pretty amazing! Why is this character so awesome!!
i’m rewatching kyou kara maou after ten years and it turns out i am still so invested in these boys’ relationship
I realised it as well way back when I just got into the fandom. It was a beautiful realisation. No matter how trivial it may be anything related to YuuRam is worth knowing.
Trivial Random Thought
So I was coloring my recent art and I realized while coloring that Yuuri’s favorite color is blue and you know…. who in Shinma has a blue uniform as standard outfit…. it’s Wolf XD!
Did you facepalm, I am sure you did : P. This is really something unimportant I realized which is important to me as a Yuuram fan ;).
It is so refreshing to find people who read the Light Novel and appreciate it's awesomeness! I mean it is so underrated because of various different reasons. It is. marvellous piece of work!! And Takabayashi-sensei's way of writing is amazing!! The way she changes the atmosphere is just plain awesome.
All her characters have a very unique personality. And she makes it a point to break the character stereotype. Like how the ethereal beauty Günter has an extremely perverted side, the eternally stoic Gwendal has a soft spot for cute things, the perfect gentleman Conrart has a thing for cold puns and how the fallen angel is a selfish brat when he opens his mouth(but I find him charming no matter what).
She has made even the women superior. Not like the meek heroines that we mostly encounter. But ladies like Anissina, Gisela, Flynn, Julia, Jennifer, Celi, etc. They can protect themselves and even others and contribute extremely for the kingdom.
Even Yuuri has his unique character where he has a bad temper and a habit of going into a "Turkish March", if you get what I mean. He has a strong sense of justice which drives him to do crazy things. But he his easily manipulated though he is not dense(at least not that much)
I have no words for the beautiful YuuRam. If I start then I won't be able to end. For me, they are one of the best couple that I have come across. Yuuri and Wolfram complement each other. But since they are guys so it is hard for Yuuri to accept their relationship. Yet no matter, he considers Wolf his best friend, comrade, and his precious partner. It is just too beautiful for words!! Wolfram obviously has already pledged his life to serve Yuuri already. And no matter how much Yuuri complains about his engagement, the fact that he protested about the punch by Wolf as an act of domestic violence and complaining about divorce added with his regular praises of Wolf's beauty is proof enough. Plus the way Wolf can go from being a wagamama-puu to encouraging Yuuri is beautiful(in more ways than one).
Yuuri just say yes already!! (cause Wolf is all hyped about marrying you!)
What I found out about Maruma/KKM after reading the novel up to 15 chapters.
WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Yuuri is not as innocent as I thought he is. He’s still dense and very kind but not stupid and innocent.
I fell in love completely with Yuuri from the ball at Dai Shimaron chapter and I feel so guilty towards Wolfram and to think that he’s my baby.
Yuuri POV consists, things he shouldn’t do, baseball reference, and how beautiful Wolfram is.
Wolfram is Yuuri’s personal sun.
Flynn has more characters and not as plain as how I remembered her from the anime.
The Maou Yuuri is a lot more badass!
Adalbert is more likable, I mean a lot lot lot more likable in the novel I found myself loving his character so much!
And his side story with Julia thrown me off board from ConradxJulia ship and I even throw that ship into the abyss now.
Maxine is the character I strangely found enjoyable it still puzzle me.
Adalbert and Maxine relationship is one hell of a relationship. Well, they are a perfect family! Father, son and granddaughters.
Conrad is not a Mr. nice guy!
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mean he’s hateful, I mean he has a dark side that I never see from the anime.
Conrad not return had so much more impact to the whole story and the anime did bad by changing that.
ConYuu in the novel is strong but I still have the same opinion as from the anime. I don’t ship them.
Greta is great! (I’m borrowing Conrad’s lame joke)
But seriously I always thought Greta as a tag-along character. The character which don’t bring much significant but her character did have impact and she’s very adorable and I love her!
