Young Jennifer Barakat had a dream, to be like no one ever was, to never be like her parents who were always obsessed over their work.... more>>

While she wouldn’t go as far as saying she hated her parents, she did resent them for always prioritizing their life’s ambitions first rather than their family first.

It was one of the reasons why they didn’t live together.

Not that they weren’t still married or didn’t love each other; which they are and do still love each other, very much!

But the problem was their work.

Her mother was a front runner and figurehead in the protection of the region she was from; keeping it safe from a terrorist group that threatened her homeland.

Her father, from another region, was dedicated to his own work in discovering and helping categorize the creatures there to help the professor he worked under.

After a certain incident, Jennifer’s mother was scared for her daughter’s safety like never before. She then sent Jennifer to go live with her father: her parents hoping to help keep their daughter safe and out of harms way by living with him, rather than living in the Ejalup region.

Now, with her ticket in hand. Fourteen year old Jennifer Barakat sets out towards her father’s homeland, her second home.

The Hoenn region. <<less

As Mary would summarize her story:
“It all started when I found a wallet. Routine maintenance on a fifteen-passenger van and out drops a... more>> wallet. That gets me fired. The next day I am in Fort Meade, home of the National Security Agency. They have a job for me. For reasons of their own, they want me to do a series of YouTube videos on car maintenance for women. Odd, right? Six months later, I am popular enough to warrant an invitation to a big convention and a chance to meet auto executives. One was from China. The guy was gorgeous. Treated me right. Would I go with him to China? Absolutely.
Loved the man, lived with the man, almost married the man. Change in direction (he married someone else). I stayed in China and did some tourism videos for Chinese cities. That somehow led to bit parts in local movies. Bit parts became bigger parts. The movies I did were of interest to the Chinese government, and to our government. My interest was in the director. Loved the man, lived with the man, decided he would be my husband and the father of my children. Complications along the way? Yup. But he was the one. I was sure. Well, mostly sure.” <<less

After losing his parents in a sudden accident, Han Hugo, enveloped with guilt and full of blame, asked his grandfather to let him move to japan.... more>>

Not wanting to part with his only family left, Han Suchang hesitated, but in hopes for his grandson to move on and realize what is not his fault, he yielded. Giving him time to think about life and find happiness once again.

"Girl, I'm very sorry..."

"Ahh, grandpa, it's okay! I'm not hurt at all"

"But my grandson hit you"

"He bumped into me, and it was an accident, so it's really fine- haha"

"But still"

"No, it's totally fine!"

The girl thought so, in fact she was startled when she accidentally bumped into a stranger, and the messy hair and bloody clothes didn't help at all...but after the grandpa in front of her explained and asked for forgiveness, only then she understood. In fact it was nothing at all, it wasn't like she got hurt, so she said it was fine.

And she was really running late, the time for the plane to take off to japan was almost near...

Alex decided to become a mangaka artist with the knowledge he has from his previous life to support his family and lift his family from obscurity and financial problems! but before he could do that, some shit happened, in this parallel world, none of his works or his predecessor's works exist in this world. In this world, Manga from his world doesn't exist. Reborn in a parallel world where famous works such as FragonbollZ and Card Camping Cactuar, Square box Spongeboxers, and Kyoto Ghouls DOESN"T EXIST! What would Alex do?

Alex would change the manga industry in this world and profit from it! by plagiarising! hahahaaha!
Famous works from anime?
Don't mind if I do!
Light Novel hits?
Don't mind If I do!
Expensive Merch like figurines? and plastic crap?
You know the drill!

Just so happens, he has a little system that gives me manga-related skills from his previous world. Noruto-style brush technique for the Mission reward? don't mind if I do!

hold up, something's not right.

Hey system, you're sealing all of my anime and manga skills behind a damn PAYWALL?! WHAT GIVES?! An Eldritch god is sponsoring me?! What the fuck is the dreamer?! Hey?! why is the world trying to stop me from changing stuff in this world?! The fucking Yakuza wants to kill me too?! Hey system, are you sabotaging me? you're doing this right? Right?!

Why is this system trying to sabotage my new Isekai life?! Screw it. I'll just do whatever I want. <<less

James had always had issues with people, that's what happens when you have severe social anxiety. And then she gets a notification about some "System Integration".... more>>

Fine. At least if she's going crazy it's just with code, she can deal with it. And it seems everyone is seeing things together. So maybe she's actually sane? But her social anxiety is enough to get her in trouble even here. She'll get through it. She'll just get stronger. Strong enough that she won't need to deal with anyone. Strong enough that she won't need to avoid people; they'll avoid her.

"The catgirls have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win.
WORKING CATS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"... more>>

Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes, humans, and bipedal, humanoid cats. Known as the “cat paradise”, the nation boasts an impressive population of around nine million domestic catfolk with even more unaccounted-for strays. The “nekonomy” of Japan is the largest in the world; many would assume that such a large economy would trickle down to bring prosperity to the catfolk.

Prosperity for the common cat is nothing but a dream in a catpitalist system rife with fat-cats and nekonomic exploitation.

Cats, those that are “domestic” at least, are second-class citizens who can only freely travel with government-issued certification in the form of a bell around their neck. Those who don’t have a family are less than second-class citizens; strays (which compromise a majority of the cat population) are forced into workhouses and exploited as cheap labor. Those who cannot work in a profitable manner are kicked out of the workhouses and left to die on the harsh streets.

Despite these abysmal conditions, most people pay no mind to the horrors of the nekonomy. Many go about their day, enjoying cheap products manufactured from the blood and sweat of the catfolk.

Who do mind are the exploited catfolk themselves; a specter is haunting Japan – the specter of total nekonomic collapse, aided by another specter from a century past. <<less
