Mr. Villain's Day Off

In this charmingly subversive manga from Square Enix Manga & Books, an evil alien overlord secretly spends his days off indulging in Earth's simple pleasures—like pandas, ice cream, and bargain shopping. Created and illustrated by Yuu Morikawa, with additional writing by Julie Goniwich, the series flips the supervillain trope by focusing on the quiet, wholesome hobbies of a cosmic threat. Running since 2023, it has delighted readers with its gentle humor and heartwarming contrast between galactic menace and mundane joy.
