And it gets worse. By the rules of the game, the only way off the island is to be the last person breathing at the end of the carnage, and there are no resets or second lives. Will the skills, tricks, and strategies absorbed while playing on a computer be enough to keep Ryota from being splattered and incinerated?

SYNOPSIS: When Ken Sugisaki is selected for Hekiyou Academy’s student council based on academic achievements rather than popularity, one might expect him to be a fish out of water or to at least struggle to swim in the sea of beautiful girls holding the other seats. However, as Ken is a dating simulation aficionado and his primary duty is writing articles informing the school about Council activities, it’s a match made in his own imaginary Harem Heaven! Of course, how much reality is left in those missives once Ken’s fevered romantic fantasies massage them might be questionable… especially once twisted Chizuru, yaoi-obsessed Mafuyu, juvenile Kurimu, and even boyish Minatsu contribute to his ongoing self-insert soap opera! But does it really matter? Maybe not, as long as the student body is happy reading about what happens at the STUDENT COUNCIL’S DISCRETION!

SYNOPSIS: Hekiyou Academy’s Student Council is back, but they’re not just up to their usual shenanigans. They’re pushing the limit on the kind of behavior befitting a supposedly dignified representation of the student body at large. Okay, maybe any vestige of dignity went up in smoke when they decided to make an anime featuring themselves, so will anyone complain about spicing it up even further? Sure, there are certain losers who believe in things like sticking to the facts, but why can’t student politics be an accurate reflection of politics in the “real world”? And if everything is really about catching attention, of course there’s going to be a hot springs episode! Toss in a few arbitrary mysteries to solve, a smidge of step-sibling romance, and some fourth wall shattering, and you have the STUDENT COUNCIL’S DISCRETION LV. 2!

SYNOPSIS: Although Hitomi lives in a world filled with magic and fantasy, she can only experience its many marvels in a dreary palette of black and white and grey.

Her emotions have followed suit, becoming greyer, darker, and muted, until even the wonders of becoming a Mage and growing into a teenager rarely affect her. But Hitomi’s grandmother has a plan to use a spell that would send Hitomi someplace where the two of them can meet… only this time, her grandmother will be 17! Join the journey to 2018 and witness the hidden powers of love and friendship as Hitomi’s journey unveils the mysteries of IRODUKU: THE WORLD IN COLORS!

The two of them soon encounter Kamui, a pilot from the Saotome Laboratory, and team up with him to become the pilots of humanity’s last hope, Getter Arc.

SYNOPSIS: One of the most confusing parts of life is knowing where you are in a relationship. It’s difficult enough with someone new, but when it’s someone you’ve known for a long time and your own feelings have changed, it’s even worse. That’s where Tsumiki is with Io. They’ve been friends for a while, even though his laid-back nature seems the opposite of Tsumiki’s short fuse, and they both hang with the same group of friends. But while Mayoi, Sakaki, and Hime are all great friends, Tsumiki’s relationship with Io seems a little bit more. Are they a couple? Best friends? Tsumiki can’t figure it out, and asking Io directly could jeopardize what they already have. So she carries on being the best friend she can, but hoping for more, as they go from PLACE TO PLACE.
