[I was reborn too weak to be an adventurer, so I opened an item shop by the dungeon instead!]... more>>

Reborn into a fantastical RPG-system based world, Fresh is offered a second chance at life. Initially glad to have escaped her old life, she quickly realizes that this new one might not be much better. Her new body is too frail to follow any grand dreams of adventure, her new mind is too dulled to allow any meticulous planning and this new, seemingly colorful, kind world is anything but.

Needing a way to survive in this horrible place, Fresh bands together with some unusual people and they take on an entirely new challenge; running an item shop just outside of the dungeon!

Riko is an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world. Among the human population it has been discovered that there are individuals with psychic powers, a vast and dazzling array of abilities, of which Riko has absolutely none. That's right, she's just a girl. No, she can't even nullify psychic abilities, they work 100% as well on her as they do on any other normal person.

How is she special, then? Well, she dreams big. She knows what she wants. What she wants is Aimi, her classmate, who is every bit the powerful esper that Riko is not. Of course, Aimi would rather not give Riko the time of day if she could help it, but that's not stopping Riko. Riko's determination is too strong to let a little ambivalence bordering on outright dislike stop her. Besides, they're both in the parapsychology club, so they're going to be seeing a lot of each other.

Plus, maybe she really does have a special ability. <<less

This is the seventh installment in our 'Magic of the Moon' series, and it picks up a few days after 'Missing Persons' left off.

“...would you like to become my servant... or something...” ... more>>

This is no fantasy world. No superpowers exist, neither does magic. He’s an ordinary middle school student. He doesn’t have any hobbies, nor anything to look forward to as he lives his tedious and unchanging life every day.

Normally, there would be no point telling his story.

However, one day, something strange happens. He accidentally stumbles upon a strange girl. Immediately he notices her unusual appearance—one of her eyes is concealed under a black eyepatch.

Caught up in utter confusion, he barely notices when the girl asks him to become her ‘servant’, but doesn’t give him any time to respond as she runs away.

As it turns out soon, the girl appears to be completely detached from the real world. She pretends to be strong and tough, but it doesn’t take much to reveal her bashful and cowardly side.

The protagonist—Fujioka Takao—initially driven by curiosity, decides to put up with the eccentric girl, but at some point, the situation gets out of his control.

Thus begins his story, which quickly proves to be the story of his youth.

Hear as we tell your wondrous tales,
Of how seasons pass but love prevails.... more>>

As monsoon skies weep droplets clear and pure.
A hunter and spirit discover fate anew
As the curtain closes over the winter view.
