Manga UP! Global describes Dragon and Flower: The Timid Princess and the Ice Sword's Loyalty :
Appointed Commander of the Holy Dragon Knights, Princess Eleanor faces immediate backlash—having earned the post despite zero achievements to her name. As nearly half the previous knights abandon the order in protest, Adolphus, a man known as the “Ice Sword”, steps up to take on the role of her vice commander. Kneeling before the isolated princess, he pledges his unyielding loyalty...
The manga is based on Yūna Asana 's light novel series with illustrations by SNC . Watanabe launched the manga on Squalre Enix's Gangan Online in July 2024. The company shipped the third compiled book volume in February 2025.
Manga UP! Global describes I Was Sacrificed to a Vampire, But He Spoils Me Instead! :
Every few decades, a human girl must be sacrificed to the vampires. When that day arrives, Lumina—a humble church servant—is chosen in place of the local lord's daughter. Eager to repay the church that raised her, Lumina willingly arrives at the estate of the vampire Marquis Varnox, only to be greeted by a mouthwatering feast, a luxurious room, and a warm bed. And though she's been taught all her life that vampires are cruel and ruthless creatures, this one seems shockingly kind! "If there's anything you want, please tell me. You'll never have to experience hardship again." "...Wasn't I supposed to be a sacrifice?" A cozy, heart-melting romantic fantasy about a kind-hearted vampire and an unfortunate girl whose expectations couldn't be further apart!
The manga launched on Square Enix 's Manga UP! in September 2025. The second volume of the manga shipped on June 5.
Manga UP! Global describes Wildcard Alchemist: Building the Ultimate Guild With a Divine Fluffy Beast and Random Alchemy Skill :
When a toxic guild dumps their "worthless, junk-making" alchemist, they make the biggest mistake of their lives. Iluto, an alchemist, is abruptly kicked out of Dragnate—the very guild that recruited him. Forced to go solo, Iluto shifts gears and heads into the forest on a monster survey. But waiting for him there is Noir, the fluffy divine beast that bestowed him the “Random Alchemy” skill! Between a divine beast coveted by several nations, a friendly personality that warms even elves, supreme mana control, and the divine “Random Alchemy” skill, Iluto starts gaining worldwide recognition. As his ex-guild crumbles and scrambles to find a suitable replacement, Iluto is busy assembling his ultimate dream squad with a beautiful elf girl and a fluffy divine beast!
Square Enix shipped the third volume of the manga on June 5.
