SYNOPSIS: Our society is infected with a disease, a gangrenous cancer in the form of those who commit the most monstrous of evils, yet whose power and influence place them beyond the reach of the law. When corrupt politicians fail to act and the police seem helpless, there is a third, secret option that stands ready to excise the malignancy in a tactical surgical strike: Black Label, a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and students who moonlight as an elite team of assassins. With the world's deadliest nurse, a master swordswoman MD, an idol with an affinity for explosives, and a pair of seemingly indestructible high school students, their mission is as simple as it is deadly: identify the drug runners, terrorists, and criminal masterminds who can't be destroyed any other way, and then eliminate them by whatever means necessary in TRIAGE X!

SYNOPSIS: Rihito might only be a freshman in high school, and he might have just moved back to Japan after living overseas, but despite those seeming social disadvantages, he's already living with four beautiful girls! Of course, that's because his girls are all Shinki, the tiny, six-inch high, customizable fighting androids that have become the latest craze. And don't let their size fool you. Just because Hina, Ann, Ines and Lene are small enough to keep in shoeboxes, that doesn't mean that they're not intelligent, packed with firepower, and eager to take on whatever task their "Master" assigns them. Unfortunately, they're also extremely competitive, and since each one wants to be Rihito's favorite, get ready for more than a few sparks and fireworks to fly around the house as Rihito's battery powered princesses take on all comers in BUSOU SHINKI!

Even with the possession of a White Whistle, an ominous specter hovers above Riko, Reg and Nanachi as they advance down to the sixth layer, the Capital of the Unreturned. The pathways are more treacherous, the environment harsher, and the creatures even more dangerous, but the most unsettling thing of all is the ruins of the Golden City. Here each of the delvers will be forced to forge their own destinies and paths as they investigate the city's mysterious origins and the strange beings who still dwell there. The answer to their questions, as always, lies somewhere ahead, down and forward, in MADE IN ABYSS: THE GOLDEN CITY OF THE SCORCHING SUN.
