Upcoming Manga Spotlight

Every month our subscribers vote for the title we spotlight next. Here is what they chose, and what is on the ballot now.

The Misdeeds of an Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat Vol. 1

Luke Witharia Gilbert was fated to be the arrogant villain who gets crushed by the hero — until he's reborn with full knowledge of how the story ends. This time, he drops the hubris, trains for real, and starts rewriting his fate — winning over his sword instructor and catching the eye of a brilliant young noblewoman along the way. The villain just might come out on top.

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury―Vanadis Heart Vol. 1

Set in the world of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, five years after the Vanadis Incident banned the controversial GUND format. On Earth, young assistant Kiyu Lavot and former researcher Vilda Miren travel a planet torn by conflict and inequality, carrying precious, forbidden cargo of their own.

You Might As Well Be the One Vol. 1

College student Ichika is done with boys who won't commit and is holding out for something real. At a mixer, she meets Kosei, who's upfront that he only wants something casual, but the two click instantly. Despite herself, Ichika starts falling, even though it's the opposite of what she's looking for.

Spy Classroom 4th Period: Bonfire Vol. 1

Klaus is the finest spy in the world and completely impossible to work with — a perfect mission record, and no patience for explaining how he gets it. His answer is Lamplight: a team of eight women nobody else would have picked, pointed at the jobs nobody else survives. Genius and misfits, and the missions do not much care which is which.

Mage of Leda Vol. 1

Ornia has been handed back to the orphanage more times than he can count, by families who found him easier to return than to raise. So when a mage offers to take him on as a student, he says yes before asking why — and there are reasons why. He may have taken on far more than he can survive. He intends to reach the top of this rotten world anyway.

Thus Spoke the Rabbit Vol. 1

Shibugaya used to be the loudest corner of the city, until the man-eating rabbits moved in underneath it and everyone else moved out. What is left is a ghost town with something hungry under the pavement. Izuko, a wolf girl, walks in anyway with a bunny girl beside her, and heads straight down into it.

September's Spotlight Pick

You Might As Well Be the One

Your votes picked it. It ships in September's box.

A college romance about a woman looking for something real, until the guy who only wants casual turns out to be impossible to walk away from.

College student Ichika's done with boys who won't commit. She's looking for a proper, long-term relationship…yet because of her flashy appearance, she is often misunderstood. Her determination takes her to a mixer, where after another night of frustration she bumps into Kosei. He's totally up front: He just wants to keep things casual. Yet to Ichika's chagrin, they immediately click, finding more and more common ground. In another universe, they could be great friends, but despite herself, Ichika goes tumbling head over heels. She knows pursuing Kosei is just getting her further and further from her LTR goals… What could one woman compromise for love?
