By mere coincidence, Kazuhiki Nukumizu witnesses his classmate Anna Yanami having her heart broken by the boy she has been in love with for years. Much against his wishes, this makes him the ideal person for Anna to vent her frustrations to, sparking the beginning of a peculiar friendship.
Masaki used to be a member of a popular livestream group, but after getting fired for punching one of the other members she needs a new hook for her solo channel. Fortunately it doesn’t take long for her to run into Live, a vampire who’s dead-set on sucking her blood.
Indisputable proof that book-smart guys with glasses can not only attract hot girls but more than one at a time.
A former delinquent has changed her ways and is now a perfect student living a perfect school life. All of this falls apart when she meets Nokotan, a bizarre girl with deer antlers who threatens to reveal her past.
Saki Aoi confesses her love to her senpai, Makoto. Turns out the person she was confessing to is a self-described otokonoko. Saki doesn’t give up, and neither does Makoto’s male friend Ryuji, who knows his secret and also has a crush on Makoto. A love triangle of multiple sexualities and gender expressions may sound hard work, but it can be good fun too.
At the end of the Kamakura Shogunate, Hojo Tokiyuki flees the Siege of Kamakura, desperate to gather allies and take vengeance for his family’s death. Also he is a small anime boy who’s real good at parkour.
He’s a genius at deduction. She’s really into confectionery. Together, they solve incredibly mundane mysteries and try to survive high school.
Mao Tsuchiya, a member of his high school’s film club, and Hisashi Ootomo, an introverted classmate, are reluctant roommates. However, when the film club wants to cast Hisashi as the lead for their upcoming boys’ love-themed movie, Hisashi surprisingly agrees, and the two find themselves drawing closer. The only problem is that while both are attracted to men, Hisashi already has a boyfriend, and both have promised to keep their relationship purely platonic.
A young woman named Tamako applies for a job at a ramen shop, but seeing as the shop is run by cats, it’s not quite the job she thought she signed up for.
Rin Nanakura is a talented actress and naturally, she decides to join the drama club. One of her dorky senpais jokes about wanting a harem of pretty girls, and she plays along by becoming a one woman harem – using her acting skills to play different classic character types like The Cool Girl and The Tsundere.
Saneatsu is a painfully ordinary high school student when one day he’s roped unwillingly into a life-or-death game which has already killed more than half of the population of Tokyo. The survivors must continue to answer questions set for them by a mysterious and seemingly all-powerful ‘Emperor’.
When the American government discovers a portal to another dimension, the ruthless Amanda Waller engineers a plot to send in a “suicide squad” of imprisoned supervillains. With nano bombs inserted into their necks to enforce total obedience, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Clayface, Peacemaker and King Shark are promised a reduced sentence if they help Waller achieve her mysterious objectives in this world of magic and monsters.
