Noda


The Hit Song "Noda" is Now a Novel!
Kinako is a middle school girl with zero friends. She struggles to talk to people but desperately wants to change.
One day, after watching a Zundamon video, she musters the courage to visit a karaoke place for the first time.
When she sings her favorite songs—she scores a perfect 100 repeatedly!?
It turns out that Kinako has an innate ability to match her voice to any song effortlessly.
Determined to break out of her shell through music, she dives headfirst into the world of online singing, posting “Utattemita” covers.
In no time, she goes viral, becoming a renowned singer known as Kinako—without revealing her face or using social media!
As she basks in the thrill of recognition, she casually agrees to let others use her voice.
But as voice-modified gameplay commentaries and explanatory videos featuring her voice multiply, she begins to notice something unsettling—some creators start using her voice in ways far beyond what she had imagined…

The Carefree Lord’s Fun Territory Defense Vol. 7


A Boy Banished for His "Useless" Production Magic Builds a Thriving Land!
Expelled from his marquis family due to his “worthless” production magic aptitude, Van uses his knowledge from a past life and production magic to develop a small village into a flourishing settlement.
After winning the war between the Yelineta Kingdom and the Shelvia Confederation, Van returns to Seat Village.
He had previously told the king that, should he earn military merits in battle, he would like priority trade rights with the Central Continent to secure luxuries and other goods.
However, the reward he received far exceeded his expectations—he was granted the rank of Viscount along with half the lands acquired from the war.
Meanwhile, Panamera, who ranked third in military achievements, was elevated to Earl and finally obtained her long-desired domain. She named her new city Fortress City Cayenne, preparing to rule over the former enemy fortress and its people.
Just as she begins governing, Van and his allies visit Cayenne, using magic to embark on a massive city renovation project—!

Thus begins Volume 7 of this lighthearted fantasy tale of a young, exiled noble reincarnate managing his territory!

"This is the story of one year in the lives of us Nakano Quintuplets, from January to December."

Welcoming the New Year as third-year high school students, the quintuplets feel a little down as they realize these fun times spent together are becoming fewer and fewer.

Soon, they’ll finish their entrance exams, graduate from high school, and each will grow busier, unable to stay together like they did before.

So, they decide to create a tradition: a day every month when the five of them gather to have fun—
a "Quintuplets’ Day."

Supervised by the original creator, Negi Haruba, this story portrays the quintuplets’ brand-new daily lives!
