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

"Adel, as of today, I strip you of your position as the Seventh Prince! Never show your face in front of me again!"... more>>

This world, I thought, is filled with "unreasonableness."

The leader of an adventurer party who treats comrades like disposable pawns.
A corrupt lord who imposes tyranny on the people while indulging in steak himself.
A guild master who dismisses loyal comrades with a single word of salary theft.
A noble brat who discards his fiancée just because he found a new woman.

And... a shitty parent who banishes their own son just because he didn't inherit the desired ability.

The protagonist, Adel Vandale, wanted to eradicate such unfairness from this world.
Having been labeled as having an inferior job ability and expelled from the royal family, he himself had bitter experiences of having his position as the Seventh Prince stripped away.

Two years after being banished from the royal family, Adel operated a "Revenge Agency" to eliminate the unfairness rampant in the world.
He believed it would be a way to utilize the job ability bestowed upon him by the gods.

"Adel-sama, today's client has arrived."

Meya, a maid, announced, and yet another "client" visited Adel's revenge agency today.

"Executioner-sama! Please, please avenge me...!"

Upon hearing those words, Adel activated the job ability bestowed upon him by the gods, and a jet-black scythe appeared in his hand.

"Magic Scythe: Igarima."

Adel's ability that was once scorned as inferior.
It was an ability to grow stronger based on the opponent's misdeeds and harvest their job abilities.

"The execution coefficient is 7023 points... This guy is quite the bastard again."

Adel muttered, wielding the jet-black scythe in hand.

To execute one more unjust person who had spawned unfairness in this world today... <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

'I will try to become the man you want.' So, Amelia." The voice that used to sweetly stick to my ear gradually faded away. It secretly begged not to turn away from me as it dug into my ear. "Please allow me by your side." He gently lifted a handful of my hair, then, as if to assert, brought it to his lips and slowly kissed me without breaking our gaze. It was a dizzying gaze that made my whole body flush. "No matter what happens, I will never leave you." <<less
