Volume 17 and 18 sleeve and paper covers.
For additional context, Draus was "nominated" to be on the covers for two other volume prior to this. Translations by @lavoszero and myself.
Plain text and notes below
Draus: "Northdin, I'm finally on a volume cover but I don't appear in the main story at all, what should I do?"
Northdin: "Don't panic, Draus… You can be on another cover for a volume you're featured in this way."
Draus: "I see, As Expectedin! I'll appear on the next cover for sure!"
Northdin: "No, actually, I may take that spot myself. Fufufu."
[Translator's note: "Sasudin" (translated here as "As Expectedin") is what Draus tends to call Northdin in response to Northdin's advice. It's a portmanteau of "sasuga Northdin ("As expected of Northdin")." He relies on Northdin a lot. By the way, sometimes Northdin goes out of his way to study things so he can give Draus proper advice.]

The bonus leaflet about the Old Blood's childhood. Read text from right to left. Do not repost.
(Translations by @lavoszero and myself. Edits and typesetting by myself)
Plain text below
Toranoana Limited Edition 4-page Colored Leaflet
A meeting where the Old Blood talk about their youth!!!
Ventrue's youth
Ventrue: "My old man took care of me when I was a sickly child. But, whenever I saw my father's wings, I'd vow that one day I would rule the skies as the head of the bloodline!"
Ishikana: "And then you became a gigolo to a human woman."
Ventrue: "I am not a gigolo!!!"
Ishikana's youth
Ishikana: "I don't know who I was created by. But for as long as I can remember, I was worshiped like a god in a village and offered sacrifices."
Mr. Von Creature: "Hold on! Aren't there risqué stories with that set up?"
Ventrue: "Keep Quiet!"
Elder's youth
Elder: "Even as a child, I was obsessed with messing around with ghouls. Those were good times, were they not? There were plenty of fresh reference materials and things to mix in; I pity today's youth."
Draus: "Even if this is a bonus, talking about such things is not allowed, so stop it!"
Mr. Von Creature's youth
Mr. Von Creature: "Not to brag, but I was a blood-borne prodigy."
Young Von Creature: "A dragon and a carriage… interesting…"
Ventrue: "Unbelievable, even at that age your mind was so often in the gutter."
Ishikana: "I hate your single-minded bloodline."
Northdin's youth
Northdin: "……"
Ishikana: "Ah, right, right, there's no need to recount such dark times."
Elder: "You should go eat a seasonal fruit parfait."
Draus's youth
Young Draus: "AAAAAAAAAA!"
Northdin: "Nothing has changed for you…"
[Last Panel]
Draus: "Now, at this time, everyone, keep your mouths shut!"
Ydan: "Tsk"
Draus: "What's more romantic than giving kisses on the thighs—AUGH!"
[Translator's notes: To be honest, I debated having Ishikana call Ventrue a "malewife." Also yes, Elder is implying that he used actual human remains as references and material.]
