A Money-Obsessed Noblewoman Starts a Business in Prison: The First Volume of "Jujutsushi Reijou no Aragasegi!" Has Been Released
Another unconventional "villainess" story comes to life in the manga world. The first volume of Jujutsushi Reijou no Aragasegi! Rougoku kara Jujutsugu de Tsukamitoru Kinka Zakuzaku Kyuutei Seikatsu (The Sorceress's Great Gain! Grabbing Gold Coins with Magic Tools from Prison to Live a Luxurious Palace Life), adapted from Yatsuhoko Yukino's beloved novel, met readers on May 7, 2026, under the Takeshobo label. Brought to life with Sumino Hoshino's illustrations, the series follows the extraordinary entrepreneurial story of a noblewoman known for her passion for money, from behind prison bars.
At the center of the story is Roland, a sorceress from the East and a noblewoman. Falsely accused and abandoned by her fiancé, Roland suddenly finds herself in a dungeon. However, instead of being discouraged, this situation triggers her ambition to make money by using her business acumen and magic tools (jujutsugu). Roland's "gold-filled" struggle to build a secret business in prison to buy her own freedom against the risk of being sold as a slave offers readers both a fantastic and entertaining adventure. The first volume of the series hit the shelves with 144 pages of content and a retail price of 880 Yen.
Serialized on Takeshobo's popular digital platform Take Comic! (竹コミ！), the production is a breath of fresh air, especially for fans of the "isekai" and "fantasy palace life" genres. Sumino Hoshino's detailed illustrations successfully reflect Roland's cunning character and the atmosphere of the magic world. The Take Comic! platform previously published works such as Made in Abyss and Pop Team Epic.
