I watched the first few episodes of the anime when it was still airing but never finished it (just because I'm never good at slow-paced, slice of life anime). The novel provides more insight to what Seigi's thinking when he's going about his days working part time as Richard's assistant, which is mostly admiring Richard's beauty if we've got to be honest. 

The translation is... fine, coming from a first time reader, but when I checked reviews from old readers who'd read the fan translation version before the Seven Seas translation I realized the official translation definitely COULD'VE been much better, so I felt a bit sad... that version is a lost treasure I will never have the access to, now.