The additional character like, Amblin, Sizemore, Chevalier and others help spiced things up so I feel bad they were cut off from the anime.
I love Anini so much!!!!!!! She’s mad, she genius, she’s mad, she’s funny, she’s mad, she’s strong, she’ ma… Did I already said mad? XP
Owh! And how she always happen to slap everyone with her hair whenever she turn around is my personal favorite.
Have I told that I now ship GwenxAnini? I DO! HARD!
Their relationship is the best and even so cringe worthy.
When will you two gonna get married.
Maybe the youngest will be the first one.
Gwen win the best older brother award. I mean despite of his fear, he went into his dimensional drawer in order to go to Kalbenikoff coz he thought Anissina tried to use Conrad as Romero.
I’m so proud of my Wolf cub if I’m gonna write about how proud I am of him I may need end up writing for days.
He matured so much!
I love him more and more and more now!
And he’s not the unreasonably over jealous type.
But Yuuri’s so afraid of him especially whenever Wolfram give the we’ll-talk-this-in-private vibe that I found it amusing.
Yuuram in the novel is much stronger my shipping heart almost can’t stand it.
Just get married already guys!
But on second thought, they did acted up like a married couple.
Btw, I found out that many people are in favor for their engagement.
So hurry up and get married!
Yozak is more Gurier(I wonder if you get this) and I love him soooooo much!
Coz I love Yozak so much, I’m really mad at Conrad when he accused Yozak as irresponsible for purposely losing to Adalbert and cause Yuuri to have to fight as third contestant in the Shimaron tournament. And the other time is during Seisa arc when Yozak being controlled and became the enemy Conrad don’t hesitate to cross sword with him. I mean come on Conrad, he’s protecting Yuuri with his life during your absence!
I don’t know what happen to Yozak but I hope he’s fine! *pray hard*
Weird but I can’t ship Conrad with anyone at all.
Sara is terrible! Nuff said.
But I love the terrible Sara anyway.
Sergeant Gisela is the best. How she flipped the switch from the gentle healer to Demon Sergeant is the best. Go on and admire her Greta.
Murata is wiser but only from novel I understand his pain of not able to forgot. *pats Murata*
He’s wise but he did acted up like a 4000 years old man.
Lady Cheri is indeed a good mother and I’m totally fine with her free love lifestyle.
Fanfan is really cheesy I’m puking out rainbows! No! You don’t have to take note Dorcascos!
Gunter is really disgusting! Lol
I found Bob to be a really funny guy.
Ah! Shouri needs more limelight. He deserved it!
I basically just love everyone in the novel.
The novel can turn from serious to a total crack in 0.001 second yet I’m totally fine with it.
I agree with how the novel don’t sugarcoat things just to make them acceptable.
All in all I’m enjoying the novel so much I feel sad to finish the other two volumes so I tried to take my time by reading the gaidens and extras slowly. I still don’t have any thought bout Shinou coz I’m just about to read the gaiden. I might add things up as I still have lots of material to read and if I suddenly remember things. XP
That's so true. The Wolfram we see is like that because he is a guy. If he was a girl then I can't see why he would be allowed to even tag along Yuuri's adventures. I don't see how he would have a stamina of a soldier. I don't see how he would be comfortable with the travels while dressed in gowns. I don't even see him setting his foot out of the castle cause I'm pretty sure that if Celi had Wolf as a girl she would've made her follow her foot steps. So I cannot imagine YuuRam happening with Wolf being a girl cause it's plain wrong. Because we would be essentially removing the core of what makes Wolfram Wolfram. And the whole point of his presence as Yuuri's best friend and trusted companion whom he can count on.
