Cover of Mr. Villain's Day Off volume 1. Mr. Villain is in all black with a black turtleneck. He's got a brown trenchcoat and is holding a panda stuffed animal. Behind him is the Red Ranger looking kind of lost. Mr. Villain is also carrying a bag from the zoo.
Mr. Villain, also sometimes called The General, is a leader in the Evil League, and normally, his job is to eradicate humans on Earth in order to conquer the planet for his people. But, Mr. Villain is very wise and particular about his mission. Earth isn’t going to be conquered quickly, so balancing his work life and his days off is extremely important. On one mission, he investigates several animals at the zoo and grows particularly fond of the fluffy, cuddly looking pandas. He then becomes a frequent visitor to the zoo and begins investigating other fuzzy creatures. While on his excursions, he comes into contact with the Rangers, the human protectors of Planet Earth, but as he’s maintaining his work-life balance, he calls a truce with all of them and refuses to do battle on his days off.

Cover of Nina the Starry Bride volume 1. Nina is sitting on Azure's lap. She's wearing her priestess robes and her pink hair is flowing around her. Her blue eyes are large and sparkling. Azure is looking at her and seems a little annoyed.
Nina starts off life as an orphan, but is quickly sold out by someone she trusted. Her beautiful blue eyes make her rare and alluring, but also an almost perfect double for the recently deceased princess Alisha. Her captor is Prince Azure, Alisha’s older brother, who brings Nina into the palace and strikes a deal with her to impersonate the princess in exchange for a comfortable life. Nina goes through etiquette training and soon has to put her acting skills to the test in front of the king, Alisha's father, and her stepmother, who haven't seen Alisha in a number of years. The next test will be to survive long enough to be married off to a prince and secure an alliance for her kingdom!

Thankfully, she thought to partake in the full insurance package, so can purchase skills such as cooking, alchemy, fighting, and impress everyone into thinking she's a child prodigy, all to help her navigate her difficult storyline!

But, Hunter Cha surprises them both when she comes knocking and asks to join the guild. Jinwoo decides to test her, regardless of having seen her in action and knowing she’s S-ranked. After putting her against two of his shadow warriors, he’s still not convinced. Then, an A-ranked gate opens, and Jinwoo gets recruited to help another guild fill up their ranks and take down the magical beasts inside. At the same time, though, a dungeon break happens inside his sister’s school, tearing him between two critical places at once.

Cover of Fly Me to the Moon volume 14. Nasa is sitting on the ground wearing a grey sweatshirt and dark grey pants. Tsukasa is laying on a fancy old couch with red cushions. She's wearing a white button down blouse.
Nasa's students begin filming the horror movie in the abandoned mansion, but Nasa and Tsukasa are mostly there to check out the furniture. As soon as the door closes and the lights go out, the students are freaked out by the headless suit of armor and giant worms chasing them, but Tsukasa is cool as a cucumber. She grabs a sword and starts fighting back! She nearly ruins the movie except for her unbelievable swordsman skills, and her dual with the mastermind behind all of it. After their harrowing adventure, Kaname convinces Tsukasa that she has to match Nasa in showing affection, including being able to say "I love you," which Tsukasa thinks is the height of embarrassing.

Adapted by SUOL

She rebukes his offer of help and decides to go it alone at the trial. After the hunting tournament concludes, Penelope visits Eckles and raises his affection meter into a new game mode where none of the meters for any love interests are visible unless she pays absurd amounts of money or prestige points! With her birthday coming up and the potential end of hard mode or her life, Penelope decides to be more strategic with asking for gifts: money or assets in light of this new ridiculous ransom on seeing affection meters.

Cover of Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom volume 2. Blanche is standing next to Abigail, who is holding a sewing tape measure and thinking. Her silver hair is pinned up. She's wearing a blue dress with blue bows down the front.
Adapted by Mo9Rang

A botched attempt at revenge causes Abigail to confess her fondness for Blanche, but this works out for Abigail in the end as Blanche becomes more comfortable around her. With the Foundation Ball coming up, Abigail's family is worried she will be snubbed again like last year, owing to the fact that Sabrian refuses to dance with his queen. Compounding their worries is Abigail's failure to produce an heir for her new kingdom. When Abigail asks Sabrian to ensure he will dance with her this year, he confides that he lacks the confidence to dance with her because he is terrible at dancing. Abigail invites him to practice sessions with her and Blanche, hoping to help his skill level but also repair some of the relationship between Sabrian and Blanche.
