My Two Wives Won't Let Me Go Home
勝手に嫁が二人 — MyTwoWives
Kenji Hayashi, 28, Osaka accountant, zero social life, truck-kun classic — wakes in the Kingdom of Aethoria with no cheat powers, a secondhand sword, and two women convinced he is their legendary “Wandering Star.” He is not. His insomnia Wikipedia rabbit holes might be, though.

Pitch
What felt like nothing becomes everything
Tone: Konosuba absurdist comedy with genuine heart — light harem played as romantic comedy where both women know they are competing, both are fine with the outcome, and the ending is a cottage, two wives, and kids who grew up hearing how dad accidentally revolutionized blacksmithing.
Kenji’s power is not a skill tree. It is problem-solving — metallurgy, crop rotation, germ theory, bridge physics, basic accounting — dropped into a medieval world through optional Watcher’s Gift knowledge interventions that permanently change towns you visit again in Chapter 6.
Party
Kenji and the people who refuse to let him wallow
Kenji Hayashi
Sword · no magic · internal monologue flags
Self-deprecating, narrates crises like an anime protagonist, yells “SPEEDRUN this dungeon,” apologizes reflexively. Combat: 3-hit combo, charged knockback, dodge roll. AI party handles the rest.
Lirien Ashvale
Half-elf ranger · bow + dagger
Confident, teasing, mentions horrifying forest facts casually. Pin Shot roots enemies. Family arc with hunter father Aldric and a grandmother who ships them aggressively.
Mira Thornwell
Human mage-healer (in training)
Brilliant, socially oblivious, spells backfire at the worst times. Documents Kenji’s “otherworldly customs” in a journal that becomes Aethoria’s first academy founding text.
Yuki (Chapter 4+)
Adopted at the Khavar slave market — Kenji’s internal monologue screams death-flag, then he spends the entire quest reward to free her. She picks the name Yuki, calls him Aniki, and judges his decisions with silence and one raised eyebrow. Forces him to actually grow up.
Rival Daxton Cray — American isekai with fire cheat magic, chosen-hero arrogance covering the same loneliness. Not evil; friction. Potential uneasy alliance by Chapter 5.
Campaign
Six chapters across Aethoria
- Ch.1Millhaven — tutorial village, dog-sized rabbits, blacksmith & farmer knowledge drops, goblin wave closer. Lirien and Mira attach for different reasons neither admits.
- Ch.2Thornreach — wilderness, Vella the overwhelmed guild master, Daxton introduced, Lirien’s father Aldric disaster visit.
- Ch.3Varsel — corrupt guild ledger exposed via Kenji’s accounting brain; bridge engineer & cook drops; narrative council climax, not a boss room.
- Ch.4Khavar — desert trading city, Yuki adopted, Samir the merchant bro, crime-lord closer beat with legal/economic trap.
- Ch.5Aldenmere — capital politics, hospital knowledge drop, Daxton as royal champion, reluctant team-up stopping an assassination.
- Ch.6The Star That Wandered Home — return visits to transformed towns, grand alliance Kenji built (not a king), Dark Lord backstory, multi-stage war mission, cottage epilogue with toddler face-plant.
Systems
Combat & guild
Real-time top-down ARPG — 8-directional movement, ring menu for items and companion commands. Lirien kites with bow; Mira casts with backfire comedy; combat banter includes Kenji yelling “AGGRO!” while companions stare.
Guild ranks Copper → Platinum unlock quests, shop tiers, inn upgrades, story gates. Quest types: combat, escort, gather, investigate, social — five required per chapter plus optional board posts.
Between quests
Inns & affection
Inn scenes carry the character writing: Kenji’s room monologue (flags in anime brain), rotating dinner table banter, one-double-bed comedy that builds warmth without explicit content. Hidden affection — no meters; both women are always in the ending.
Kenji’s Weird Notes codex collects every knowledge drop in his voice — Mira eventually steals the journal to copy. Pivotal scene.
Production
Assets, music, vertical slice
Art: full Mana Seed suite (Seliel the Shaper) — forest through desert tilesets, homestead, castle, dungeons, monster battlers, cozy furnishings — owned.
