Do you still remember how Twi, without even meaning to, transformed into his strongest form the moment he recalled the hero’s eyes? Because I still do.

They’re both smitten with each other, but sadly, Twi is a complete fool when it comes to love.

new .5 chapter doesn't have birdboy but it's still interesting to finally get progress on the nightmare situation

oh my heart

they look so cute

nothing gets in the way of the princess's pursuit of sleep lol

wonder what the multiplied poseidons are doing

seems like it's about to get serious

i don't know if it'll get addressed next update or if next update is gonna be a celebratory chapter (400!)

NEO WITH YOU AU, this one has been in the back of my head for a while.

Is “@Studying” supposed to be Chamos??

Since he only checks out Leo’s tweets and has Leo’s mug as a pfp

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle Directory

As requested, here is the excel sheet that I use as a reference to revisit chapters! Because what better thing to do while waiting for chapter 400 than reread the manga another 5 more times? 😄 Please feel free to make your own copy and edit it to be more helpful to you.

DISCLAIMER: This doc wasn't originally meant to be shared, so chapter descriptions brief and written in a way for myself to understand and may not apply to you. Again feel free to make your own copy and add more comments or highlight your favourite chapters etc.

Also! If you used to read fan translations you may have noticed that the official viz localisation gave some different names. I decided to standarise the doc using the official names to make searching easier, so please note when searching! I also added this character legend for characters with multiple names/titles/names that can get translated differently.

That all said, I shall now use the rest of this doc to ramble abt the localisation of the names, because I can.

For the record, I do study Japanese, but I'm not fluent and I wouldnt consider myself a translator. The sleepy princess raws use pretty simple language, so I like to read them for practice, and I think it's really interesting to see the different translation choices. Also, maybe this might help you when reading JP fans posts/fanart

1. トリース (Tori-su) vs. Bard

Starting off with Cursed Musician, because the localisation of his name baffled me for a long long time. I mean, I know bards play music, but how do you get that from Tori-su (or Tris or Tweeth, as some tls have gone). Only whealised that Ch 274 is called "Bird or Bard" in EN and "トリースオアトリート(Tori-su or Treat)" in JP did it click that Bard is one letter away from Bird, just as Tori-su is one character away from Tori (bird in JP) 🤦 I'm not sure if the "-su" in JP has anything to do with music, so feel free to tell me if you know!

2. 睡魔(Suima/Sleep Demon) vs. Hypnos, ヒップノース(Hypnos) vs. Somnus

So thing is, "Hypnos" in the official EN translation is the Sleep Demon that lives in the Old Demon Castle, but "Hypnos" in the original JP is the God of Sleep in Heaven's Haven. For this naming choice, I have questions... namely, doesn't Kuma-sensei have to vet localised names? Couldn't this confusion have been avoided? 😭 I feel like I've seen JP merch of Sleep Demon with "Hypnos" in English characters written on it before. Given that the God of Sleep is introduced 250 chapters after Sleep Demon, I'm just assuming Kuma-sensei hadn't thought of adding the God of Sleep yet, and thought "Hypnos" for Sleep Demon would be OK back then. And since Poseidon, Hades and Zeus are Greek, the God of Sleep should have a Greek name, so Hypnos in JP is correct (Somnus is Roman)..... Still. I've seen睡魔 translated as "Morpheus" in other works, I can't help but think that wouldve solved most problems (actually given how many characters have title-as-name, they could've left him as Sleep Demon), but oh well.

FYI "Oneiros" has the same name in both EN in JP, so at least that consistent (and possibly plot relevant?)

3. さっきゅん(Sakkyun) vs. Bussy

This one is just.... unfortunate... Sakkyun comes from サッキュバス(Sakkyubasu), and I guess Succun doesn't look that nice. I heard the anime subs uses Kyubey (I haven't watched) but in the manga Cubie is used for her brother. The translator and editors probably didn't know what bussy is and thought it would be the best choice (bless their souls....)

4. The Demon Kings

For those who don't know, the demon kings are named after times of the night! See below:

Understandably they couldn't name Twilight's father "2:00 to 2:30am" , and I can't think of any one-word equivalent in English. Does anyone know where "Gloom" comes from though??

Other Did-You-Knows:

- "Goodreste" in JP is "カイミーン" which comes from 快眠(kaimin) which means "pleasant sleep"

- Most of the character names are directly translated: Hero Dawner in JP is called アカツキ(akatsuki) which means "dawn", Agave in JP is call ゼツラン(zetsuran), etc

Thank you for reading this if you did!! I've always wanted to ramble, translation is difficult and its so interesting to see what gets carried over (and what doesn't) in localisation . Happy reading! 📖

[ehhdontcareaboutanything]

I will never forget what happened at chapter 316... That's when I realized their relationship is actually serious...

[ehhdontcareaboutanything]

Twilight: oh no, the hero is about to spot me in this crowd, and there’s no way to avoid him! What should I do???!

Zastur:

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle Chapter 395 - Suya x Leo

THE NEWEST CHAPTER???????

LEO X SUYA SHIPPERS, WE HAD MORE DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE BEING FED.

If you haven't read chapter 395, highly recommend that you do.

Unto the gushing!!

NOT ONLY IS THE WHOLE CHAPTER ABOUT SUYA WORRYING OVER LEO AND HIS TIREDNESS.

(Which granted, she'd be concerned- with others more appalled and stunned- that aren't sleeping well.)

EVEN CURSY CAN TELL SHE'S MORE WORRIED THAN USUAL AND WHEN HE ASKS WHY, SHE APOLOGIZES. ITS KINDA FUNNY THAT CURSY ASSUMED SHE REJECTED HIM, ONLY FOR HER TO DO THE OPPOSITE, AND UNKNOWINGLY SHOW DIRECT INTEREST IN BEING WITH LEO.

SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S BEEN CLINGY AND ADMITS THAT SHE LOVES SPENDING TIME WITH HIM, NOTICES WHEN THEY AREN'T HANGING OUT TOGETHER AS MUCH, AND THIS HAS LED TO HER FINDING MORE WAYS TO HANG OUT TOGETHER.

FOR HELL'S SAKE SHE WANTS HIM TO REST, SO THEY CAN SPEND EVEN MORE TIME TOGETHER.

AND THE WAY SHE SMILES WHEN ADMITTING THAT?? BRO I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SUYA SMILE LIKE THAT IN THE ENTIRETY OF THE MANGA.

AND EVEN CURSY IS SURPRISED BY THE REVELATION, HER SMILE, HER REACTION. THE PANEL LOOKS LIKE IT'S DAWNING ON HIM THAT SUYA'S FEELINGS TOWARDS LEO ARE SPECIAL.

AHHHHHHH.

Anyways, I'm temporarily done screaming about them, but it's nice to see more of Suya's perspective and feelings towards Leo. I feel like there's always been lots of clues about how she feels towards Leo, even if Suya herself doesn't fully understand it. However, seeing Suya herself come closer to that conclusion, and have others pick up on those visible feelings, is awesome.

[ehhdontcareaboutanything]

She's basically been forcing Leo to take her on dates and he didn't even know... But I'm not sure she even knows that that's what she's doing 😅 🥰

[ehhdontcareaboutanything]

She is so smitten for Leo! And it's so fucking cute! ⚰️⚰️⚰️
