HOW FAR I WILL BE ABLE TO GO? TO THE MOON? Appare Sorano’s dreams are big—bigger than his village, bigger than the sea, bigger than the Earth itself. So when fate sweeps him away to Los Angeles without a penny to his name, Appare sees not catastrophe but an opportunity. Likewise, when he hears talk of the $1.51 million prize for the Trans-America Wild Race—a transcontinental trek through the American frontier—he jumps right into the thick of it, dragging a prideful samurai along for the ride. After all, how else is he supposed to get enough funding to fly himself to the moon?!

Joe Tazuna has always been the most selfless person Sara Chidouin has ever known, someone she could count on to take a bullet for her. But that trust is put to the test when they wake up restrained to some strange tables and discover Joe holds a key that can set only one of them free. Thus begins a mysterious and sadistic game that will require all of their wits and faith in each other to survive…!

Seeking strength and glory, the adventurer Lecan challenges monster and maze alike. Until one day, he finds a mysterious black hole…leading to another world! But even in a different world, the path of the “One-Eyed Wolf” remains unchanged. The only question is—can he survive the new world?

After leaving Zeidmoore Manor and returning to the life of a traveling adventurer, Lecan’s first order of business is to find an apothecary capable of replenishing his limited stock of effective medicine. His best bet lies in the city of Volka, and he is soon hired as a bodyguard for a wagon headed there—a position he will share with the (self-professed) master adventurer Eda. Can Lecan survive attacks by monsters and bandits with only someone who couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag watching his back?!

After overcoming countless trials, Lecan has proven himself worthy to Sheila, a “humble” apothecary of immense magic power. While her knowledge of pharmacy is more than valuable enough, Lecan also learns how to use an entirely new form of magic under her tutelage, a discovery that has the stoic, hardened adventurer grinning with childish delight. Armed with more abilities than ever before, Lecan resolves to take on the greatest challenge he’s faced in this world—Golbul dungeon...

The sudden death of Mishima has thrown everyone trapped in this strange facility-but most of all his former student Nao-into despair. They have no choice but to keep searching together for some way to escape, but paranoia and doubt are beginning to take hold of them...

The brutal and sadistic Main Game has finally begun. The unwilling players have no choice but to vote for who will die by majority rule…but there’s a twist. Some players hold cards with secret, unique roles that modify the rules of the game, and Sara’s role is the “Keymaster”—if she’s voted out, all of them will die! But nearly everyone else is just as desperate not to be sacrificed, and ugly secrets will come to light as they try to convince one another there’s somebody more deserving...

A kidnapped and blindfolded princess’s time in darkness with her silent caretaker. The ten minutes an ordinary woman spends with her tied-up stalker. The last six months a man has before he loses his beloved wife to cancer. These are a few of the moments we share with the characters brought to life by Toryumon Takeda in this collection of seven short stories, including her highly acclaimed “My Wife Whom I Loved Dearly.” But what will become of each of them?

The Main Game is about uncovering the truth—and with multiple ways to lose by voting out the wrong player, doing so is a matter of life and death. But there is someone lurking among the players who will do anything to lead them astray, and Sara knows that if she doesn’t expose the demon’s lies, tragedy will befall them all…
