Say, did you think that humans were the one standing at the top of the food chain? That's a great misunderstanding. The ones who are located at the top of hierarchy of this world are "Them" who live inside the darkness. By no means do they come to the surface world, the one we humans live. What we understand about "Them" is only that they absolutely hate having their existence to become known to human society. While there are some of "Them" with a form resembling that of a human being, there are others that look like a completely different kind of living creature. It is rare, but sometimes trouble between humans and "Them" can happen. Humans who discover the secret of "Their" existence, a stray "Them" preying on humans, and many other problems that I can not talk about to anyone. In those cases, in order to resolve those incidents involving "them", an utility man is employed. That man's name is "Pluto O"... that's me. What I told to you only was what I know. If you ever get in troubles, call my name three times. Say "Pluto O! Pluto O! Pluto O!", and if you're lucky I'll show up to help. All the volumes of this series were released under the name of Echizen Matarou (越前魔太郎); the true identities of the writers were later revealed on Kodansha's page, but not which author wrote which book. The project was a collaboration between Kodansha and Kadokawa, and the books were published by 3 different labels. (Source: Kodansha Book Club)

The Temple of El Alamein is a compilation of World War II short stories from the perspective of the German military personnel. As the saying goes, the winner writes history, and these stories are the untold, unwritten part of the history of WWII. Taking place between 1940 and 1945, when the war was at its most violent peak, each story takes place in a different part of the world where Germans were fighting. One story takes place in Egypt where soldiers find an ancient ruin that prove the existence of dinosaurs that helped build the Great Pyramids. Another story tells how one German fighter jet was able to take down a B-47 Stratojet 40,000 ft. in the air, far above what a fighter jet could achieve at the time. 1. **Umi no Shishi** (Seelöwe; 海の獅子) 2. **El Alamein no Shinden** (Temple of El Alamein; エル・アラメインの神殿) 3. **Arawashi no Yousai** (Where Eagles Dare; 荒鷲と要塞) 4. **Ardennes no Mori** (Ardennes Forest; アルデンヌの森) 5. **Kokujoku Manga** (National Shame Manga; 国辱漫画) 6. **Kokubujoku Manga 2: G.H.Q.** (National Shame Manga 2: G.H.Q.; 国辱漫画２ Ｇ.Ｈ.Ｑ.)

In the future, in a rush much like the American gold rush, many people emigrated to our solar system's asteroid belt to mine the asteroids. A society developed out in the belt, and the citizens, who were generally looked down upon by Earth citizens, came to be known as "Belters". Eventually, this community sought independence from the earth, ushering in a war. The Belters could not stand against the Earth military, and they were defeated, falling back under the harsh control of the earth. Twenty years later, an old man called Bou discovered a still-living baby in a tank within the wreckage of a ship from the war. He named the boy Cross, after the Belter's greatest hero, and raised him with the hope that he would grow to become a messiah for his people. At the age of ten, Cross is captured by Earth soldiers and forced to leave his guardian's care. What connection does this young boy have to the legendary hero Cross? Will he be able to pass through the trials that lie before him, and fulfill the expectations he does not even know that his people have of him?
