English translation of the Japanese manga Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (逃げるは恥だが役に立つ).
What's a girl to do when there are no jobs? Once Mikuri Moriyama got out of grad school, all she could find was a temp job, and they just laid her off! Worried about his daughter, her dad helps her get a job doing housekeeping for this guy he used to work with named Tsuzaki. Just when things are starting to go well, though, Mikuri's parents decide it's time to move out to the countryside. She'll likely be unemployed for the rest of her life if she goes with them, but she doesn't make enough money to rent her own place. That's when Mikuri, always the daydreamer, comes up with a solution out of left field ...

Rath, the mad king of Atlantis, is under siege from all sides. Seeking new ways to maintain his grip on the throne, Rath persuades his closest friend from childhood to provide him with access to the darkest magic Atlantis has ever known! But the result is a threat that may be beyond Rath's - or even Aquaman's - power to control!
Rath's ally, Kadaver, is given the power of the Atlantean vaults of magic and becomes a mindless servant of the king. Rath's dominance seems a foregone conclusion... that is, until Aquaman and some unlikely allies storm the gates. It's a battle royal for the future of the undersea kingdom, but as Rath pays an unexpected price for ultimate authority, he becomes a force so monstrous that no one will be unscathed by the final showdown.
Writer Dan Abnett (Titans, The Silencer) is joined by artists Riccardo Federici (Dark Nights: Metal: Dark Knights Rising), Sunny Gho (Captain America, Avengers) and more in Aquaman Vol. 6: Kingslayer, collecting stories from Aquaman (2016-) #34-38.

Once, Aquaman was King of Atlantis ... but his crown was stripped from him and given to Corum Rath. Now, Atlantis has been cut off from the rest of the world, trapped by powerful ancient magic called the Crown of Thorns. No one can get in - or escape the deadly enforces of King Rath.
Now, Aquaman is part of the underground resistance fighting back against Rath, along with the mysterious Dolphin and his former sworn enemy, Vulko. Only Aquaman can unite the factions needed to take down Rath ... but only if he agrees to become King once more, which Arthur has sworn will not happen.
But when Arthur discovers the love of his life, Mera, has been afflicted with a strange mystic illness that can only be cured outside Atlantis, suddenly the Crown of Thorns becomes a death sentence. Nothing will stop Arthur from leading the resistance to take down Corum Rath once and for all. The Crown must fall and so must the King!

A devastating war between the United States and Atlantis has been averted, all thanks to Aquaman. And for his part in bringing peace, the King of Atlantis has found the respect and recognition that always eluded him...along with a new group of hardcore "Aquafans" he never expected.
But with a higher profile comes a target on Aquaman's back. There's Warhead, a cyborg with the ability to mentally control humans and use them as weapons. Then there's Dead Water, a monstrous villain Aquaman thought he'd defeated, and whose mysterious origins he still doesn't fully understand. To beat them, the King of the Seven Seas will be forced to make alliances with the same Aquamarines who tried to assassinate him - alliances that may prove just as deadly as any enemy.
With these ceaseless threats from above and below, political unrest is rising among the citizens of Atlantis. Even if Aquaman succeeds in keeping his kingdom safe, will he be able to hold on to his throne?
