About Girlfriend, Girlfriend
Girlfriend, Girlfriend: Naoya finally lands a girlfriend—the gorgeous Saki-chan. Their intense personalities clash like ice and fire, but their love is unstoppable. Determined never to cheat, Naoya finds himself shaken when the sweet and sincere Nagisa confesses her love and even makes him lunch. Torn yet moved, he does something outrageous—asks Saki for permission to date them both. What follows is a whirlwind of confidence, chaos, and lively romantic antics.
About Blade Girl
Blade Girl: One year after losing her leg, 16-year-old Rin is exhausted by constant physical therapy and frustrated by her heavy, awkward prosthetic. Everything changes when she meets the Blade Runners—one-legged athletes using carbon-fiber “blades” made by the brilliant prosthetist Kazami. Though the blades are powerful and hard to master, Rin rediscovers strength, hope, and a new goal: to compete in the Paralympics.
About Love, That’s an Understatement
Love, That’s an Understatement: Risa Amakawa is always prepared—spare eraser, umbrella, first-aid kit—yet she never asks for help. When she saves notorious delinquent Zen Ohira during a rainy night, she wants nothing in return. But Zen’s interference in her life draws unwanted attention from others…and slowly shifts her feelings on needing support, and toward Zen himself. A tender rom-com from the creator of Lovesick Ellie.
About Teppu
Teppu: Gifted athlete Natsuo Ishido is good at everything—too good. Her effortless victories create boredom and resentment from others. She craves a true challenge: a rival worth crushing. That challenge appears when two energetic transfers from Brazil start an MMA club, sparking her first taste of real competition—and reigniting her drive.
