Time-Travel Romance Hit 'Lady Lucetta, Back from the Dead' Confirms Conclusion with Anticipated Sixth Volume

The romantic time-travel saga, Lady Lucetta, Back from the Dead (Shi ni Modori Reijō no Lucetta), is preparing for its conclusion. Creator Shinobu Amano has confirmed that the popular series will wrap up with the upcoming sixth volume, which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2026.

This news follows the debut of the fifth volume, which arrived on shelves on November 9, 2025. The release of Volume 5 sets the stage for the dramatic and comedic resolution expected in the final installment.

Since its serialization began in September 2022 in Hakusensha’s LaLa magazine, this manga has captivated readers globally. It offers a compelling blend of aristocratic romance, temporal mechanics, sharp comedy, and subtle supernatural elements.

The Narrative of Lady Lucetta

The story centers on the unfortunate Lady Lucetta Ambridge, the last hope of a once-distinguished family facing financial ruin. Driven by necessity, Lucetta agrees to a marriage of convenience with the affluent and influential businessman, Kyle Wisley, who seeks only her noble title. Their relationship is initially fraught with professional tension and profound misunderstandings, lacking any genuine affection.

Tragedy strikes violently just as their marital arrangement is about to commence: Lucetta is fatally wounded by a gunman targeting Kyle. In a twist of fate, which forms the core premise of the series, she is miraculously transported two years into the past, granting her an unexpected second chance.

Armed with intimate knowledge of the catastrophe that awaits, Lucetta is determined to alter her destiny. She resolves to independently settle her family’s massive debts by secretly adopting the persona of a renowned fortune-teller. Her ultimate goal is to secure her independence, break off the political engagement, and reserve her heart for a true love match.

However, her carefully laid plans rapidly unravel when Kyle, completely oblivious to her secretive identity, approaches her for guidance, seeking the fortune-teller’s prophetic counsel. During these consultations, he inadvertently reveals a deep, decades-long affection for the very woman he is engaged to, Lucetta herself.

This explosive dynamic between the two fiercely tsundere protagonists has provided the series with its most heartfelt and humorous moments. Fans have been perpetually engaged, speculating whether Lucetta's iron will to escape her predetermined fate or Kyle’s unwavering, though often hidden, devotion will ultimately triumph.

The series has reached an expansive international readership, published in English by Comikey. The forthcoming conclusion signifies another major success for Shinobu Amano, who is also famed for the similarly adored romance manga, Last Game. As the fandom eagerly awaits Volume 6, the legacy of Lady Lucetta, Back from the Dead as a standout work in the romantic time-travel genre is already cemented.