English version of Kyou Kara Maou
Here, let me translate Kyou Kara Maou to English since apparently it’s so difficult to understand:
A guy travels to another world gets engaged to a former princess. The moment he sees her, he’s completely taken by her appearance. When they have to fight he tries to make her panties drop to win the match. He spends his inner monologues continuously talking about her eyes and beautiful skin and features. How she’s an angel. A wet angel when she jumps into water. He calls her cute. He loves how straightforward she is, how she always tells him the truth. He holds her hand while trapped in a cramped area. He tells her: Wait, wait! You don’t wanna have sex with a sweaty guy and gets in the shower, when she throws herself at him. THEY START SLEEPING TOGETHER. No explanation , just boom, princess decides to sleep with the guy. You start reading about it 3 months after the guy decides to not lock his door and let the princess sleep with him every night. Guy adopts a child, child calls princess mommy. Child is not allowed to sleep with her parents. Princess saves guy’s ass continuously. Guy curves all other girls (and guys, but who cares about that, right?). He takes princess out on adventures, where they always sleep together. Other people also comment, oh I see you sleep together on trips, too? Princess almost dies, causing guy to react in a way he never has before, even though many characters have ‘died’ around him before. The trauma hunts guy forever. When he accidentally hurts her, he feels like literal shit. And crawls around princess trying to cure her, asking her if she hates him. Princess replies of course not, I came to the ends of the world for you. Guys friend dies, he gets into a fight with best friend and is exhausted, finally begging to get in bed with princess, saying to her: I’m so glad I have you. I don’t have the strength to pretend anymore. Cut to black. Guy and princess fight like a married couple. Guy asks princess if she wants a divorce. Guy tells princess he’ll give her anything she wants. Guy, writes 26 things he likes the most about princess in front of her while she does the same. Guy asks princess if she’d cry if he wasn’t there.
Now let me ask you…. do you still need the guy to confess his love for the girl? Do you wonder if the guy likes the princess?
Okay, well in the Japanese version the princess is a prince.
Wolfram's humour is the best. And it seems that he thoroughly enjoys teasing Yuuri because he is not familiar with ShinMa's customs and things. It is so amusing to watch it.
A little more thoughts on Wolf
I think Wolfram is a big troll sometimes. He actually knows that Yuuri is irritated but he will still continue irritating Yuuri even more. Like in the Dual at ma noon he knew that Yuuri was mad, so by the end of the story he remained silent to see what happens.(I think!)
I also think that Wolfram has his own personal room but he is lying about it. I mean even Greta has a room there is no way Wolfram won’t own a room as the ex prince(referring to the bear-bee gaiden).
I think he lives up to his name Selfish puu very well and he is aware about it. Like in the Caloria arc he slaps Yuuri on the ship on the pretext of reverse proposal and added “didn’t you teach me not to insult parents” addressing the Novel 1 incident. I mean he accepted he is selfish before he was leaving Shinma(in Caloric arc) in front of Gwendal.
Moreover during the tournament part in the Caloric arc where Yuuri misinterpreted the match rules Wolf was like “yeah we will have a naked fest” and then when they finally enter Wolf changes the statement like “Listen to me carefully, demon nobles aren’t allowed to reveal themselves in public. Stripping is reserved for emergency situations!”
This is so cute and funny!!

I did exactly that. I started with the anime. I loved the Royal Couple so much that I wanted more content and so I got to know about the manga(since I'm not a LN reader). Then I found out a few artwork which were done by Temari-sensei and turned out to be the novel illustrations. I was that of Wolf and Yuuri from Seisakoku arc and I just couldn't contain my curiosity when I realised there is more content. So went ahead and read the Novels from the Seisakoku arc. Then after finishing it and realising the character difference and the amazing work of Takabayashi-sensei I went ahead and read the whole LN from Vol 1 to 17 again. It was highly satisfying!! It is a beautiful work! Truly a masterpiece! With the characters and story line being so wonderfully unique and entertaining in its own way. And the LN is dark!! It is so good that way.
Is this show done? How about the novels its 2019 and i just started watchingthe anime.where does the anime leave off in regards to the manga/novel
Hi anon!
Anime and manga are finished, the novels aren’t (although the story line is way ahead of the others).
