Of course, there were plenty of spicy romance manga to go around as well.
Doesn't necessarily mean they were all good ones, though.
ASSASSIN & CINDERELLA (Asashin & Shinderera), by Yuzo Natsuno. First published in 2022 and first published in North America in 2025.
PLOT:
Neneko (aka "Ri") was supposed to be spying on the notorious, cold-hearted assassin Mi and reporting all that she could gather back to her agency. Unfortunately "Mi" (aka Omi) has known from the start that his adorable new girlfriend was actually a spy. To literally save her life, Omi makes Neneko an offer she can't refuse: she can continue to pose as a spy...so long as she marries him. How is she ever going to get any spying done with a deadly new fiance who can't keep his eyes (or hands) off of her?
