What if the love of your life finally returned to you, only to find they have become the one person you least expected?

Bartholomew was a valiant knight who swore an eternal oath to his princess, Claudia. They were meant to be together, but destiny had other plans, cutting their time short before they could ever truly be wed. Reborn in the modern world as a high schooler named Haruto, he has spent his entire existence scouring the earth for his soulmate. The search is finally over, but there is a hilarious, heart-wrenching twist: the princess he adored is now a middle aged, balding vice principal with a dad bod and a teenage child!

Second Life Ranker is a riotous, sweet, and deeply endearing dive into what it means to love someone beyond the surface. While Haruto is ready to pick up right where they left off, the reincarnated Claudia is struggling with his new reality, self-conscious about his appearance and terrified of the judgment that comes with an unconventional romance. It is a battle of the heart as our persistent knight attempts to break through the walls of insecurity and prove that true love truly transcends time, age, and even a mid life crisis. If you are looking for a story that perfectly balances laugh out loud comedy with a genuinely touching fantasy romance, this is the series that will have you rooting for the most unlikely couple in manga history.
