Summary: When a curious slime monster comes across a fresh corpse, an opportunity presents itself: take over the body and become a human. Easy, right? Except, the body that the slime took belongs to Lady Jelly, a heinous, unhinged young noblewoman whose villainous personality may be the reason why her corpse ended up in the forest. There's no turning back for this slime—the only thing she can do is turn this villainess into a beloved saint! But if her true nature as a slime is discovered, this dream will be over before it even starts. Can a simple slime change Lady Jelly's reputation and keep herself alive in order to become a beloved saintess? Or is this weak creature doomed to stay at the bottom of the food chain forever?

Summary: Twenty-year-old Kouta works at a local guest house, and when a new part-timer joins the staff, he's mortified to learn it's someone he never thought he'd see again—his junior high classmate, Chizuru. Not only do these two share a past, they've shared a kiss, albeit one that only happened because of a "punishment game." Thanks to that, Kouta assumes Chizuru wants nothing to do with him. Yet the moment these two former classmates are alone together, Chizuru kisses Kouta again, then confesses he took the job just to be with him! Is this another cruel prank, or a chance to start over?

Summary: To be an adventurer means facing dangerous monsters for riches and rewards. But not every mission is a successful one, and not every adventurer makes it out. That's where Nemu comes in. As a corpse bearer, Nemu is tasked with finding fallen fighters and slaughtered supports in the very dungeon that killed them. It's a dangerous job with a bad reputation, but to Nemu, it's just a paycheck. One day while on a job, she runs into Garensis, an injured explorer who seems fascinated by her. Suddenly, her usually solitary run becomes far noisier.
Searching for his sister, Garensis is sure that he'll be successful if he sticks with Nemu and tags along, despite her indifference. But he'll find that there's much more to the role of corpse bearer than just fetching the dead… if Nemu lets him.
Seven Seas also announced an audiobook for Wu Shui Bu Du's My Husband and I Sleep in a Coffin with narration by Robert Wang.
