Hey again, it’s Usami, and, um, if you’re asking about the giant mermaid at the bottom of the school pool... Yeah, that was us. Listen, I know it looks bad, but to make a long story short, it wasn’t my fault, okay? Blame Prez. He’s the president and he takes responsibility for all our actions. Besides that, Cole-chan is still Cole-chan, and Uchimaki-kun is still, well, obsessed. I can only hope his “proclivities” don’t extend to the third dimension. Oh, almost forgot! It’s time for the nex...

Hi, Usami here. Currently writing this from the art club’s storage closet. Where I’m locked in. With Uchimaki-kun. Just the two of us. We came in here to find a new plaster cast after Colette ruined the other one, but then the door got stuck, we got locked in, and now it’s past school hours! I should be happy for a night alone with my crush, but things have been weird between us since this new transfer student joined his class. Imari Maria I think was her name. She’s super cute, loves mang...

Uchimaki-kun slept in my bed, Uchimaki-kun slept in my bed, Uchimaki-kun slept in my bed!!! Sorry. Usami here. I swear it isn’t what it sounds like, but at the same time it’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s...pretty hard to explain, so why don’t you just read on and find out for yourself? Besides that, though, the art club’s been good. We did our first big group project: making a sculpture out of aluminum cans (Tachibana-sensei’s idea!), Cole-chan got herself a new master (guess who it i...

“The plan was simple: play the foil, get dumped, live happily ever after. Now? The duke is head over heels for me, the world’s on the brink of war—and I’m going to die.”I was reincarnated into the pages of my favorite romance novel. Not as the bright, beloved heroine, but as the cruel, grasping villainess, a mere stepping stone in the story. My only job is to dump the “Cold-Hearted Duke” so he can meet his true love. Fail, and war breaks out. I die. Nobody gets the...

A soirée gone horribly wrong. At the behest of a sinister alliance between the disdainful noble Lady Monica Arendt and Archbishop Mills, Carolina is abducted before the eyes of the man she loves—bound, silenced, and dragged toward unknown lands.

The truth is far darker: they are being trafficked and sold into slavery. With time running out, Edward and Te...

His goal is to become the next high pontiff and claim absolute dominion over the land. A swift warning from Carolina’s father, Duke Sanchez of Celestia, alerts the imperial family—and in a bid to protect her, they propose a bold plan: introduce a ...
