“In order to save a tragic heroine, a fake hero will do whatever it takes to keep her from a deadly end in this isekai tale!”
Liar was reincarnated as the fake hero of his favorite game, “Guilty Sin.” Despite getting the unfortunate role of a fake, Liar lives his days as an adventurer using his knowledge of the game to lead a fairly good life. But when he encounters a girl named Artan, who happens to be the game’s tragic heroine destined to never find happiness, his goals change. Now he’s determined to keep Artan safe and give her a proper, happy ending! But with everyone and everything against him, can this false hero change the very nature of the game? Or is there something else he has in mind?

Predator Witches (Light Novel – Digital)
“With humanity on the brink of extinction due to the deadly Incubi invasion, only powerful magical girls can save the day—so long as they survive!”

Only the Witches, magical girls bestowed with powers from supernatural beings, stand a chance against the creatures. High schooler Renka Azuma happens to be one of them, and fights back as Silver Lotus, a witch who can control swarms of insects able to devour the Incubi. Her days are lonely but her mission is clear: destroy every last Incubi out there.
Things take a turn when Silver Lotus comes across a novice witch named Azure Nova, saving her from a close call. She’s surprised to learn that Azure is a self-proclaimed fan of hers and wants to work together! Suddenly, her dark, solitary days begin to grow a little brighter.
But the Witches have a responsibility to protect humanity so can they really afford to make friends and live like regular teenagers?

“An adorably awkward office rom-com about a young woman finding her footing at work and the man who is devoted to seeing her succeed.”
At 24, Reina Izutsu has recently become the new president of Izutsu Printing after taking over for her late father. Young and not quite experienced, Reina wants to do her best but unfortunately comes across as harsh with her employees. Stressed and feeling lost, Reina spends an evening drowning her sorrows in beer at an empty park. She rants and vents out loud to the starry sky that she wants to give up and quit being president, just letting off steam. Except, she fails to realize that her subordinate, 37-year-old section chief Kenichi Ishizumi, heard her drunken ramblings! But rather than use this against her, Kenichi finds himself charmed by the young woman. He vows then and there to support her and help her find her way as company president, no matter what!

Something phenomenal is stirring—and a mismatched duo must uncover the truth hidden beneath the bizarre.
Fires that ignite without cause. A mummy wandering through a quiet neighborhood. Sunflowers blooming in the dead of winter. Each case defies reason, yet together they point to something far more dangerous.
Anan, a cat-eared demi-human detective, is used to mundane cases—until she’s suddenly partnered with Kanai, a federal agent with spiked hair, dark shades, and secrets of his own. Together, they’re drawn into a series of investigations that blur the line between the criminal and the supernatural!

As a young orphan, Raul was adopted and saved by the effeminate, eternally youthful vampire Rose. Since then, he’s wanted nothing more than to help and protect his vampiric savior. His conviction—and training—has helped him grow into a strong, muscular young man. However, no matter how much Raul grows, Rose can’t help seeing him as that little orphan boy…
