Hey there light novel fans! Time for our monthly look at the series making their debut in English. This month there are five titles coming out, and they’re from a mix of companies. J-Novel Club still holds the most, with three, but Seven Seas and Yen On each have titles premiering this month. And they’re titles with some substantial hype!

The Tales of Marielle Clarac

As a plain, unassuming noble's daughter, Marielle doesn't stand out in high society. Imagine her surprise when she receives a marriage proposal from the sought-after Simeon, second-in-command of the Royal Order of Knights! Simeon, the heir to an earldom, is highly accomplished in scholarly and military arts--and he's gorgeous. So why did he propose to such an unremarkable noblewoman? Despite being a target of envy and scorn, Marielle is happy. After all, Simeon seems to be exactly her type: a dashingly handsome man with glasses who appears gentle on the outside, but who has a dark and scheming side! Welcome to Marielle's world, where people aren't always what they seem--and a prim, proper exterior can hide the heart of a sly and devious fangirl!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Isekai

Traveling to another world, either by accident, magic summoning, death, cruel twist of fate, on a research assignment, or just on vacation, means dealing with a whole lot of change all at once. In this compilation, the authors of the SAKKA KEIHAN writing circle explore the ins and outs of what to expect when you've been transported to another plane of existence.

Six different short stories cover the authors' ruminations on how to get by in these other worlds, whether you're headed over voluntarily or finding yourself just trying to survive.

You'll probably want to bring a towel; things are going to get slimy. Don't think it'll save you from a fireball, however.

The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and SOAP!

Lucia Arca was an ordinary, unremarkable laundrymaid in the royal palace. Even her unique magical power, Soap, was boring: it simply created soap bubbles that removed stains. But when she learned one day that Soap could also calm and stop rampaging monsters, the king decreed that Lucia must join the Sacred Maiden and her companions on their quest to cleanse the land and save the world.

On a mission to save the world alongside the Sacred Maiden, the famed Dragonslayer, a prodigy magician, and other great heroes, what is an ordinary laundrymaid like Lucia to do?

But she learns that even extraordinary heroes are ordinary people, in their own way. A heart-warming romantic comedy featuring an ordinary but earnest heroine!
