(W) Zappon (A) Masahiro Ikeno, Yasumo Red has finally achieved his dream of opening up an apothecary! But after princess, prominent adventurer, hero, and former comrade Rit butts into his business, can the two of them coexist peacefully as coworkers?! And what hurdles are fate going to throw in the way of Red's peaceful life tomorrow?!

(W) Zappon (A) Masahiro Ikeno (CA) Yasumo An ominous shadow falls over Rit and Red as they try their best to enjoy their new lives-the unscrupulous Fire Mage Dir, who has long since been a thorn in their side, has made his way to Zoltan. Jealous of their happiness, he's sure to do all that he can to ruin their lives. But just what is he plotting...?!

(W) Zappon (A) Masahiro Ikeno (CA) Yasumo After getting through Dir's attempt to ruin their lives unscathed, Red and Rit decide to play hooky from their shop and take a trip to the river for a well-deserved, much-needed date! After an energizing time in the sun, they're ready to go back to peace and quiet, but things are rarely that simple-when an injured man stumbles into Red's shop, the couple is forced to spring into action!

(W) Zappon (A) Masahiro Ikeno (CA) Yasumo Though Red and Rit have been enjoying their new, stress-free life together in Zoltan, the Hero, Ruti, hasn't taken her brother's departure nearly so well. Nevertheless, she and her party head for an ancient ruin in search of a weapon left behind by the demon lord-though what they find may not be quite what they expected...

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo A cold snap in winter leaves the usually warm Zoltan blanketed in snow, providing Red and Rit with the perfect excuse to get cozy. At the same time, Ruti makes her way to Zoltan in search of Red. Will this powerful little sister finally reunite with her beloved older brother?

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo The search for the missing Hero, Ruti, has led all her party members to the remote region of Zoltan. Ares plots to use the girl for his own designs, but Red isn't willing to surrender his sister without a fight! This is a tale of a brother and sister who refuse the call to save the world and instead strive to forge a happy everyday life.

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo The joy of reuniting with Yarandrala is short lived. From the fate of the Mistome, to the arrival of a great power's warships, and a raid from assassins, Zoltan faces one crisis after the other. Little do the assailants realize, however, that this land is home to the world's mightiest heroes. In this volume, Red and Ruti demonstrate their unrivaled power, Tisse squares off against a legendary assassin, and Rit is imbued with?the senses of a wolf?!

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo Far from the battle with the demon lord's army, another fight is brewing in Zoltan. The Veronian warship in the harbor declares war on the peaceful frontier region. Red left the battlefield behind him a long time ago, but to protect those he loves and his peaceful days, he takes up his sword again!

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo A new Hero named Van has appeared, and he's headed for Zoltan. This na?ve and innocent boy possesses the strength to make even Theodora the Crusader shudder, and he blindly obeys the word of the Church. When Red, Rit, and Ruti learn of this new Hero they decide...to avoid him completely by leaving Zoltan for a little while on a vacation?! A confrontation with this unprecedented second savior of the world does sound like a lot of work, after all. But will they really be able to evade Van forever?

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo Ruti defeated the new Hero before he could cause too much damage. But rather than cool his ambitions, the loss leaves Van utterly obsessed with getting back at her! Now it's up to Red to safeguard the laid-back lifestyle he's created with his sister. Can he set this dangerous other Hero on the right path before it's too late?

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo After an intense battle, Red has finally managed to convince Van there's more to being a Hero than mindlessly following his Divine Blessing. This has left Van questioning himself, and who better to help than Red the Guide? To find answers, the two delve into ancient elf ruins, where they come face-to-face with the truth about humanity's strongest blessing.??

(W) Zappon (A) Yasumo The trouble with Van the Hero has finally passed, but Red's still got plenty to worry about. Learning that Tanta has the Divine Blessing of the Cardinal has left Red wondering what he can do for the young boy as the Guide. But thinking in the dead of summer is pretty annoying. Why bother when he can just take a vacation on a southern island instead?
