A Timid Lady Was Turned into an Ugly Cat, but on the Verge of Fainting Is Picked Up by the Most Fearsome Military Duke, Vol. 1 by Andria McKnight, Ema Okadachi, Kou Kusaka, and Otori is a captivating tale where Marie’s life takes an unexpected turn.

Marie's life as a viscount's daughter is snatched away when her own sister curses her to become a cat... and then steals her betrothed! Forsaken and left to fend for herself, she collapses from hunger. Just as hope seems lost, tender hands reach out to her - on the other side is the undefeated duke, renowned for his reputation as cruel and unfeeling.

Marie’s transition from misfortune to a comfortable cat life begins here, under the unlikely guardianship of the most fearsome military duke.
