The land of Aleisterre is a world of might and magic, sword and sorcery, where wandering knights and mysterious gods shape the fate of kingdoms. Wang Yu, a resourceful and unorthodox protagonist, finds himself inexplicably pulled into Aleisterre, a place steeped in ancient powers and political intrigue. With little understanding of the magic and faith that underpin this realm, Wang Yu is thrust into conflicts he never sought out—yet must navigate carefully if he’s to survive. --- Dragons' wings cut through the sky. Knights charge forward, magic tearing apart everything before them. Wizardry distorts the fabric of reality itself. The steam revolution stirs in one kingdom; the endless seas echo with ancient, distorted calls. Gods rule from high above, and the dark abyss leads deep underground. Wang Yu, from Earth, arrives in this unfamiliar world of fantasy. Straightforward and practical to the extreme, Wang Yu hates politics, despises intrigue, and prefers to approach everything head-on. In his own way, he leaves his mark in this mad, chaotic world. "I don’t care to listen to or understand my enemy’s story." "I'm the tank, and you're the carry. Together, we'll be invincible." "A man’s got to have a sense of himself, more than anything else." Armed with an iron hammer and unbreakable will, he smashes through every obstacle in his path. Original Novel Official English

In the 1930s, a new student enters the Shichisei Dorm at Taiwan's most prestigious high school which flies the banner of freedom and independence. Yeh Hsing-Chiao successfully passes through the "narrowest of narrow gates" to get admitted into Taihoku High School. He muddles his way through life and moves to Taipei to fulfill his family's expectations of him to become a doctor. His roommate Nanjou Yuntarou is widely known at the school to be a problem figure for his unruliness and love of reading, but he is in danger of being kicked out of school because he has skipped too many classes. These two young men with completely different personalities become good friends. In this cradle of freedom and intellectualism, they share the same feeling of youthful confusion and longing. One day, Nanjō Yuntarō suddenly says to Yeh Hsing-Chiao with great excitement, "The style of the Syohfu Magazine is so rigid, let's create our magazine!" Comic artist Zuo Hsuan did a lot of research to vividly depict student life inside and outside the gates of Taiwan's most prestigious high school during the Japanese colonial period. This comic not only presents the unrestrained spirit of high school students, but also provides a detailed illustration of the history, architecture, and clothing of Taihoku High School. Through the adventure of these two young students, this work also reconstructs a charming and beautiful story about high school in the 1930s.

I, Kurumi Nabana, and my classmate Seira Sorahashi aren't friends. In fact, we hardly ever talk in the classroom. I am a plain, ordinary girl, and she is widely considered to be the cutest girl in school, so our social circles do not intersect. Until one day, when Seira summoned me with a note to meet after school. *"Kurumi,”* she said, *”Would you like to be my master?"* My daily life is dramatically changed because of this ridiculous “request." I tried to think of excuses, but I wouldn't want anyone else to hurt Sorahashi-san. So I said, *“I'll do it....... I'll put it on."* From today, I will be her master. Put a collar on her, train her, and take her for a walk behind closed doors. What in the world are we doing? (Source: Kadokawa, translated)

「Ah, how honest and adorable. My dear Hime, even if you get thrown into the sea I definitely won’t let go…」 Why not take a peek into the bittersweet daily life of a pair of sisters?
Meeting and parting with women who carry a dark past. Friendships with irreplaceable friends. An autobiographical manga series set in Tokyo in the 1950s.
The one who fulfills my desires is the younger sister of the person I love―. A love triangle between the perfect older sister and her care-free younger sister. I, Yuka Amamiya, confessed my feelings to my first love, Nagisa Hanabusa... but I was rejected. Unable to let go of my lingering feelings, Nagisa's younger sister and my friend, Mino-chan, made a surprising offer. "I'll help you forget all about my sister." She offered to let me do everything I had wanted to do with Nagisa — but do it to her instead. I saw the shadow of the person I loved in her younger sister, and I started going on dates with Mino-chan, dressed as Nagisa, and... "Yuka-senpai, you're about to kiss a dear friend who's like a little sister, right?" I indulged in my desires, almost drowning in them. As I spent more time with Mino-chan, who was supposed to be a substitute for Nagisa, I found myself gradually falling for her― (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
