The story centers around Mizuki Hijiri, a high school girl who just transferred schools. At her new school, she has a fateful encounter with boys suffering from chūnibyō (adolescent delusions of grandeur). There is Noda who dreams of becoming a hero, the tragically handsome otaku Takashima who only likes 2D girls, Nakamura the supposedly "reincarnated" angel or devil, and the self-professed string-puller Tsukumo.

When I came to my senses, I was reborn in the world of eroge. I am not Osamu Sasaki......, the main character of the eroge "Boku wa Subete wo Ubawareta" (I was robbed of everything). I was reincarnated as his best friend, Towa Yukishiro, who cuckolds Ayana Otonashi, a childhood friend and heroine who is devoted to Osamu. Fortunately, I have a year to spare before the game story begins. I have no taste for cuckoldry myself, and if I didn't take her away from him, they would be happily married....... *"It's just the two of us...... isn't it?"* As soon as Osamu was gone, Ayana, who had kept her body in close contact with him, climbed onto my lap―― Could it be that the two of us were already in a relationship before the game even started!? Is this NTR (cuckoldry)? BSS (I liked her first)? Neither, this is a rich pure love story! (Source: Sneaker Bunko, translated)
A short serialization exclusively in digital Weekly Shonen Jump issues before the series was properly serialized in the magazine a year later.
A sweet, sentimental tale of young love told in a charming visual style. This story originally appeared in volume 53 of the Japanese alternative comics anthology AX.
Yu Mashiro, a former delinquent who was feared as the "White Tiger of the West," pursued her dream of working in print design, and landed a respectable job at a small printing company in the suburbs of Tokyo. Of course, she tries to hide her notorious past... She is thrilled to have a job that allows her to work on the manga she loves, but she is also subjected to the usual hassles of life at a printing company and teasing from her seniors, who have their own quirks, which is making her delinquent temperament on the verge of exploding in full force. This is the start of a work comedy in which Mashiro, who is single-minded in everything she does, struggles through the rough and tumble life of a printing company! (Source: Comic Days, translated)
‘Iwai! Dekichatta kekkon’, which roughly translates into 'Let's celebrate! Shotgun marriage', is a semi-educational manga drawn by Unita Yumi (Usagi Drop etc.). The title basically gives the whole story away: Yuki (25, office worker) finds out that she is pregnant, breaks the news to her happy-go-lucky boyfriend, Raita (25, eternal part-timer), and the two start planning their future together. From then on, on the first level of story, we are following the everyday adventures (apartment hunting, planning the wedding, choosing a hospital) and hardships (mainly money problems) the young couple must overcome. On the second level, as the manga foretells us in the Preface, this romantic comedy has another ‘motive’ besides the entertainment of the reader: it wants to teach those who are in the same situation and those who might get into one in the future (so all of us, readers). Thus, the author frequently comments on the current events, gives thoroughly precise, almost medical-level explanations (at other times just within the boundary of common sense) of the terms mentioned in the conversations, and presents the reader with the results of a short survey on the topic at the end of each chapter. The latter attributes to the lack of drama (parents are pretty understanding); however, this manga is a good read: a heartwarming and lighthearted story.
