Navier gets settled in within her new roll as the queen of the Western kingdom. That means choosing new ladies-in-waiting, a difficult task, seeing as how the eligible ladies were all chosen by the previous queen and are loyal to her. Back in the Eastern Kingdom, Soveishu is still reeling from the surprise that Navier landed on him, but plans to throw a wedding to outshine Navier’s and make her attend to spite her. Navier and Heinrey navigate some beginning couple awkwardness, and Navier asks questions about who the birds are that used to visit her chambers frequently when she was in the Eastern Kingdom.

It’s the eve of Ea’s Day but Gilgamesh is not up for celebrating. It’s also the one day each year he trades places with Death himself to fulfill the order of souls to reap. Despite dreading the task, Gil must endure in exchange for his immortality -- or must he? While he devises a way out, Marduk, god of gods, is deciding to end all involvement with mankind. Various entities from Mesopotamian mythology and their personal entanglements are portrayed in the story, delighting readers with lusty interludes and action packed battles. 
Vol 1: Awakening, adapted by Samuel Sattin, illustrated by Gurihiru
A brave and inquisitive young unicorn named Unico who befriends anyone he comes across draws the ire of the jealous goddess Venus because of his influence on humanity. She banishes him but Zephyr takes pity and hides Unico throughout time, wiping his memory to hide him from the vengeful goddess. In one such trip through time, Unico finds himself in the care of the Neighborhood Watch Cat Chloe who hopes to find herself a witch, but secretly wishes she could be human to fully fend for herself. The two end up helping an older woman in a small village while trying to steer clear of Byron, a local hunter who has been picking off animals for his trophy room.

Later, one of Tia’s memories of a fateful day return to her, and she realizes a catastrophe is about to occur in the king’s private gardens. Averting it may bring her back under the gaze of the royals she is hoping to escape, but letting disaster strike again may mean lose a piece of her own family legacy as well. And there’s still so much about her mother she doesn’t know, but even Prince Ruve seems to have more answers than Tia!

Tia and her father escape to a countryside manor for a while where she continues her training and tries to put behind her the thought of betrothals, successions, and the betrayal she felt at Allen not believing her when she revealed her past life. A month goes by, and Lord Monique sends for Sein to come to the manor because he must return to the capital to resume his work with the knights. Meanwhile, Prince Ruve is determined to figure out why Tia is so afraid of him, and he stops by the manor on his way to inspect the border camps. The meeting sends Tia into a shock for several days. After her recovery, she decides to return to the Capitol to try tackling some of her fears and to continue challenging her fate.

While recovering from over-exerted herself during sword training, Tia is summoned to the Imperial Palace where the Emperor discovers she has been left with no guards while all of the soldier’s in her father’s care are off quelling riots and fighting skirmishes. While she is at first hesitant to accept Imperial guards at her house, she realizes she can now have someone to continue her sword training. Soon, it is spring, and Allendis returns from the front. But, it is also almost time for the prince’s coming-of-age ceremony where Tia wants to declare she is the heir to House Monique. This might be difficult with her father not back from the far reaches of the kingdom! |