In my personal opinion watch the anime first, then read the manga , lastly read the novels, so you go from worst to best format.(If you read the novels first it will be impossible to watch the anime.)After about chapter 40 in the anime, it goes its own way separate from the novels. Same with the manga after chapter 96.Both of these take place at the end of the Caloria arc (novel 8).If you really can’t be bothered to read the early novels (which are completely different and so much better than anything else in this series), then read novel 8, to sorta understand where in the anime/manga you left off, and then start with novel 9 (Seisakoku arc) for new material. You will be missing out on: 1) Yuuri being a completely different character 2) Wolfram’s character development. 3) The yuuram relationship development. But hey, if you wanna skip everything that’s good in this series is up to you.Cheers!
Agreed. The light novels really are a treat for the fans of the royal couple!!
Is Yuuri still engaged to Wolfram?
Hi anon! Yes, and very much so, let me post an excerpt of one of the most recent stories:
Wolf: "If I was in trouble, and I was missing something important. And you had one that was exactly the same ...." Yuuri: "I'd lend it to you, of course" (Yuuri) I thought about this, literally with my hands on his chest. In fact, with my hand, that was pressed against his chest, I could feel that the speed of my partner's and my heartbeat was the same. Anyone would get blood rushing to their brains when they're seriously thinking about something. When I could calm down a little, I let out a small sigh. Yuuri: "Or rather, when it comes to things that I can give you, I would give you anything, Wolf.” One of my favorite scenes, couldn’t help myself! Also in the latest short story published last year there’s a lot of sexual hints and they talk about a ‘secret photo’ that was taken in Yuuri’s bedroom (and we never find out what it is), but the ideas Yuuri has is either HIM completely naked during ‘baseball practice’ (in his bedroom), or one of Wolfram’s butt peaking from under his negligee (which makes us think about the length of that negligee tbh). At any rate, still engaged, not married, very happy together in all the latest works.
If you like the Royal Couple, you should check the paperback novels (the original work). They’re really so much better than the anime or manga. Cheers!
I. AM. DYING!!
I’m so sorry I just finished kyo kara maoh which I literally started watching when I was a teenager and only just now was able to watch the rest and it was very good and cute so I’m reblogging some stuff. Anyone else ever seen this show?
Happy Birthday Yuuri!! 2019-07-29
Wolfram is indeed God's greatest masterpiece! And totally agreed with him being like a fallen angel!!
If Yuuri started to jot down all the different times and ways he described Wolfram he might end up with a book instead (a very fat one at that): "Various ways to describe Wolfram: A brief compilation" -By Shibya Yuuri Harajaku Fuuri.🤣🤣
Yuuram in Novel 2
Novel 2. ch.1 -Yuuri describing Wolf -
An angel and a demon are standing in the open doorway: the master of this castle, Lord Gwendal von Voltaire, making his entrance to the Love Theme from The Godfather, and a Vienna Boy Choir OB-style pretty boy, Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt.
(…)
Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt, on the other hand, is my twin in stature and physique, but angelically handsome. If you didn’t know he was Mazoku, you’d think he was God’s greatest masterpiece. Glittering gold hair, white skin, long eyelashes, and emerald-green eyes. But that damn arrogance of his makes him sound like a yapping Pomeranian.
——————————————————————
Novel 2. ch.1
- Settling things -
I prick up my ears at these dirty goings-on of the adult world, but Wolfram roughly jerks my head back. His lake’s bottom green eyes meet mine.
Target: lock on.
“How dare you vanish from right in front of us after saying that you would become this country’s king?! I was going settle things with you properly after you were safely done with the coronation ceremony!”
“Se-settle? I told you, I’m fine with a tie!…or no, if you still find it that hard to swallow, then let’s just say I lost, okay? ‘Cause ultimately that duel was like one of those things where an exchange of blows forged a friendship, you know?”
