One morning, he suddenly finds himself summoned to a tropical world where dinosaurs roam the land. He is told that this is the kingdom of Capua and the person who summoned him - its monarch, Queen Aura - wants him to marry her and leave his old life behind for a life of carefree extravagance as her prince consort. The reasons for her offer are many and varied, but she needs an heir, and she wants him to be the one to provide it! If he accepts, he'll never have to work again, lazing around in luxury with no worries other than securing the kingdom its next monarch. Certainly, sleeping with the buxom beauty is far from a hardship, but is everything really as it seems? He'll also need to give up everything he knows on Earth. Is he ready to drop it all at a moment's notice for her sake? And how well will he be able to navigate the politics, people and culture of this new world if he does?

| The synopsis reminds me of " How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom " , we may or may not get something similar , but I don't care as long as the protagonist ends up with Aura . |
For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.” (Holy Quran 17:23-24). |

The synopsis makes this look bad, but I guarantee the Manga delves pretty deep into diplomacy and the world while having a decent relationship development between the 2 main characters. + I really enjoy the middle eastern fantasy setting
| @Xmushroom I need you to spoil something , will the Mc Zenjirou and Queen Aura develope a genuine romantic relationship between them ? |

| What is the queen's character archetype? Is there a reason why she looks like gyaru host? |
 |
| Yay, this is such good news! Really enjoyed the manga adaption. But this is such a bait-and-switch title. Starts with the most basic of ecchi premises and then the author goes: "Psyke! We doing diplomacy, politics and court intrigue now." |
 |
| About time. Can't wait to watch this |

| For some reason I never thought this manga/LN was all that popular and had no hope that it'd ever get an anime, but I'm glad to be wrong. Now we just need a Saotome Senshu, Hitakakusu anime and all my anime prayers will have been answered. |

| @Asturaetus I am more interested in the relationship development between the main protagonist and the main heroine, so can you spoil me and tell me if Zenjirou and Queen Aura will develope a genuine romantic relationship between them ? |
