Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom Vol. 8 keeps readers on their toes while taking jabs at gender expectations

Posted on by

After being rescued from drowning at sea by Nadia, a strange girl with red hair who can’t talk, Sabrian and Abigail invite her back to the palace as thanks.

What they don’t realize at first is that Nadia is actually a mermaid princess!

After confirming Nadia’s true identity, Abigail is faced with conflicting feelings.

If she is able to put her personal feelings aside, Nerghen will gain a powerful ally in the mermaid kingdom and a happy future for Sabrian.

The only problem is, Nadia’s heart seems to be set not on Sabrian, but Abigail!

He and Blanche have become fast friends, but the glass between them serves as a painful reminder of what his limitations are. Meanwhile, the whole palace is buzzing with excitement about the king and queen’s improved relationship–well, everyone except the couple themselves! As both Abigail and Sabrian struggle with their own burgeoning feelings, the two turn to their resident magic mirror for help.

SSS-Class Revival Hunter Vol. 1 is the familiar dungeon crawler genre but a nice twist

Posted on by

Some people are just born lucky, fated to enjoy all the riches and fame, while those beneath fade into obscurity. Gongja Kim, an F-class hunter with zero skills, is definitely not one of the fortunate ones. He spends his days bemoaning his lame existence and enviously following the exploits of the star hunter Flame Emperor, for whom the mysterious, monster-filled Tower is nothing but a red carpet. Then one day, Gongja gets the chance to finally catch up to his idol when he receives the ability to copy other people’s skills. The only catch? He has to be killed by them first!

Covering chapters 1 to 10

Posted on by

As the Freidkin family prepares for the Queen Mother’s return, they’re filled with dread and anticipation―until the woman arrives, and she actually seems…nice? Abigail’s first impressions of Sabrian’s mother are hardly what she was expecting, but that doesn’t mean she’ll let her guard down. When she senses a change in Blanche’s behavior, Abigail begins to suspect something is off, and her suspicions are confirmed when she learns of the Queen Mother’s plans to marry off her stepdaughter!

Itaewon Class Vol. 1 is a solid debut that reminds us a bit of Les Miserables

Posted on by

A single choice can completely alter one’s future―a truth no one knows more than Saeroyi Park, whose decision to stop a school bully exposes him to the harsh reality of money and power. Things go from bad to worse when his dad, who stood by him through it all, gets killed by the very same bully…and Saeroyi vows to take a life for a life. After his rash, rage-fueled murder attempt ends in a prison stint, though, a new plan kindles within him: open a restaurant, recreate the joy his father showed him, and cook up some proper revenge. And there’s no better place to do so than the neighborhood of freedom, diversity, and delicious food―Itaewon!
