Sengoku Youko, Volume 2

A quirky and unexpected manga series exploring themes of grief and friendship in a heart-warming, light-hearted fantasy setting with plenty of humor, Merry Witches Life is a story about three women determined to learn magic and be the agents of their own happiness!

Join three witches-in-training as they find a way to bring their husbands back to life in Volume 3!

Zoe, Shishka, and Eliza have very little in common. Zoe is a failed witch from a mysterious magical island, Shishka is Zoe’s best friend from long ago, and Eliza is… well, a scarab beetle. However, the three of them do share something important: they are all widows, and none of them are willing to give up on their beloveds! From spells that go hilariously wrong, to uncovering the secrets of their new country home, this story of romance and friendship is truly magical.

This enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance follows a strong-willed, sword-wielding heroine who takes control of her own destiny.

Anna, daughter of the Margrave of Halmich, is tired of the expectations placed on women in court. She has no interest in marrying a nobleman because society expects it of her. Instead, she works hard on her swordsmanship and dreams of joining her father on the battlefield someday. Unfortunately, fate deals her a heavy blow: when the hostile forces of the Kingdom of Albion invade and take the Halmich heir prisoner, she is given to the enemy prince in exchange for her brother's life. 

But even in the face of these tragic circumstances, Anna still has plans of her own: 

"I'll infiltrate their ranks as a tribute, and then... I'll defeat the man who killed my father."

When the granddaughter of a yakuza boss is reincarnated as Francesca Calvino, the heroine in a mafia dating video game — set in a fantastical world where crime bosses serve the king — she knows what to expect: another ill-fated life without friends. But thanks to her upbringing, she’s already hatched a plan. By expertly navigating the game’s main story, Francesca will leave the world of organized crime behind for good!

First on her agenda: break off her engagement to the notorious Leonardo Aldini, the young head of the Aldini family and major villain of the game. But after breezing through her kidnapping without a male lead in sight, Francesca proves herself to be a little too good at taking Leonardo on. Not only does he still wish to marry, but he won’t leave her alone.

How is Francesca supposed to live a normal life while being pursued by an insolent crime lord?

Night after night, Elva steps forth into the black sea, sword in hand, to drive back the creatures that surge from the waves. Elva is one of the 'kannagi,' warrior priests chosen by the divine to protect the island. With his snow-white hair, unaging youth, and black-stained limbs — proof of the corruption that gradually takes the life of every kannagi — the local people fear and shun him... at least until his path crosses with that of a boy named Alto. Enraptured by Elva’s strength and lonely soul, Alto swears to serve him and free him from his cursed fate.

After eight long years, Alto has grown into a capable and fearless young man, unwavering in his devotion to his kannagi. Elva had long ago resigned himself to an early death — but somehow, Alto’s presence seems to be gradually healing him of the black sea's corruption...
