The lineup spans pirate romance, monster-eating power fantasies, and a makeshift family of heartless killers. Here’s what’s new:
The Headliners
Lily of the High Seas by Naru Seto (released October 14): Fifteen years ago, Alfred failed to protect his childhood friend from pirates. Consumed by regret, he dedicated his life to the sea and became a naval lieutenant — only to find, while boarding a besieged merchant vessel, that he’s crossing swords with Lilian, the very friend he swore to protect. A romance of misunderstandings between a straight-laced officer and a tomboy pirate begins.
Killer’s Familia by Ren Kurosaka (October 18): Baal and Levi, members of a warrior race of horned people, were raised from childhood by an assassination boss expecting loyal protégés. Instead, he now spends every day just trying to survive their chaotic idea of “family bonding” — they’d gladly kill for him, and with their destructive power and loose morals, they might do it by accident. A makeshift-family battle comedy of literal monsters and heartless killers.
The Imperial Court’s Floral Stylist (October 20): Caomei, a lowly lady-in-waiting in the imperial court, plucks weeds by day — but hides a special talent for styling flowers.
More for the Isekai Shelf
I Became a Saint to Support My Idol! (October 10): Eristella is reincarnated into the world of a game from her past life. To save her favorite knight captain Adolf — doomed to die — she rises through the ranks, becomes a Saint, and even enters a contract marriage with him.
The Abandoned Tamer Signs a Deal With a Devilishly Beautiful Dragon (October 12): Tamer Noel is mistreated by his party and abandoned in a deadly dungeon — until he unseals the Flame Dragon Fran and turns his “useless” taming skill into unstoppable power.
After Getting the Crap Skill “Poison Immunity,” I Ate the Toxic Meat of a Dead SSS-Rank Monster and Awakened an OP Ability (October 16): Victor draws the divine skill nobody wants — until eating toxic SSS-rank monster meat lets him absorb any monster’s traits, shattering the world’s “one skill per person” law one meal at a time.
