When career-minded Kentaro Hiyama finds out that he’s pregnant, it will change the course of more than just his own life. In the Japan of Eri Sakai’s thought experiment, ten years have passed since the male sex has spontaneously gained the ability to get pregnant, and society has struggled to adjust. Kentaro isn’t sure at first who the mother might be, and quickly finds himself butting up against regressive attitudes and discriminatory policies—most of which long precede male pregnancy. In his previous life, he’d never given any of it a second thought — he may have even held the same views. Kentaro’s new outlook is fueled by his experiences with pregnant women.

Leo Cornelia is a woman who has dedicated herself to the battlefield her whole life. There is no demon she can’t slay, no challenge she can’t handle—at least, not until that confounding halfwit mage Foolie Dent confesses his love to her. She has long since abandoned romantic notions and feminine ideals. But this irritating but reliable new friend may be the key that opens the heart that she shut long ago.
