Supermoon Catchups for August!

2023-08-01

We've got two supermoons this August, on the 2nd and the 30th! If you need to pass the time waiting for them to show up, you can always curl up with one of this month's catchup series, which have pretty much nothing to do with moons!

First off, a tale of two Allens! Allen failed to join the royal court, and he somehow ends up at Duke Howard's mansion. The duke's daughter, Tina, can't use magic, and Allen has been hired to try solving the problem. How will his new job as Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter go? And another Allen was reincarnated from Japan after lamenting that there weren't hard enough games anymore. Now that he's in a new world with a Hell Mode difficulty rating! Will he be able to reach the top with only his wits to serve him? Check out the audiobook that was released recently as well!

If you're looking for reincarnation stories, we've got some more on the list! The Reincarnated Princess Spends Another Day Skipping Story Routes stars Princess Rosemary, the female protagonist of an otome game where all the male suitors are... undesireable. Can she skip all the story routes to find true happiness? With the series now complete, find out how it all ends! And in Saint? No! I'm Just a Passing Beast Tamer!, Kanata has excelled throughout her childhood, leading to speculation that she'll become a prestigious Saint, but no one knows that she really just wants to pet as many fluffy animals as she can get her hands on!

Finally, in the less conventional reincarnation space, we've got Doll-Kara, a manga about a fallen martial arts professional turned white collar criminal who finds himself in the body of a comatose high school girl! Can this new development rekindle the youthful passion of karate that the former adult lost in his career? And this title speaks for itself: Did I Seriously Just Get Reincarnated as My Gag Character?! University student Toru is hit by a bus and finds himself in his favorite VRMMORPG! However, he's not his invincible warrior but the dragon princess he created as a joke! Can she make the most of her new life?

While not calibrating your telescopes for these lunar phenomena, J-Novel Club members can check out all of the 31 volumes on catch up!
