Yōsuke Kokuzawa and character designer Meru launched a manga based on Kenkyo na Circle's novels in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app in 2020. Kodansha published the manga's 15th compiled book volume on April 9, and will release the 16th volume on August 7.
Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Prince Lloyd wasn't always a prince...in fact, his previous life is one he remembers perfectly: he was a sorcerer, of sorts. So when he was forced to reincarnate, he decided to continue his studies, prince of the realm or no! But his new life has its own sets of challenges...including being a 10-year-old! What's the 7th prince/sorcerer to do?!
Kenkyo na Circle premiered the series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Become Novelists) website in October 2019. Kodansha began publishing the light novels with illustrations by Meru in July 2020. The light novels' seventh volume shipped in Japan in December 2023, and the eighth volume will ship on July 2.
