Summary: Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that's exactly where Sakuta runs into one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, an upperclassman and well- known actress currently taking a break from industry work. Wanting to find out more about the mystery surrounding Mai (and maybe get a little closer to her in the process), Sakuta launches an investigation to figure out what's making this bunny girl invisible to everyone around them.

Authors: Kisetsu Morita (story), Hiroki Ozaki (art)

Summary: When a vampire kingdom suddenly appears within the borders of Japan, a beautiful boy-meets- vampire romantic comedy blooms from the mind of the creator of I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level! One fateful day, Ryouta wanders into a town that's been declared sovereign territory by the rulers of the night, and before he can blink, an adorable vampire pounces him.

Title: The Eminence in Shadow (Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) volume 1
Authors: Daisuke Aizawa (story), Tōzai (art)

Summary: Shadowbrokers are those who go unnoticed, posing as unremarkable people, when in truth, they control everything from behind the scenes. Sid wants to be someone just like that more than anything, and something as insignificant as boring reality isn't going to get in his way! He trains in secret every single night, preparing for his eventual rise to power—only to denied his destiny by a run-of-the-mill (yet deadly) traffic accident. But when he wakes up in a another world and suddenly finds himself at the head of an actual secret organization doing battle with evil in the shadows, he'll finally get a chance to act out all of his delusional fantasies! Coming to stores everywhere digitally and in hardcover November 2019.
