Volume 1 cover of the light novel 'Omaegotokiga Maou ni Kateruto Omouna to Yusya Party wo Tuihou Saretanode Ou to de Kimama ni Kurashitai' (おまえごときが魔王に勝てると思うなと勇者パーティを追放されたので王都で気ままに暮らしたい). The cover features two anime-style female characters.  The character on the left has shoulder-length orange hair, wears a red sleeveless top, brown shorts, brown high boots, and a brown leather satchel. She's looking towards the viewer with a determined expression.  The character on the right has short, light blue hair, partially covered by a white bandage, and wears a white maid-style dress. She's holding a glowing blue orb in one hand and is holding the other girl's hand. The background depicts a European-style medieval street scene with buildings, and other people can be vaguely seen in the distance. The artistic style is characteristic of Japanese light novel illustrations, bright and colorful with a focus on expressive character design.  The title of the novel is prominently displayed, along with the author and illustrator's names and volume number. The overall style is reminiscent of fantasy and adventure genres.
Roll Over and Die Novel Vol. 1

A vibrant anime-style illustration featuring multiple panels showcasing various characters.  The central focus is on two young women, one with shoulder-length light brown hair wearing a sleeveless red and brown top and brown shorts, holding hands with another who is wearing a black and white maid outfit with a ruffled apron and lace trim. This maid has short, light gray hair and is partially obscured by a bandage covering part of her face.  Both girls have bright, expressive eyes and are smiling happily. Japanese text overlayed on the image reads "Congratulations on the anime adaptation!" and similar celebratory messages.  In other panels, additional characters are depicted: a maid in a similar style to the central maid character, but carried by another fair-haired girl in an ornate outfit.  The art style is reminiscent of light novel illustrations, featuring bright colours and expressive character designs.
