For Tohko Amano, a third-year high-school student and self-styled “book girl,” being the head of the literary club is more than just an extracurricular activity. It’s her bread and butter…literally! Tohko is actually a literature-gobbling demon, who can be found at all hours of the day munching on torn out pages from all kinds of books. But for Tohko, the real delicacies are hand-written stories. To satisfy her gourmet tastes, she’s employed (rather, browbeaten) one Konoha Inoue, who scribbles away each day after school to satisfy Tohko’s appetite. But when another student comes knocking on the literary club door for advice on writing love letters, will Tohko discover a new kind of delicacy?... more>>

【Main story completion】After being assaulted by a tentacle monster and its conveniently aphrodisiac mucus, I remembered my past life. It was then I realized that this was the world of a 18 restricted otome game. It seems that I’ve reincarnated into the game『Snow White and the Seven Lovers』as the heroine Snow White. ――In this game, no matter which route you take you would be caught and violated by seven men eventually.

I haven’t even gone out with a girl yet!! ……Alright, let’s run away.... more>>

July 15, 2043. On that day, a Full Dive VRMMO was released, its unique system called ＜Embryo＞ allowing each player to follow an extremely varied—or rather, an “infinitely” varied pattern of evolution. That game’s name?... more>>

＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

Possessing an element that, until now, had never been achieved by VRMMOs and was considered a technical impossibility, ＜Infinite Dendrogram＞ took over the entire world, becoming a major hit in the blink of an eye.

One and a half year had passed since the launch of ＜Infinite Dendrogram＞. A young man named Mukudori Reiji had finished his university entrance exams and began living alone in Tokyo. In order to celebrate the end of that lengthy studying period, after being invited by his older brother long ago, he finally started playing the game.

This is a story where the line between game and reality is blurred.

Allison is an adventure series set in a world containing one continent (extending roughly from the Equator to 60 degrees North latitude) which is divided down the center by a towering mountain range and a huge river. The industry and technology of the world are roughly equivalent to Europe in the 1930s. Due to the geography, two cultures developed on either side of the divide, and at the time the story begins, the cultures have been at war on and off for hundreds of years. The bloodiest conflict yet began thirty-five years before the start of the story; both sides are so exhausted by the conflict that an uneasy armistice is signed after some five... more>> years of fighting. Aside from a brief conflict over the jurisdiction of the river, resulting in the formation of a buffer zone on either side, this peace has largely been unbroken. The east side of the world is known as Roxche, though formally the region's name is the Roxcheanuk Confederation. The entire region comprises sixteen countries which all speak a common language. The west side is known as Sou Beil, though formally the region's name is the Allied Kingdoms of Bezel Iltoa. The region comprises the two kingdoms of Bezel and Iltoa which both serve to bring together a small number of countries under a common language different than that of the eastern region. There are far more blond-haired people in the West than the East.

At the beginning of the first novel, Allison, a pilot in the Roxche Air Force, has come to visit her childhood friend Wilhelm ("Wil" for short), who has remained at school over his summer break to continue his studies. While traveling in the countryside near the school, the two encounter an old man well-known to Wil's schoolmates as a teller of tall tales. Nevertheless, he captures their interest with his talk about a "treasure" which, if found, is said to be able to put an end to the war. No one would believe him that the war between the countries could ever end, so no one listened to him. When the old man is abducted and taken over to Sou Beil, Allison and Wil steal an airplane and chase the abductors across the river into the next region. Fortunately, the two were raised as orphans by a woman who came from the West, and thus can speak both languages. <<less

In the world of Dulmond, there was a mage who had spent his whole life striving for the peak of power.

Despite his many attempts, he was ultimately never able to make himself feel human again, or feel even anything at all.
