The third and final compiled book volume will ship on September 26.
The story takes place in a world where dungeons suddenly appeared five years ago. Skilled adventurer Yoruichi Yashiro loses his eye protecting a teammate from a strange monster during an exploration and becomes branded as a failure. Despite his injury, he becomes determined to continue his adventures using a new style of fighting.

Kokutо̄ launched the web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in April 2023. Hobby Japan shipped the first volume in December 2024. Rein Kuwashima provides illustrations and character designs.
Kirishima ended the manga adaptation of Yuiko Agarizaki and Aoaso‘s Brunhild the Dragonslayer (Ryū-goroshi no Brunhild) light novel in July 2024. Yen Press publishes the manga in English.
Kirishima’s previous series include the Melty Blood adaptation of French Bread’s fighting game, which serves as a follow-up to Type-Moon‘s Tsukihime visual novel. Kirishima also drew Kanna, which Go! Comi published in English. He also drew the illustrations for Usagi Nakamura‘s Gokudo-kun Manyuki (Gokudo) light novel series, which inspired a 1999 anime. Media Blasters licensed and released the anime series in North America.

K MANGA added Yū Taguchi‘s Dazzling Spring Days (Haru Kurari) manga in English on Sunday.
K MANGA describes the story:
Second-year high school student Kuraki quietly draws manga in his free time, but although he wants to draw a bright and bubbly main character, his own more subdued personality means that his main characters always turn out gloomy like him. Then he meets Urara Haruno, a dazzling girl who sparkles like spring sunshine and attends a private school for young ladies from wealthy families. Kuraki is so inspired that he draws a new manga chapter all in one sitting, using Haruno as the model for the main character, but how will she react when she reads the manga herself?! This is a school love story of an artist, his muse, and their budding relationship!
The manga launched on Kodansha‘s Magazine Pocket in September 2025, and ended it on March 2. Kodansha shipped the manga’s third compiled book volume on May 8.

It’s just… Her life had been filled with so much stress, all related to what her future would hold…That’s when an eerie voice reached out to her…
