    The Villainess and the Demon Knight  

    (Light Novel)
    by Nekota and Asahiko

    Manga
    Synopsis:

    Being reincarnated as an otome game villainess is hard enough, but fate sure didn’t hold back on stacking the odds against Cecilia. Her engagement is broken off, the heroine is harassing her, and she’s forced to work in a brothel! To make matters worse, her first customer is none other than the heroine’s childhood friend and debauched leader of the Imperial Guard, Duke Lucas Herbst. Terrified, Cecilia shares an intense night with him, only to wake up the next day in his mansion—marked as his fiancée?! Bound to this unhinged knight, the troubled villainess must endure his obsessive love. But is his intoxicating affection a curse…or is it a blessing in disguise?

    Magical Buffs: The Support Caster is Stronger Than He Realized! 

    (Manga)
    by Haka Tokuro, Shin Arakawa and Eiri Shirai

    Synopsis:

    Wim Strauss is a “granting caster”—a support mage who can increase the strength of his allies through the power of his spells. It’s a useful talent, but since it can’t be used directly in battle, it gets zero respect from the other members of his party. As far as they’re concerned, support magic is dead weight. It isn’t long before they toss him out on his ear, leaving Wim to wonder if his career as an adventurer is over.

    Lucky for Wim, he has one big chance: his childhood friend Heidemarie is able to get him an audition with her elite A-rank party, Nachtlibelle. The two of them know his magic is good for more than just menial backup, but now he’ll have to prove it. It’s time to show the world that support mages can do more than just stand on the back lines!

    How to Repair a Broken Cup 

    (Manga)
    by Rico Worico

    Synopsis:

    Although Kippei and Keita have been together for ten years now, they’re still finding it difficult to be completely honest with one another. However, it seems fate has a plan to reignite their passion and fix their communication problems. The morning after Kippei accidentally breaks a sentimental mug, he swaps places with his younger self from ten years ago! Suddenly, the couple both have the opportunity to face the person they fell in love with a whole decade back, and maybe reignite the passion that’s been threatening to fade away. For Mature Readers.

    Diary of a Female Lead: Shujinkou Nikki 

    (Manga)
    by Yuu Yoshinaga

    Synopsis:

    Tsujimura Aoi wouldn’t consider herself a main character by any means. Meek and insecure, she’s constantly alone, unlike her athletic older brother, Itsuki, or her mother, a famous shojo mangaka. Aoi doesn’t need to be the heroine, though—all she wants is a true friend. But Itsuki disagrees, and when he brings home Aoi’s effortlessly cool classmate Mizusawa Sena, the two concoct a plan to teach Aoi all about love, using shojo manga as their guide. Can this drab side character become an unparalleled female lead by falling for the perfect guy?

    Checkmate
    (Manhwa)

    by TAN

    Synopsis:

    Detached. Disinterested. Dispassionate. All words used to describe Soohyun and his uneventful, mediocre life. He’s nothing like he once was. As a teen, he had a fire, a passion burning within, all thanks to one person: bright-haired and brilliant Eunsung. Throughout high school, Soohyun obsessively competed with Eunsung for the top spot in all things, only to consistently come in second place. And as high school ended without victory, so did his passion for anything. But all this changes when, as an adult, he suddenly sees Eunsung again—except the other man is in the news, embroiled in scandal! Seeing Eunsung in a state of shame ignites something in Soohyun. Fiery hate, long thought dead, comes alive within him once more.

    Determined to see a fallen Eunsung with his own eyes, Soohyun reinvents himself as a reporter and begins dishing out one dirty article after another. He’s sure that with each scathing hit piece, Eunsung will come crawling to Soohyun and begging for mercy. Except, it doesn’t happen. Eunsung doesn’t react at all the way Soohyun expects! Just who is being manipulated, and who, the manipulator? For Mature Readers.
