My Deskmate Always Calls Himself "I, the Emperor" [Ancient Soul in the Modern World]

Emperor Zhou Huan transmigrates into Yan Hongjia, a boy who transferred schools because of bullying.

As the best class monitor at Jiefang Middle School, Zuo Zhuan bears the responsibility of looking after the transfer student.

After spending time together, Zuo Zhuan cannot find anything her deskmate needs her to look after, except for his painfully chuunibyou way of speaking: he always refers to himself as "I, the Emperor."

Thus, Class 123:

The 1.9-meter-tall athlete: Your Majesty~ Come play basketball with me, Your Majesty~

Roommate: Your Majesty~ I want to take a look at that notebook~

Arts committee member: Your Majesty! Write a couple of characters and save your humble subject!

Zuo Zhuan also discovers that her deskmate never calls himself "Emperor Zhou Huan" unless absolutely necessary.

Yan Hongjia: Who calls himself by his posthumous title?

Later, they join forces to fight cyberbullying, protect their classmates, go on hiking and endurance-training excursions, play games, travel together...

Zuo Zhuan discovers that Yan Hongjia is the sort of person even cats and dogs can't stand.

He really needs a beating!!!

The story is primarily set in high school. There are no depictions of romance or intimacy before the characters reach adulthood.

An ideal school life, a slice-of-life story.

Pure friendship in the early chapters.

Theme: The rising tide urges us onward; with the wind at our backs, it's the perfect time to set sail.
