Set in the early 20th century, Kokoro opens with a chance encounter on a beach near Tokyo that irrevocably links a young student to a man he simply calls Sensei (Teacher).

Zaji, a young stranger who is characterized by carrying a scar below his left eye and a cold stare, escapes from the organization "Home" to find someone.

Sleeping Beauty has nothing to do with the old fairytale. Instead, it focuses on Kanna, a first year high school student. One day she recieves a package in the mail from her grandfather who she hardly remembers. When she opens it, to her surprise, there's a boy inside! His name is Motoi and he says not only will he portect her forever, but he's madly in love with her. Turns out, Motoi is an android built by her grandfather to replace her friend who moved away years ago. Motoi comes complete with a detacheable head, rocket punches and a tendency to be very very clingy. Not to say Kanna needed to be protected in the first place, she's allways punching someone's face in. (Source: MangaTemple)

What is it that you desire? Money? Love? Walk again? Be stronger? Whatever it is you wish for, you can get by asking the legendary and awe-inspiring "Demon's Plan"; a sacred object capable of granting anything to "the chosen ones." **Included one-shots:** Volume 1: Nigashi-ya Volume 2: Brain Breaker
A girl (Kiyora Morinouchi) on the way to school literally runs into a scary-looking man with a scar and sunglasses (Junichiro Yaguchi) who drops a butcher knife when she knocks him down. She immediately thinks he's a member of the local yakuza. After quickly collecting her things, Kiyora heads to school only to find out the scary man she ran into is not only her homeroom teacher, but her home economics/cooking teacher as well (hence the butcher knife). She's not a very good cook, so her Yaguchi-sensei assigns her to make a bento (box lunch) for him every day until she gets it right.
