32-year-old Futaba Kiryu is a manga artist that writes for a weekly shounen magazine. Her latest ongoing manga is a romantic comedy, "Bocchi no Ore kara Riaju no Omaera ni Ittoku" (A Loner Like Me's Got a Lot to Say about You Normies out There) or "Bottoku" for short. It is a best-seller and has an anime adaption on the works. But the truth is, she's completely clueless about romance. The days go on as she continues on working on her manga with her manga assistants, but soon, one of her assistants, Hiro Asakura (she dubs him as "Assassin" because of his cold and intimidating demeanor), and the anime scriptwriter for the "Bottoku" anime, Kitamura Kyosuke (social media dubs him "The Tactician" for his notoriously clever execution in the anime he's worked in) grow an interest in her and eventually make a move on her. How will Futaba fare in this love triangle when her knowledge of romance is next to nothing?

A graceful lady was reborn as an adorable girl?! Haven't yet rejoiced for her luck to live again, Liu Zhaozhao had already found out her previous pure and good-natured martial junior brother who had been obedient to her has unexpectedly become the arch-villain. What exactly had happened?

The Marronnier Kingdom lies landlocked by seven other nations. General Baribara sends her seven children, from the sleepless Nemukunai to the eternally hungry Harapeko, out to these kingdoms in the interests of diplomacy. Yet Baribara herself is not from Marronnier, and questions swirl internally and externally about her power and those of her children; and it seems there may be more going on in the other kingdoms linked to her family than is first apparent. Winner of "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" in 2018 in the female category (the second year in the row for manga-ka Nao Iwamoto), this josei fantasy series is full of humour, romance, and mystery.
