These last few years have been great one for Natsu Hyuuga, mostly due to the incredible success of The Apothecary Diaries. This year we started to get some of the manga adaptations of other works she's written, so naturally I had to check this one out myself.
YOU CAN'T BLUFF THE SHARP-EYED SISTER (Seijo ni Uso wa Tsujinai), based on the light novels by Natsu Hyuuga and character designs by Chiho Shinishi, with art by Yo Asami. First published in 2023 and first published in North America in 2025.
PLOT:
In the land of Mythos, select young women are born with powers known as "charisms" that grant them great beauty and supernatural powers. Chloe is a novice at the church with an eye for money and a knack for gambling, so much so that handsome, noble young paladin named Erald believes she possess a charism. Chloe is skeptical of both him and his claim. She has no magical gift - she's just good at observing others! Regardless, Erald needs a woman of her skills for a very specific purpose: to investigate a murder.
