Update on MJF’s AEW return – Reports

At the outset of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor, we watched heroine Jill Cervel be murdered by her fiance and deal with the Dragon Emperor Hadis Teos Rave’s descent into madness, then saw time rewind and her get a chance to deal with the situations with all the knowledge she possessed from her previous life. The thing is, the Hadis we’re presented with in no way matches what we saw in the first volume. Now that we’re at the sixth one, it’s much easier to understand how he could have ended up treading a dark past as a result of the actions of everyone around him and how Jill’s presence in this timeline is preventing that. Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for volume 6 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga below. When we first met Hadis in The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga, Jill was an adult and saw him at his worst. He was ravenous. He was exiled from his own country. He was a threat to absolutely everyone. Considering how he reacts when she reunites with him in her do-over attempt, that path seems inconceivable. He’s courteous and respectful to Jill and welcomes her as his fiance. He ends up teased by Rave, the dragon who Jill is also able to see due to her own innate power. He enjoys cooking. He was considered cursed, and the second volume established how he ended up treated as a scrapegoat for deaths. Because of his powers and innate abilities, he became a target. Even though he never held any ill will, it was thrust upon him. Being in a situation like that without any support, other than Rave, makes a descent into darkness seem understandable. Especially after the continuing events in volumes 5 and 6 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga. It’s in these two that we see Hadis’ siblings Elentzia and Risteard. When Jill meets them, she’s able to get a read on their behaviors toward Hadis. It seems like they actually do care about him and are trustworthy, with Risteard especially showing care despite his personality and exaggerated reactions. But at the same time, even though Jill seems to maybe be open to understanding them, we get that because of his past Hadis can’t trust them. It even seems like sometimes he worries about trusting her. Which means once things get serious in the sixth volume, with Kratos Kingdom Prince Gerard returning alongside the family’s uncle George Teos Rave, it almost feels like a pivotal moment that could make the timeline we’re seeing in The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor become ore like the original one Jill experienced. Hadis had a feeling someone would betray him. Someone actually does. Jill is put in danger. He’s potentially being overturned. She’s going to need to make a grand gesture to win a new ally. It’s a lot happening at once. In the second volume of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor manga, there’s a point at which Rave tells Hadis there might not need to be a “reign of terror.” With this sixth one, it feels like we’re in the heat of the moment. Things are dire, and enemies are right there. Hadis did end up betrayed, as he seemed to expect. But at the same time, we are seeing Jill there and responding. So even though the progression does show how things could go wrong, there’s also the potential for that to be averted. Volume 6 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor is available now, and Yen Press will release volume 7 of the manga on April 28, 2026. The anime is on Crunchyroll.
