Azure Flame Reloaded

Akiko is asleep at her home when she hears a voice calling her. Akiko: I can hear a random voice calling to me- I’d better go outside and see who it is. A woman, Keiko, is waiting outside. Keiko: Akiko, come over to me, since this is clearly not a trap. As Akiko hesitates, black [...]

Twelve year old Misaki Suzuhara has just moved to Tokyo, and given her small stature, she can’t help feeling a little dwarfed by the big city. Small wonder, then, that Misaki immediately finds herself drawn to Angelic Layer- a sport where players battle each other using telepathically controlled dolls known as angels, and where skill [...]

In Flashback Mode, we see a young Masahiro at a time when Seimei tied him to a tree and abandoned him. Masahiro: Grandpa, come back- I don’t like this type of special game… Masahiro wakes up. Masahiro: Mokkun, I just had a flashback dream about the time Grandpa abandoned me at Kifune Shrine. It all [...]

Jun Sakurada is a hikikomori who idles away his days ordering expensive mail order items- only to return them just before payment is due.

Chapters 1-32 Tatsuhiro Satou is a hikikomori- four years ago, he dropped out of college, and for the past year he hasn’t even talked to another person! It might seem as if there is no hope left for Satou, but one person thinks otherwise; high-school student Misaki Nakahara has selected Satou to participate in her [...]

Entry Eight It is a commonly held belief that it is the man who must work to put together his harem, but of late it has occurred to me that it does not have to be that way. After all, whilst I am practically the embodiment of perfection, the girls are inferior beings who only [...]

Kazuki is very much in demand these days; not only does alchemic warrior Captain Bravo want to recruit him as a new ‘member’ of a heroic Justice Team, but his old adversary Papillon is back and looking for HARD GAY with a worthy adversary. Does poor Kazuki have the strength and stamina to deal with [...]
