Cover of Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom volume 4. Sabrian is standing stoicly in his white king outfit with gold shoulder pads and chains running across his chest.
Adapted by Mo9Rang

It's almost Abigail's birthday, and, because they're starting to publicly get along, Sabrian wants to throw her a large birthday celebration, at least as large as last year's 3-day marathon event. Abigail would love nothing more than a quiet celebration with just the three of them, but such an intimate affair would actually spark rumors again! Sabrian also struggles to find Abigail the perfect birthday present, and even presses Abigail's personal maid for some ideas. While Abigail is busy making new dresses for Blanche and herself for the parties, a mysterious illness strikes the kingdom and reaches plague-like status, and even hits within the castle walls!

Cover of Villains are Destined to Die volume 7. Penelope is in a white dress holding onto a sword. Eckles is looking up at her longingly.
Adapted by SUOL

Penelope is inches away from getting Eckles to 100% affection and completing her plan to escape, and it can't come fast enough. She is days away from her coming-of-age ceremony when the true daughter, Ivonne, is supposed to return. After the events on the island of Soleil that entangled Penelope and Callisto and caused her to embrace powerful magical abilities, Penelope reluctantly accepts an invitation to the crown prince's birthday celebration and a rumor-filled dance that sparks outrage from her family. Callisto extends an invitation to formally court Penelope, throwing a wrench in all of her carefully laid plans. Could Callisto's red and locked affection meter have a different meaning than Eckles' grey yet nearly full? As the fateful date approaches, Penelope suffers what seems to be the ultimate betrayal as the game's events are changed and her plans are put into jeopardy!

Cover of Alice in Borderland volume 2. The cover is styled like a playing card with the number 2 in opposite corners and two characters faces mirroring each other opposite the title across the center of the book.
Arisu and his team have survived several games, but there’s little time to rest. Chota and Shibuki only have one day left on their visas for Borderland, so they must play another game soon and extend their time. Shibuki reveals that the cards corresponding to the games not only reveal the difficulty level but also tell of the type of game they’ll be playing, and that hearts are the worst of all because they prey on people’s emotions. With little time to find another arena, the four enter the only game arena they found and are crushed to discover the game is a Seven of Hearts. Towards the end of the game, Harube tells Arisu to find “The Beach”, a clue he was given in the previous game. Arisu reunites with Usagi, also from the previous game, to figure out what kind of help may lie at The Beach.

Illustrated by Mo9Rang

Sabrian visits Abigail after their failed dance practice and confesses his trauma about touching her and why the Foundation Ball will be so difficult for him. The Ball finally arrives, and Abigail and Blanche make a splash with matching dresses designed by Abigail. They’re in the style of chemise A la Reine, one by Marie Antiunette that doesn’t require a corset or panniers, so it’s perfect for the summertime ball. Also at the ball is Lady Karen Stoke, sister to Abigail’s mother, who is Abigail’s rival and would love nothing more than to usurp Abigail. Later, Abigail hosts a tea party and Karen comes in another dress style, mi-parti, and instead of showing Abigail up, she becomes an object of fascination as Abigail explains the intricacies of the dress to the attendees.

Cover of Villains are Destined to Die volume 5. Penelope is standing in front of a set of bars. She's in a black dress with her pink hair flowing around her. Derrick is standing on the other side of the cell looking over his shoulder at her.
Adapted by SUOL
​

Penelope is framed for attempted regicide and put on trial for the events of the hunting tournament. Derrick visits her in prison and tries to suss out how to minimize the effects of the rumors, rather than believing that Penelope is innocent. 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.