(…)
“You were pretty strong, and I gave it my best too, so why don’t we just leave it at that? We don’t have to go into all of that stuff about duels and revenge again.”
“That’s not any kind of…hey, Yuuri! What is the meaning of this?! You’re not wearing the gold bird I gave you, but you have Conrart’s pendant…?!”
(…)
“You can’t deceive me, Yuuri! You’re too lacking in prudence. Well, yes, I guess…you’re somewhat good-looking…just a bit…so you can’t help but be a temptation…”
—————————————————————— Novel 2. ch.2
- Ship -
You’re late!“
Why is Wolfram sitting so regally on the double bed?!
I’m guessing that the gob-smacked look on Conrad’s face means that he didn’t expect this either.
"From the looks of it, this room is normally reserved for newly-weds. I presume Your Ma…my young masters are still in their prenuptial period…?”
“…I have no idea who’s responsible for this mix-up either.”
The next while is devoted to Wolfram being violently seasick, and so the afternoon passed.
(…)
Wolfram, who stalked us to the ship and smuggled himself on board, ended up in front of the toilet as soon as we set sail. Now he’s bedridden and refuses to eat or drink anything, even water. He can’t even quarrel with me. With his ruffled gold hair straggling down blanched cheeks and eyes lightly closed, he looks like an angel who’s fallen to earth and in despair because he cannot return home.
—————————————————————— Novel 2. ch.3
-Just so you know, Japanese people never say anything when you sneeze-
“Achoo!”
“Gesundheit!” I answer on cue in a conditioned response to Wolfram’s cute little sneeze, which sounds like something a manga character might make, as I rummage through my luggage and toss everything out of the clothes chest.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.4
-Closet scene-
Even though Wolfram could not have guessed at my feelings, his hand falls on mine. We huddle together in the cramped space of the too-small-to-be-called-a-walk-in closet, shivering.
No, I’m the only one who’s shivering.
Wolfram is a soldier, after all. Even if he’s not used to playing such a dangerous game of hide-and-seek, it can’t be his first time.
“…Are you okay, Yuuri?”
“O-of course I am!”
I grip the hand touching mine, closing my eyes, and hang my head.
“Sorry.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
He’s not laughing at me, is he?
It’s just…it’s not just that I’m frightened, not even that I’m scared stiff—it’s this silence, this tension, that is unbearably painful…
My roommate seems to read my mind. He whispers, “Like Conrart said, don’t do anything rash if we’re found. They’re not going to kill you if you don’t resist, 'cause you’ve got such good looks.”
“Then you’d better not do anything either. You’re several times cuter than me. No one would kill someone as pretty as you.”
“No way. I am a warrior of the Mazoku; if I don’t fight, I can’t be allowed to live.”
“That’s stupid.”
“Shush!”
(…)
“Wolfram! Don’t, there’re too many of them!” “Shut up!” “I’m begging you, Wolf! Stop it…that’s an order!” He freezes and without looking at me allows the sword to drop. (…after getting caught…)
“I hear you’re on your honeymoon, an’ want to be sold together.” Unwinding his turban, Wolfram asks me, “Honeymoon?” “Don’t know anything about it,” I reply from my position on the floor, not yet recovered from the shock of the sailor uniforms.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.5
- Maou-
He lifts his eyes when he reaches the approximate center of the deck and stares sharply at the man right in front of him with the one black eye not obscured by contacts.
“…Yuuri?” Wolfram calls, forgetting his alias, but Yuuri doesn’t seem to hear.
Taken aback, he grabs Yuuri’s hand. With the exception of his index finger, it’s icy cold.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.6 -Random inner monologue-
The third son is standing in the doorway, still in his bathrobe. His beautiful eyebrows are knit in an exaggerated frown.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.6
-casual yuuram- “(…)His Excellency looks like he’s still deep in dreamland.“
Pretty boys, like pretty girls, have low blood pressure. Wolfram rubs his eyes adorably and pulls the rough blanket close.
