Mysterious Girlfriend X
Mikoto
Urabe is...an odd one. As a fresh transfer student into Akira Tsubaki's
class, it's expected for her to be shy at first; what he gets instead
is an anti-social loafer that carries scissors in her underwear and
breaks out in insane fits of laughter! An innocent kiss throws Tsubaki
for a loop, when he discovers that he has become curiously enamored (or
addicted) to Urabe, and she knows JUST what to do with him. With a new
toy to play with, there's no telling what's in store for Tsubaki, as
"swapping spit" takes on a whole new meaning in Mysterious Girlfriend X!

Tsuritama
Yuki
is anything but social. Shy and completely inept when it comes to male
or female relationships, he suddenly finds himself on a fishing trip
with three other boys he barely knows. Each new friend has a strange
quirk, one that makes them stand out over the rest, but while they fish,
they're in another world. There are lots of different kinds of fish
stories, from the “ones that got away” to the “best catches ever,” but

how she died and trapped in the grey land between life and death, the
ghost girl Yuuko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can

members of the club begin to unravel the many dark mysteries that
surround Seikyou. In a tomb of silent classrooms, the answers await in Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.
