Seiya Kanie is a good looking, perfectionist boy who is forced by the mysterious Isuzu Sento to visit an amus**ent park named Amagi Brilliant Park, which is in serious financial trouble and about to be closed forever.... more>>

The park is actually staffed by refugees from a magical realm called Maple Land, and the park is a facility for harvesting magical energy from visitors while they’re having fun. As such, the park is the only way the refugees can maintain their existence in the human realm.

To save the park from closing, Seiya is hired by the owner, Latifa Fleuranza, to use his skills in entertainment to become its new manager. However, to not lose the land to a real estate agency, they have only three months left to attract 250,000 visitors, a feat that seems impossible given the park’s current situation. <<less

Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it's less cool when you're sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you'll be punished when you return to work the next day. The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient - just a temporary reassignment to the company's entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read "servant") to Shiro Hoshizono, the "Star Watcher": A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle... more>> aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

The day after his new assignment, Kazuo and Hoshizono leave for Saitama Prefecture, where Hoshizono has been recruited to become an image character for a campground in the mountains, alongside a group of other colorful characters, including a romance novelist with the looks of Cleopatra but the personality of someone's grandpa and a UFO obsessed conspiracy theorist.

But the morning after their arrival, their host is found strangled to death in his lodge, the road back is buried in an avalanche, and... you can probably see where this is going.

Turns out, despite how he comes across normally, Hoshizono is actually a genius detective!

The novel features a unique chapter naming scheme where each chapter is titled as a three to four sentence summary of its own contents, focused upon what information about the case is discovered and what evidence appears, for ease of reference.

Yokodera is just like every teenage boy: perversion is in his nature. He can’t help but look up girls’ skirts and fantasize about them. However,... more>> in his case, every time he does something pe*verted, it somehow gets turned around and misunderstood as something positive for the community. Sick of being so pe*verted, he tries to shake free of it by going to a special part of town. On top of a hill, away from the town and at the foot of a large tree, there is a wooden sculpture of a beckoning cat that is said to have special powers. Instead of bringing a wish to the user like a typical beckoning cat, it takes something from the user, and, in Yokodera’s case, his perversion. Still doubtful, he uses the beckoning cat thinking that it couldn’t hurt to try, but, little does he know, his life is about to make a turn to the unexpected. <<less

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

The su*cide of a high school girl following the rejection of her crush whom she confessed to roused the soul of a Scorpio Planet Marshal from her 200 million years of slumber — she reincarnated into the body of Xuan Mo. And so, she decided to live on Earth on behalf of the girl! However, it was quite the miserable situation for an alien to own two different sets of memories. She had to use her peculiar mental power to peep into the previous owner’s memories regarding everyday, mundane matters while trying to rein in her cutting aura pretending to be a normal human…... more>>

But her shocking performance during military training definitely must have floored everyone. Okay fine, her incredible finesse aside, what’s with the consecutive bullseye for every single round during their shooting competition? Was this something a normal female student is able to achieve? Shouldn’t you explain yourself a little damnit! And what’s with the multiple grade jumps, and being contended for by the various prestigious universities? What kinda havoc you try’na wreck with your low-key flaunting? I mean it’s a good thing she’s caught the eye of a special organisation and was entrusted with important tasks, but what’s with all aloof rule-breaking gameplay? She’s practically the walking definition of “hated by even the gods”.

What’s even stranger was that Xuan Mo’s only ever interested in warring matters and battling; she’ll only ever pay her ferociously blooming blossom luck as much heed as she minds the passing cloud with the mindset of crossing the bridge when she reaches it (wipes sweat) and can you be less insensitive when handling the various Earthlings’ endless crushing and eye-candying you?!

This all screeches to a halt however when she discovers the existence of someone else from her home-planet, so she’ll be needing a raincheck with the getting a “spouse” part of mortal life on the Blue Planet. Of course, we’re discussing this on the premise that she wanted to return home… <<less

Three years goes by so quickly that their contract ends.

Kyle, who lost his memory in a timely manner, returns from the expedition.

‘So he doesn’t remember the marriage contract?’

An idea that Kyle might be a little scared to know crossed Emily’s mind.

“I think I told you before.”

The harsh voice gave her goosebumps. As soon as the man’s solid body fell off of her for a while, her body floated into the air. And when she closed her eyes and opened up, she was lying on the bed.

Before she could get up, Kyle climbed on top of her. And slowly unbuttoned his cuffs.

In the meantime, his gaze did not fall from Emily.

His expression seemed dull, but his eyes were burning. And the lower body that was touching her was already….
