Square Enix continues expanding its international digital catalog as the Manga UP! Global platform officially welcomes The Viscount's Porky Portrait: I Married the Knight My Sister Rejected. Illustrated by Akina with composition by Yū Andō, the series adapts Mogura Manami's light novel run, bringing a fresh, heartwarming dynamic to the platform's romantic lineup.
A Shy Romance
The narrative centers on Mimosa, a bookish noblewoman from the Norton household who lives in the shadow of her outgoing, popular older sister. When that same sister abruptly shifts an unwanted betrothal onto her, Mimosa braces herself for a life with a supposed stout and oafish noble. To her complete surprise, her newlywed reality is defined by genuine warmth, transforming into an endearing romance between a hesitant young lady and a remarkably pure-hearted knight.
From Web Novel to Manga
The underlying story originated on the popular user-generated publishing platform Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2021 by author Mogura Manami. Square Enix subsequently adopted the project into a three-volume light novel series featuring illustrations by Kazuno Yuikawa, which concluded its run in May 2023. The manga adaptation debuted on Square Enix's Gangan Online web service in August 2023, with the inaugural physical compiled volume arriving in August 2024 before securing its current international digital release.
