SYNOPSIS: Shinjurou Yuuki should be known as one of the greatest detectives of all time. Instead, he lives in a dystopian future where the job of solving Japan’s crime usually falls to a techno-wizard and a nationwide network of wiretaps, cameras, and super-computers. This leads many to consider human detectives flawed and obsolete, but the dirty truth is that computerized detective work is highly subject to data manipulation, so even the police must sometimes turn to private investigator Shinjurou and his shapeshifting assistant Inga. Of course, unearthing those buried secrets can put a huge target on their backs, but that’s all part of the job in UN-GO!

SYNOPSIS: Even though the world’s spy schools comb the planet for the top prospective new talent, every so often they pick some girls who don’t quite make the grade. Can self-proclaimed “World’s Greatest Spy” Klaus drill enough Spy Q into team leader Lily and her fellow failing spy-girl classmates for them to survive the impossible mission that’s their last chance of passing? Or will they end up passing on in an unfortunately fatal final exam? Get ready for superspies, stupor-ed spies, and spy-jinks galore as espionage and education collide violently head-on in the first two explosive series of SPY CLASSROOM!

Inexplicably, Kongming finds himself in a younger body in a very strange land! But why has a master of feudal diplomacy and the art of war been brought to modern Japan? He seems overqualified for flipping burgers, but then destiny calls in the entrancing voice of aspiring singer Eiko Tsukimi. Learning of her troubles in becoming a professional, Kongming’s quest is secured: applying his formidable craft, intellect, and bag of ancient Chinese secrets to the task of making Eiko a star! Pity now the executives of the Japanese music industry, for they are but mere men, and they face the promotional assault of a legend reborn: YA BOY KONGMING!

So, when Cid‘s sister Claire must journey to the infamous Lawless City, guess who gets dragged along?

So, when an official appears at the door with a beautiful half-human, half-snake lamia and the news that Kimihito’s been volunteered as a host family, what’s a good citizen to do? Besides Miia IS really cute, so Kimihito figures that they’ll learn to adapt to living with each other eventually. But will they manage to do so before even MORE adorable monster girls start showing up to fill the entire house in MONSTER MUSUME: EVERYDAY LIFE WITH MONSTER GIRLS?

Definitely Eminence in Shadow S2
Spy Classroom is a maybe (it helps that it has both Seasons)
Mon Musu back in print is a bonus (Does it mean that it’s coming back to HiDive?) although I’ve already bought it twice

-and totally still waiting on Luminous Witches (Hey I need my complete Strike Witches 'verse on disc)

These are all yes, if I can find the extra money. (MonMusu having the revised discs from the Steel book version is a big plus!)

Major ditto!!!

Though… Do you have the “Taking Off” sets???

No, I would buy Operation Victory Arrow if it was available, but Take off was a Comedy Spin off and I really didn’t like it all that much. and while Slime Diaries was good for a watch, but again spin off, and really didn’t think I’d want to watch it a 2nd time

Un-Go and Monster Musume already on the shelf, so nothing this month.
Have to give Un-Go a rewatch sometime soon.
See if it stays on the shelf.

Monster Mu, you’re fine…no need to worry.