"Wolfram, you’ll be late for school if you go back to sleep. You can nap in first period math class.”
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.6
—Yuuri teaching Wolf the Lamaze technique to stay awake—
The boat starts listing slightly. Wolfram is starting to doze off next to me.
“Wah, Wolf, don’t fall asleep! We’re turning, we’re going to start going around in circles—!”
“Hrmm.”
“Not hrmm! Row! Row, come on! Pull-and-push, pull-and-push, heeheefuu, heeheefuu.”
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.7
-Equally tired-
Conrad and Josak nonchalantly raise the white porcelain teacups to their lips, but Wolfram and I are both shaking right down to our fingertips and don’t even have the energy left to slurp our drinks.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.7
-happy times-
“I’ll go with you tomorrow.” “Huh?” He can’t give me any real help even if he comes with me. Even Conrad, who could make short work of any sword master, couldn’t move a finger to help me. But Wolfram is indifferent to my private waffling. He folds his arms and says rather happily, “Since you’re a total henachoko.” “Stop calling me a henachoko!” Ah.
The selfish prince with the angelic features and clear emerald eyes that remind you of the bottom of a lake. Abbreviate half-ironically, and you get selfish Puu.
Wolfram always goes right to the point. He throws himself straight into any challenge.
He bores into both my mitt and my chest, but it’s kinder and gentler than a lie.
“What? What are you grinning about?” “…I was just thinking, it’s been a while.” “What has?” “You calling me a henachoko.”
“That’s because you left the country. You left your people and your land to the care of others. You have no sense or consciousness of being a king. What’s wrong with calling a henachoko a henachoko?” “Nothing.”
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.7 -Closetting -
“Okay, then why don’t I dump you? 'I’m sorry, let’s call it quits?’” “Don’t you dare! It would be a blow to my self-respect!” “Oh, oh riiight, then why don’t you reject me? 'I refuse your proposal.’ I think my pride would be able to handle it just fine. I was the one in the wrong, so no help for it.” “I can’t do that!” “Why not? Is there some kind of rule about that? Some sort of religious reason?” “Shut up!” Wolfram stands straight up and opens the corner door without another word. “Aaah, Wolf! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong! I’m apologizing, so don’t lock yourself up in the closet!”
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.7 -Equally frustrated-
Wolfram, who has no interest in human festivals, goes to bed immediately after finishing his wine. I feel like getting drunk and airing all my grievances too, but I’m not going to smoke or drink as long as there’s still any possibility that I haven’t reached my full height yet. Instead, I lie in bed tracking the moon’s course.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.8 -Angel of Love-
So the whole party proceeded to the hospital in the morning and ended up dashing frantically about until noon.
But even though we’ve run ourselves to the ground, nobody has set off on their last journey yet—in fact, no less than three people revived. We’ve had gratitude heaped on us, and people have even started calling Wolfram the Angel of Love. But for us it’s something of a mixed blessing.
————————————————– Novel 2. ch.8 -Misunderstandings-
I pounce, trying to grab it from Wolfram, and land on top of him. This is the exact moment when— “Listen to this, Young Master…oops.” “…” “Am I interrupting your fun, by any chance?” Josak closes the door again. “No, no, wait! We weren’t having fun, we were not having any fun of any kind, you’re taking it the wrong way! This is a massive, majorly massive misunder—ow!” I’ve bitten my tongue. “My my, Young Masters, it’s the middle of the day, so if you’re going to have a dalliance, you should at least lock the door. You really shouldn’t tempt your elders like this,” Josak teases in the voice he uses when disguised as a woman, and enters the room.
————————————————–
Novel 2. ch.10 -Sneaking into Yuuri’s room for the first time-
“Wolf…what are you doing here?!”
“What do you mean, what am I doing?”
Wolfram, lying on his stomach and dressed like a madam after her bath, kicks his legs.
“I sneaked over for a night crawl.”
