“What a fine night it is to cut the past loose.” Cid’s enjoyed his little visit to his old stomping grounds in post-apocalyptic Japan, but he beat the big monster already, and all the secret conspiracies around here seem to be falling apart, so it’s probably about time he returned to the awesome fantasy world he came from. Just one hitch, though—in the end, just what was his former classmate Akane’s deal?

Cid and Beta have arrived at one of the last places the aspiring shadowbroker wanted to go—his home world, Earth! (Or at least what’s left of it.) After running into his former classmate Akane, Cid tries to figure out how the heck he’s gonna get back to his cool isekai fantasy life, but little does he know that his dinky old planet’s got some brand-new thrills…!

THE RED MOON HANGS LOW IN THE NIGHT--AN OMEN OF WHAT’S TO COME Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, a Progenitor Vampire, slumbering in her coffin for many moons. An expert at landing himself in trouble, Cid should know better than to go after her…but he’s dying to get a piece of the action. It’s time he shed his daytime persona to take on the role of Shadow! It seems, however, that he’s not the only one with this idea. Soon enough, he finds the three rulers of the Lawless City-Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the vampire-are all on his tail. To complicate things even further, the Shadow Garden descends on the scene as the hour of the Blood Queen’s awakening looms closer and closer…

To learn the truth about the Nostalgia Project, Lamplight sets their sights on the Lylat Kingdom, the country where it all began. Separated from the others and living a lonely double life, Erna and Annette diligently lay the groundwork for a revolution. Unfortunately, they’ve embarked on a mission so difficult, even the Inferno twins once failed to get it done. Lylat is known as “the land where revolutions die,” and that title is thanks to a world-class counterintelligence agent. The girls’ resolve and values are put to the test. It’s far too late to back down now!

Immediately following the end of the Great War, a beast known as the Dust King appears in the slums. As Guido searches for the monster’s identity, he meets a young child orphan named Klaus. Learn all about the past and present of the boy who will become the world’s strongest spy!

Upon arriving at the Oriana Kingdom, Cid is broadsided by the news that Princess Rose is set to wed Duke Perv—an unexpected development that would throw a major wrench in his future shadowbroker plans! Seems like it’d be a good idea to crash the party and get the deets, but are there even bigger schemes at work behind this unholy matrimony?

Lamplight has finally found the mole in the CIM, but the price they paid is far too steep. The team is in shambles, and the entirety of the blame has been placed on Monika, whose whereabouts remain unknown. As despair looms, the weakest member of Lamplight makes her stand and begins the counterattack.

Avian, the elite spy team made up of the top academy students, has run into trouble in the Fend Commonwealth, and their boss, “Flock” Vindo, realizes they might not make it out alive. As his companions fall one by one to the unexpected attack, what comes to his mind are his memories of the month spent with Lamplight. After the mission in Longchon, Avian suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of Klaus, and in the pursuit of revenge accidentally become stalkers!? Of course, Lamplight can’t just stand by and watch, and the two teams soon descend into chaos. Sometimes fighting, sometimes challenging each other, these young spies live out their youth in a way only they can; this is the story of their unforgettable honeymoon.

The only path to survival is deceit. The “War of Light” is over, giving rise to the modern-day information war waged by spies, or the “War of Shadows.” Evil is always lurking just around the corner.

Klaus sets out to track down the four missing members of Lamplight. Meanwhile, Thea and Monika come to blows over the fate of Annette’s mother...!
