Characters
Stuart Family
Formerly the Tanaka family, they all woke up in their reincarnated bodies roughly at the same time. With their modern values setting them apart from the medieval kingdom they live in now, the Stuarts attempt to continue their former lives.
- Leonard
- An Earl, whom cannot go against his stubborn wife.
- Melsa Stuart
- Matriarch of the Stuart family. She never had grandchildren as Mrs. Tanaka even with her children in their 30s; this makes her have an unhealthy obsession with forcing her kids to get hitched just for that. She couldn't care about the kids' happiness unless they were in danger.
- Emma Stuart
- Only daughter of the Stuart family, she was previously Minato Tanaka. Prince has crush on her, but she can't see it as he's just a child to her; she is instead smitten with the king.
- William Stuart
- Youngest son and formerly Heita Tanaka.
- George Stuart
- Oldest son and formerly Wataru Tanaka. He kept the peace in the Tanaka family.
- Arban
- He is Leonard'a brother and the only memory of the Stuarts not to be reincarnated person.
Stuarts Pets
- Violet
- A pet spider Emma had before regaining her memories. Violet is very smart and caring of her owner; webbing up enemies when needed.
- Komei
- Minato 's cat and leader of the litter. When she died of old age Komei wished to have 8 lives dedicated to the family, resulting in her litter being reborn as the size of horses in the new world. Emma can often interpret what Komei is trying to tell her by feeling.
- Kan
- Cho
- Ryu
Kingdom
Imperial Japan
A country in the other world that is heavily implied to have been founded by previous transmigrators from Japan. Their language is the same and so are names and culture. The Stuarts set up trade with the empire in exchange for rice, which they deeply miss eating.
