Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun
yaku yuuki, 屋久ユウキ
This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)! Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth. After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design. That’s why it’s a sh*t game. Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake. — However, that person, on top of having mastered gaming to about the same level as I, declared to me that Life is a god-tier game. Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life? …… Normally, I wouldn’t believe such a thing. However, Hinami Aoi is someone who does not fit into a frame like ‘normal’ at all! From the winner of the 10th Shogakukan Light Novel Award for Excellence. A low-tier character takes on life’s strategy guide, but with instruction from a pretty girl!

Baccano!

It all started 300 years ago on a boat where the alchemists summoned the “demon” in order to obtain the method of immortality. The demon gave the alchemists the liquor of immortality, the only way to die is to pass down the way to produce the liquor. But the following night, one of the alchemist started to devour his companions. To escape the threat, the alchemists scattered all over the world.

I am a vampire, entrusted with the Island of Growerth and bestowed with the title of ‘viscount.’ Instead of introducing myself, I thought I might recount the story of a disturbance which occurred on my island.

At any rate, my body is…”

The journey of seizing dreams continues, and one can only hope that the sun will continue illuminating the human heart. —— Fire beacons on the Great Wall were lit up to signal a border invasion.
