First Look: In the Clear Moonlit Dusk

Dubbed the school’s “prince” for her stunning appearance and perfect poise, Yoi Takiguchi is secretly tired of the constant admiration and attention of her peers. However, when the school’s other “prince,” Kohaku Ichimura, calls her beautiful and acknowledges her as a young woman with the same kinds of desires as any other high school girl, Yoi finds herself unaccountably flustered and, against all odds, perhaps even falling for him.

First Look: Hana-Kimi

Mizuki Ashiya is your seemingly cheerful, scrappy young girl living in the United States.

Shockingly, however, Sano tells her he has quit the sport and never intends to compete again.

First Look: The Darwin Incident

Charlie is a normal 15 year old starting high school except for one detail – he’s the world’s first Human-Chimpanzee hybrid, a ‘Humanzee’. As he forges a friendship with loner girl Lucy, the eco-terrorists who attempted to free his mother are re-emerging with a new agenda.

This takes some getting used to for Asa, who decides to start chronicling her experiences in a journal.
