The abandoned empress vol 7 by Yuna

7/18/2025

Cover of The Abandoned Empress volume 7. Duchess Rass is in a blue, white, and maroon flowing gown with her steel grey hair falling around her.
Adapted by INA

Ruve finishes the business with all of the visiting princesses and dismisses all of them. On the last day of the festival, Tia and Allen go to watch a play that encourages Allen to confess his true feelings for Tia. She doesn’t reciprocate as she only sees Allendis as her longest and truest friend. This causes a major rift between the two of them. Meanwhile, the Emperor’s health is deteriorating, so Ruve suggests a stay at the summer palace, which is perpetually cooler than the main imperial palace. While there, the gears of fate speed up and Jieun arrives a year early, leaving Tia caught off guard.

Cover of Apocalyse Bringer Mynoghra volume 1. Atou has Takuto's black and hazy hand to her face, and she's smiling broadly. She's in her black and white dress with bangles on her arm.
Adapted by Yasaiko Midorihana

Upon dying from an illness in the hospital, Takuto finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world that seems much like the online game where he spent much of his sickbed days. And by his side is the personal game-play and world building assistant he used, Atou. Neither is quite sure if they’re in Eternal Nations or not, but they’re determined to build a new kingdom all the same. They soon find a helpless group of Dark Elves and negotiate them becoming the kingdom’s first subjects, all while King Takuto learns more about the surrounding kingdoms, invests in infrastructure, and manufactures necessities using his mana and abilities.

Cover of Aria of the Beech Forest volume 1. Aria and Gwyn are sitting with an outline of a town behind them. Around them is a wreath of foods and juices.
Aria is a young witch who lives all alone in a secluded forest, protected by a magical barrier put in place by her dearly departed grandmother. She has to keep to herself to keep the existence of magic and witches safe. One day, a talking white wolf wanders into her sphere, cold and alone, and the two become friends due to their want of companionship. Aria names the wolf Gwyn and offers to let him stay with her. Gwyn begins to notice a few off things, like Aria seems to never do magic, and he wonders about the barrier that seems to have let him and other humans into Aria’s space… there’s more to this world than Aria may know or has been told about!
