The Villainess's Guide to (Not) Falling in Love 05 (Manga)

In The Villainess's Guide to (Not) Falling in Love 05, Luciana, a would-be villainess, must navigate a storm of romance while battles rage around her. Written by Touya with artwork by Yoimachi and Ren Sakuma for the manga adaptation, this fifth volume continues the witty, weapon-clashing tale of a young woman determined to avoid a predestined happy ending — only to find love blooming amid sieges, strategies, and schemes. As Luciana storms the enemy's castle, her brother Saphir's cryptic loyalty comes into focus, hinting at a larger commitment to protect her even at great risk. The dashing Commander Joshua pledges not just duty but heartfelt protection, complicating Luciana's vow to stay independent. With sharp humor, vibrant battles, and a cast of charming allies, this volume blends romance, adventure, and humor while deepening the world and characters established in the series.
