After Kuroe drove away another kaiju that showed up in Tokyo, she revealed to her boyfriend, Minami, that she and Harugon are one and the same. Now, on a faraway, undeveloped island, she’s learned the secret of her origins. And the truth may be quite dangerous…

Despite her best efforts to keep her budding relationship with Insta-famous classmate Arata Minami under wraps, Kuroe Akaishi is thrust into the spotlight—only this time in human form. With the new semester underway, the socially awkward kaiju finds herself attracting all sorts of unwanted attention. Can she handle her newfound popularity...?!

Is it bad for me to tell people we’re datingdating? Huh?! Who’s dating whom now? I said I’d think about it. And how exactly does he go from “I’ll come watch your games” to “I’ll be your girlfriend”? Stupid jerk even told the entire basketball team that he’s going out with a third-year. Between those rumors and running into Hakamada-kun—and therefore having to deal with pouty Naruse— everything’s driving me up the wall! Why am I even considering this whole thing...?

We already made it through two days without any Naruse-related incidents (or at least any public ones), so if he could just hang on for one more day ! But of course that rug rat is starting to get all antsy—being super-touchyfeely, saying whatever he wants... Doesn’t he realize that being around the team will become ultra-awkward if we start dating? I do have to admit, though, I might kind of sort of be thinking about it—after I leave the team, obviously...

Huh?! What does he even mean?! Stupid brat!! First he doesn’t push that girl away—after she kissed him—and now he’s saying THAT?? While eating squid? I mean, I know I’m the one who’s been avoiding talking to him head-on, and I did tell him to wait three months, but I was getting there, okay? Ugh, and as if that wasn’t enough to deal with, what was going on with Hakamada-kun at the festival...?

Thanks to Tamao’s supernatural powers, Seimei and the gang find themselves transported over a hundred years back in time! There, Hatanaka is faced with the vast gap between his and his future wife Ibara’s lifespans, prompting him to declare that he’s giving up on her for good. Can this rift be repaired before everyone returns to their proper time...?

Love is only smooth sailing when you know how to words… and use smartphones. Communication can be a beautiful thing—when the other person actually understands your intended meaning. Unfortunately for Nozaki and the gang, that never happens. Not when some of Nozaki’s classmates invite Sakura over to his house “for the first time.” Not when Nozaki and Ryousuke chat at a café, and certainly not when Mikoshiba tries to learn judo from Mayu. As for Hori, Kashima, Seo, and Wakamatsu………

All Kuroe Akaishi wants is to live a low-profile life without inconveniencing the residents of Tokyo…That’s why she’s been maintaining a loner life, after all. But with class heartthrob Arata Minami in the mix, her uncontrollable emotions threaten to wreak havoc on the city once more! What’s a lovestruck monster gotta do for a normal love life?!

Occupying a mansion cloaked in secrecy, nobles and living dolls reside alongside each other. One such pair, Kate and Emilico, was deemed “of age” recently.

Their survival at Shadows House hangs in the balance...

They’re so goofy, they’re cool. Enter: a group of cool guys who seem like they’ve got that unapproachable swag. But look closer and you’ll find a bunch of dorks who’ve gotten the act down pat. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy watching these clumsy dudes try to look cool all day, every day.

Secret after secret among Nozaki and friends is revealed, plunging the groupeven further into chaos! Who exactly owns the rather unique books in Nozaki’s closet? What does Sakiko Yumeno do in her (his) free time? Will Wakamatsu ever actually figure out who Lorelai really is...?!

When a new teacher comes to Hyakki Academy and shows him up in every way possible, Haruaki’s only recourse is a one-way trip under his desk to hide from the cruel world! But there’s more to this perfect professor than meets the eye, and while most of the students are impressed, Sano seems to see right through him…

Expecting some summertime fun with friends, Haruaki heads to Rintarou’s house, where his hopes are soon dashed. He learns about the darkness Rintarou’s been living with for years, and before long, he is forced to confront it himself... In the midst of such danger, does Haruaki have what it takes to prevail, or will he need a few more sailor uniforms to pull through?

Love is just around the corner for Nozaki and the gang—or so it seems… The appearance of a young maiden from a private school stuns the Nozaki squad with some rather perplexing beliefs about…love? While the new girl is befriending Nozaki, Chiyo is playing the field with other attractive men—who aren’t Nozaki! Meanwhile, the elder Seo tries again to win a date with his longtime crush, Yukari—’tis the season, after all.