“Night crawl?! A-as in, when a g-g-g-guy secretly crawls into a bed…”
“For a rendezvous?”
“Yeah, rendezvous…no no no no, that’s not what I mean! The guy crawls into a woman’s bed…!”
Now he’s got me going at his pace.
Wolfram half-rises, scowling, a hand placed imperiously on his hip. He looks like pretty boy who’s hit the mat after a knockdown, for those with the taste for it.
“If I had to wait for you, you’d never come to a decision.”
“Um, incidentally, what sort of a decision are you looking for…?” My voice trails off as he sways his hips closer.
The Mazoku ex-prince’s face brightens, and he pulls me down by the arm.
“Wah!”
“Are we any closer to a decision yet?”
“No!”
I’m terrified just thinking about what sort of decision this might be. I’m not going to lose my life or anything, but I do feel like there’s something else I’m going to lose. I desperately extract myself, fly into the bathroom and lock the door.
“Yuuri!”
“Wait wait wait! I gotta take a bath first, okay?! You don’t wanna do anything with a sweaty guy either, right?!”
Do…? I blanch at my own words.
My head and nose both prickle, and I stagger, suddenly dizzy.
“Yuuri! Hey, open the door!”
“No!”
Unable to keep upright any longer, I sit down on the rim of the tub
“Blooploop.”

Wolfram is an Angel and a Demon. And has anyone seen or heard of a girly Angel or Demon? There you have it! Wolfram is the most beautiful being that could possibly exist (repeated countless times in the Light Novel) who has an air of princely arrogance that can rival that of a demon. Takabayashi-sensei created a fabulous character with all his flaws and perfection! And those flaws just add to his charm! He is manly in all the ways possible.
I absolutely hate it when people refer wolfram to be feminine and girly! He's a prince! He's not yuuris wife either but a prince consort I think that is what it's called. Wolf is in no way feminine or girly! I feel so sorry for my son!
＿(`Δ’)／Thank you!!!!
Even though you were probably just venting, I’ll write here my theory as to why some people used to think this way.First of all, I’m guessing you’re mostly talking about fanfics, and not actual fans, who still believe this nowadays: - Fanfics: Most of the fanfics available were written before the novels and manga were translated to English, which means that fans only ever had the anime to use as a reference.- Anime: Although the anime didn’t make Wolf sound girly at all, they did heavily rely on crossdressing as a gag, and some people took it to heart. - Doujinshi/Japanese stereotypes: As I’ve extensively commented in the past, Japanese fans (the original fans of the series who draw the doujinshi) are accustomed to stereotyping gay couple as “ manly dude/ girly dude” or “big dude, small dude” and since in the canon Wolfram and Yuuri are EQUALS (as Takabayashi-sensei has repeated endless times) they had to make his appearance or mannerisms more girly. This is a Japanese stereotyping problem, that Western fans got second-hand… Western fans don’t quite understand why they’re doing it but they get on the train cuz the Japanese fans are doing and think that they might have some inside knowledge they lack. As for the Japanese fans they do it because ‘stereotyping is life’, and you don’t break the mold here cuz you get kicked out of the village and starve in you do (there’s a lovely saying they teach in elementary school : ‘The nail that sticks out shall be hammered down’). Stereotyping is a big part of being Japanese… I’m not going to get into the explanation now, cuz the reply is getting long as it is.
Second of all, if a fan still thinks there’s anything girly about Wolf nowadays you must refer them to the novels immediately. People believing there’s anything girly about Wolfram (looks or personality), comes out of sheer ignorance of the canon.
The more you know about the canon, the less the ignorance of others will affect you. Rather than getting angry I’d say you should try to learn everything that you can about the books and correct people when they’re wrong. Quote using the novel number and chapter, give them irrefutable proof that you are right.
So everyone: if someone comes up to you and says something that’s clearly wrong, be patient and show them the way.
Love these scenes! Wolfram is as Angelic as ever!!
