S Vol. 1... more>>

Shiba is a detective in the fifth anti-organized crime division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, a.k.a. “Anti-Gang 5” specializing in handgun seizures. Shiba’s secret weapon is “S” (“spy”), an informant who plays a key role in Shiba’s information gathering. Shiba is training an informant who has been officially accepted into Shinjuku’s Matsukura Group within the Budoha crime syndicate. One day, Shiba awakes to an anonymous phone call. “Watch out for your S.” A tale of two men whose lust, pride and loneliness collide!

S Vol. 2: A Love Bite

Detective Masaki Shiiba's informant or "S," Keigo Munechika, has proven himself to be an excellent source of information. But the payment of s*x for every lead given is taking its toll on Shiiba. But with his new assignment as back-up to a fellow undercover detective, Shiiba learns that there are far worse things than having s*x with your male S--falling helplessly in love with him, for example. S volume 2 continues the drama and passion between a detective and his spy set in the highly-charged underground world of Tokyo.

S Vol. 3: Split

For almost a year now, Shiiba has been using Keigo Munechika as his “S,” his spy, to get information on the gun dealings of the Yakuza world. Shiiba uses his body in exchange for Munechika's sensitive information… and only his body as far as Shiiba is concerned. Shiiba vows their relationship will not go beyond that. But when a rowdy young man with a penchant for piercing and an enigmatic Yakuza leader cross paths with the young detective, sins of the past are unearthed once more-sins that just might shatter the fragile bond between the detective and his “S.”

S Vol. 4: Afterglow

At the end of S volume 3, detective Masaki Shiiba was last seen running away from the hospital room of his injured S, Keigo Munechika. Now, Shiiba has turned in his resignation, bought a gun of his own, and is bent on only one mission--to kill Takanari Godou. He vows to get the truth from Godou, even if he has to throw away his morals and life to do it. But can he do it? Can he shoot another person and commit cold-blooded mu*der for revenge? <<less

Shu Tang woke up one day to find the world gone mad; humanity was no longer content with just male and female, creating six ABO genders instead.

Shu Tang felt she might be one of the common betas, making up 80% of the population—non-aggressive, not too sensitive, quite peace-loving, and without anything extra to her person, just an utterly ordinary beta.

Then, on her adulthood test: Supreme Alpha!

Shu Tang: ?

Shu Tang's spirit is a cat. Supported by her SSS-tier spirit, she not only interned at the federal secret sanatorium but also got matched with a fragile omega.

When visiting her delicate fiancé, she mistook 10 for 01 and entered Restricted Area No. 1.

In the Restricted Area lives "Patient No. 1".

An unbeaten legend, the grand leader of the federation, known as the pioneer of human nuclear weapons.

This leader is an omega, with a merman as his spirit—no secret there.

However, due to his monstrous combat abilities, the discussions usually aren't about whether he's omega, but whether he's human at all.

After a psychic outburst, he became a "monster."

Wherever he resided turned into the Restricted Area.

Those who trespassed met grim fates.

Shu Tang entered the Restricted Area.

Reportedly, her fiancé was too frail to fend for himself.

She saw her fiancé's terrifying, silent figure in the dark.
Shu Tang noted: He must be shy.

She saw her fiancé's fishtail in the sea, water dripping down, his complexion pale and eyes pitch black.
Shu Tang noted: Low blood sugar.

She found her fiancé's voice hoarse, never speaking, only emitting beast-like, raspy threatening sounds from his throat.
Shu Tang noted: Quiet by nature, not talkative.

Shu Tang managed to get out.

An alpha asked: Did you see any terrifying beings?

Shu Tang: "Are you talking about the blue rose?"

Other alphas: ?

Blue rose? Who?

Cat, blushing: "He's nice, just not very healthy."

Other alphas: ?

Why would she be blushing?

Later, everyone thought Cat a was the one who most relied on the grand leader.

But they didn’t know—

To him, Cat was the blue rose, his spiritual support, his lifeline, his entire conception of living.

She was the one he clung to as he withered.

And in her presence, he grew silently. <<less

Thus, Shang Ke started a never-ending cycle of constantly throwing away his miserable life.

He would always show himself as a martyr while letting others cry over his death.

It was because of a woman’s curse that Shang Ke was hit by a car and turned into a human vegetable. This led to him becoming bound by an unlucky system in which he was cursed to die. The most unfortunate part was that he never cheated on anyone’s feelings. The reason for why he was cursed by a woman was because of a guy named Qi Chen. Qi Chen was a ladies man, and he would always use Shang Ke as an excuse to break up with any woman that he was with. As a result, Shang Ke was always blamed for the breakups. Since then, the main character could only be forced to cross into different worlds. He would thus experience for himself, the hero’s “thrill”. <<less

Anonymous: “Transmigrating into a movie you’ve never seen before.”

