Belinda Kelly didn't have the most fun in high school. A little overweight and a lot bookish, Belinda was more interested in getting ready for law school than hitting the gym. Still, one boy saw through her glasses and peered into the sweet soul of the girl behind them. He always tried to help her out. Taking her to a dance turned disastrous, though, when his friends played a horrible prank on her. Ten years later, now going by Rachel, Belinda has transformed herself into a star lawyer who can turn anyone's head. Her goal: destroy her high school date and the two friends who pranked her by teasing them with what they could have had but never will. Problem is, time changes people, and she may have picked the wrong target: the first man she chooses is the kind brother of her former tormentor! (Source: Renta!)

The Universal Century, with its history of colonization and wars, passes into posterity, and time flows on. Mankind enters a new age of seemingly endless peace and prosperity called the "Regild Century." The year is R.C. 1014. The Capital Tower, an orbital elevator, connects earth and space. Due to its role in supplying Earth's power by transferring Photon Batteries from space, it is worshiped with a religious fervor. Bellri Zenam, a cadet in the Capital Guard formed to protect Capital Tower, is participating in his first non-simulated exercise when he is attacked by the powerful but unaffiliated "G-Self" mobile suit. He manages to capture the G-Self while piloting a "Recten" maintenance mobile suit. However, seeing the G-Self's pilot, a young space pirate named Aida Rayhunton, stirs something within him, as does the G-Self which he was sure he'd never seen before. Why does the G-Self accept Bellri as a pilot? Aida's mission to attack Capital Tower. Bellri's destiny as a chosen pilot of the G-Self. The truth which will shake the Regild Century. It was all the beginning of the Reconguista. (Source: Gundam.info)

We are criticized just because we're women and hurt each other just because we're women. This is the story of women bound by the pressure of womanhood in love, work, and childbirth, who continue to live on, ragged and ungraceful. Miki Aoki is 31, single, and sick of life, but her slowly building savings balance keeps her going. She's surrounded by people like her old-fashioned boss who tosses off things like "This is why I hate women" (shut your face) and her fossil of a mother who puts pressure on her, saying things like "So when are you going to get married and have children?" (please stop talking). And then there's a younger staff member at work with whom she only has superficial relationships (just do your jobs). She could really care less about the lot of it. This is the bitter and sad story of women who live like that, an anthem to cheer on all women.

In the manga industry, there is a legend: If you leave a message on a bulletin board at a Shibuya train station, you can obtain the services of a certain man: Comic Master J, an assistant mangaka who can instantly complete any publication manuscript in any art style for the price of 5 million yen. However, he refuses to work on manga without a "soul." But what is J's true identity? Why does he wear an overcoat lined with pens and rulers? And for what reason does a man of such artistic talent choose to live in the shadows of the industry, rather than working on a manga of his own creation?
