A Steins;Gate Light Novel that takes place in the anime in the perspective of Makise Kurisu This light novel starts at Episode 1 of the anime, and ends at Episode 6, it also includes some spoilers from the source material of Steins;Gate, the visual novel.
-Here is the unusual story of Sakura, a 21 year old mother raising her toddler daughter alone. She is a widow, her husband having drowned at sea while rescuing others. Sakura is having trouble making ends meet and raising her daughter by herself. Fortunately for her, things get interesting when she meets a new arrival- Go. Go is the brother of Sakura's husband. Sakura had never met him before, and his appearance is startling. He is a big, muscular guy with shoulder-length wavy hair. Not at all the same type as her late husband. Go has recently returned to Japan from America, where he worked as a Pro Wrestler. Now that he is back in Japan, he plans on continuing his unusual career. Sakura's daughter Momoko has a strong liking for Go, and soon enough the three of them are living together in an unusual, yet functional family. This is a cute, fun story!
For heroine Ooba Kanoko, life is not much fun. Her family runs a small restaurant where she slaves and is horribly mistreated by her two sisters, parents, and grandparent. (Not to mention the fact that her name said aloud as "Oobaka no ko" = "stupid kid"!) Poor Kanoko cooks, cleans, and takes the blame when things go wrong. However, her life takes an unusual turn when her family suddenly loses what little money it had, and everything they own is about to be reposessed -- and along comes a ragged looking, tall stranger with an interesting proposition that will turn Kanoko into a billion dollar Cinderella! At a price to Kanoko...
An amusing romantic story about a college student girl and a man who is a famous fashion designer. Thanks to the antics of his very unique cat, the girl and the designer are thrown together, and sparks fly! Again, there is a large age difference between the hero and heroine. His name is Hanada Renichi, and he is 38 years old. Her name is Saigou Kaori, and she is only 18. Their age difference is an issue in there relationship. He is interested in her, but tries to resist because he thinks he is too old, and she is a virgin. But even though Kaori likes to tease him by caling him 'ojisan' ('gramps') she doesn't care about his age, and is perfectly willing to let him relieve her of the second objection he has about her. This is a very cute romantic comedy!
Several romance stories, this time featuring high-school aged heroines. STORY 01: DJ "COOL" Chiaki never expected to fall in love with the number one night club DJ! STORY 02: Pianist "Sou" Mizue is charmed by her enigmatic music professor. STORY 03: Guitarist "Demi" Hinano's boyfriend just dumped her because she's not his type! She's too cute, and he wants a sexy girl... but it would seem Hinano's mailman disagrees. By day, he hand delivers her mail, and by night he lets down his bleached blonde hair, and... (!!!) -- but guys like that aren't Hinano's type! STORY 04: Princess Hungry Aoi, age 17, has a problem -- an abnormal appetite! It's getting hard to keep it a secret from her classmates, but she can't let them know. She still remembers when she started dating her crush Kousaka... and then when he caught her pigging out after they'd parted one night, he never spoke to her again. But now Aoi is going on a trip with some classmates and their friends... and Kousaka is with them!? Is he mad at Aoi? Will he tell everyone her secret?? At the end there is an omake about getting a cat door. The original Hakusensha cover features the school girl who has a relationship with the music teacher, while the newer Kadokawa version uses a picture of the cutesy girl (looking very loli-goth) with her rock musician boyfriend.
The main story in this tankoubon takes up half of the book. The first time Misaki met Eiji NIRESAKI, she was 17 years old, and he was visiting her father as part of some sort of study group. I believe Misaki's father is a university professor or a scientist. There is some chemistry between Eiji and Misaki right away, and before you know it, Eiji announces his intention to marry her. They get married after she graduates from high school, but their romance does not last for long. Eiji begins acting strange, and after only a few months, he leaves Misaki. What is going on with Eiji? It looks like he is involved with some serious things that Misaki has no idea about, things that are keeping him away from her. Meanwhile, Misaki is alone and pregnant... The other two stories in this are about a married couple with a child, and a stylish office lady who has a relationship with a coworker. 1. **Bachiatari na Ikari Musume** (ばち当りな怒り娘) 2. **Eien no Labirynth** (永遠のラビリンス) 3. **Ashita mo Hareyoubi** (あしたも晴れ曜日) (from http://www.piffleprincess.com/sakai))
A collection of short, romantic stories. The first is about the unlikely romance between a rich, elegant young girl and a scruffy, rough, not-so-rich guy. The story that fills the largest portion of this volume is set in the roaring 20's, and is about the romance between a boxer and a flapper girl. The mob is involved. Lots of drama and excitement!
A very amusing story about a 23 year old OL named Rumiko. Her parents have been pressuring her into letting them set up an omiai, or a meeting for an arranged marriage for her. They have several possible candidates she could choose from. Rumiko is not interested. She has her sights set on a guy at her work. However, when her romantic dreams with her coworker do not turn out as she planned, she agrees to meet whoever her parents choose for the omiai. They introduce her to Kenya OOTSUKI. He is handsome and friendly, but their meeting doesn't go very well, and Rumiko refuses to marry him. Imagine her surprise at work when she is introduced to her new co-worker- Kenya! He has been hired at her company and is a successful employee. Rumiko and Kenya are thrown together more often, and a relationship starts to grow. But will a relationship based on an arranged meeting last? There is a random one-shot story about phone sex at the end of the volume. :D
Sayu is a 30 year-old high school teacher. She is short, round, cute, but somewhat timid. Her home life is a mess-- her husband is an ass, is cheating on her, and her in-laws are rude and condescending. Therefore, it seems almost like a miracle that she could have an affair. A passionate affair. With one of her students, the handsome and fierce Kou-kun, who is only 18...
On her 17th birthday, high school senior Shiina tries to sneak into an ultra-hip club with her friends. There they meet Makoto, the very hot owner of the club. When she tells him her name, he seems surprised. However, upon learning her age, he kicks her out. At school the next day, Shiina finds out that her geeky science teacher is actually Makoto in disguise!