When Gu Yu woke up, he found himself transmigrated to a werebeast planet and becoming an ‘artificial female’ given to the imperial marshal.... more>>

Shudder.

While the males on Brilliant Splendor are so capable that they can freely switch from beast to human form, the females were too fragile in human form and lost the ability to become human during the catastrophe.

It was the most common desire of the males – that their partners have human forms.

To satisfy this desire, a new product appeared on the market: artificial females – biological robots that are identical to natural human females, equipped with intelligent chips, and capable of responding to stimuli.

Planet Law stipulates that, in order to ensure the birth rate of the young, if one does not marry on their own by the age of eighty, they will be issued a partner by the Star Network.

Brilliant Splendor’s oldest prime bachelor, Marshal Cyno Bruce, made a decision that shocked the network when he was about to turn eighty.

- Marry an artificial female.

Cyno: Marry a beast female, no way! As for artificial females? Well, it’s cheap and it will not be a hindrance.

Later…

Really fragrant! _(:з”∠)_ Baby, let me hold you! <<less

The Ji Rang in everybody’s eyes:

Horridly short tempered! Extremely rich! It’s best not to cross paths with him!

The Ji Rang in Qi Ying’s eyes:

The General is simply executing Heaven’s will and punishing the evildoers! The General is simply robbing the rich to feed the poor! The General is superb and amazing!

Ji Rang pressed Qi Ying against the wall:-

Qi Ying: “Oh, when a boy presses a girl against the wall, he has every intention of kissing her, mua~!”

Ji Rang: ???

“Ji Rang, did you really bring your girlfriend along to spectate our fight? Are you looking down on me right now?”

“I’m not looking down on you. I just want to let my little fairy observe how I punish evildoers and reward kind people.”

Everyone’s afraid of Ji Rang;

I don't know anything.
I don't know anything about the outside world, about human warmth, about my parents' love, about words, about food, about clothes, about joy, anger, sorrow, and self-expression.
My mother left this world due to a difficult childbirth, and as a result, my father never smiled at me, gave me nothing but violence, locked me in a private room, gave me only a small piece of bread that was too hard for me to eat and a glass of water a day, and kept me in confinement.

And the person who appeared in front of me, the cat, and the bird was not an assassin, but a scary-looking, very strong older brother.
Why?
I'm nothing, I'm worthless, I'm ・・・・ just a little thing, but why does everyone hate me?
Why do people hate me? Should I not have been born in this world? <<less

The staff frowned as they looked at the handsome young man in front of them.... more>>

No wonder he's a top graduate, with that skin, those features. With his appearance alone, he certainly has the qualifications to be an outstanding graduate.

When the young man restrained the few traces of gentleness on the surface, his expressionless face truly resembled a cold and stunning beauty. He didn't need to do anything; just standing there was enough to tantalize people's hearts and lungs.

—With such a cold and elegant face, he could surely fit into a "forced love" script.

Little did anyone know, this person just has a cold facade, but his mind was focused solely on being a good wife, assisting his husband and educate his children, doing laundry and cooking. <<less

“Don’t treat me like a war trophy. After all, I’m your husband.”... more>>

The prince from a defeated kingdom was quite arrogant for someone who’d been sold as a hostage. I thought we could live amicably, even though it was a loveless political marriage that happened for the sake of propaganda. Until he came to my secret pawnshop to raise money for the purpose of securing a hideout for his secret lover.

He scattered a pile of sparkling jewels in front of me, who was under a disguise. Those were the wedding gifts I’d given him. Since it’d come to this, I’d play along for now and expose him for what he was. I’d expose the shameless true nature that was hidden behind that pure-looking face that was as delicate as a handful of violets.

“You don’t think your wife sees you as a man?”

“She thinks of me a young and innocent boy. She seems to think our age gap is too big.”

His words left me flustered, and I swallowed hard.

Oh my, I mean, I did think he was young, but it’s not like I wasn’t aware of him as a man……

Gosh, I wondered why it was getting hot under the collar.

“It pains me that my wife sees our relationship as one of guilt and debt when she looks at me.” He muttered to himself, self-deprecatingly.

“I’m a man too, you know. And I’m desperately attracted to her. So much so that it’s even starting to bother me.” <<less

One could occasionally hear crying at dawn.

As soon as he realized that he was in someone else’s body named ‘Ian’, the high gates were opened, and he met the owner of the mansion, who had blue blood on him; the color of the serpent.

"I've been worried a lot since you got back covered in blood.
It's good to see you breathing fine."

His hair disheveled and as dark as the night. Tall, dark skinned with slender eyes, the aura around him felt slightly dominant.

[Ah, he’s the man I had already killed.]

Ian realizes the moment he looks at his face,

He can't think of his name or the reason why I killed him.
The man had a suspicious attitude…. <<less
