Is My Dad the Black Knight?!

by Yano Shitagou

My slightly clueless dad is actually the strongest knight from another world? You've got to be kidding… Ai Shirakawa is a 15-year-old girl starting high school this spring. Raised by her single father, she lives a modest but happy life with her kind—if somewhat uncool—dad, Rokuro, and her close childhood friends. Their days are ordinary, but full of warmth and laughter. That peaceful routine is turned upside down when Ai encounters a small talking puppy-like creature named Melkid, who looks just like a stuffed animal. Melkid claims to have come from another world in search of the legendary Black Knight—the mightiest hero who once defeated the Demon King. After saving his world, the Black Knight supposedly crossed over… into this one. Into Japan. At Melkid's request, Ai teams up with her childhood friends Sumi and Kiriko to search for the missing hero. But then comes the shock of a lifetime—the Black Knight they've been looking for turns out to be… Ai's very own father?! As long-buried secrets come to light, the boundaries between worlds begin to blur—marking the start of a heart-pounding fantasy where reality and another world collide.
