Dead Days

Asougi City, on the Seto Inland Sea, is dominated by the corporation whose name it now shares.
The Asougi Group ordains every aspect of the citizens' lives, but as those everyday lives are peaceful, few people object or question it at all.

Only one thing disturbs the city's harmonic order: the activities of the "Anti-Aso" hunting clans, who snatch people off the streets by force and then hustle their bodies on those same streets to customers.

The Anti-Aso struggle, the suits plot their removal, and all the while the impending Founder's Birthday Ceremony accelerates tensions everywhere.
And the balance in the city begins to shift, grinding people to dust in its motion...

Wayne is a mild-mannered zookeeper who's just moved into a new neighborhood. His life takes a turn for the strange when he meets his eccentric new neighbor, Zoy. She's mean, mysteriously alluring, and will threaten Wayne with death several times.

Entangled by a whirlwind romance, Wayne finds himself thrust into a web of paranormal plots and perils. The corpse of a dead girl, humanoid fish demons, Zoy's increasingly erratic behavior- are they all connected? Wayne's own sanity is pushed to the brink as he finds himself forced to press forward and unravel the countless mysteries endangering his life.

Kyoichi Akikawa lost his family in a devastating plane crash when he was just a child.

"Will it really come someday?"
"Will the day ever come when I can truly move on from this pain?"

Kyoichi's stepsister Shizuku Akikawa has supported him all this time, while Yukitsuki Asaka bears a striking resemblance to Kyoichi's beloved older sister from before the tragedy.

As the paths of these three fated individuals converge, a mechanical god appears...

This is a story that heads towards the future.

I became the mayor after my father passed away. As the unlikable ‘Magic Trash,’ I used high-level props and awakened the magic circle! Unexpectedly, a frightened girl in her tattered clothes—Liz had appeared... No way, no! Did my guardian beast just get blocked by a girl like that?

As a demon under my control, Liz always looked arrogant as she kept competing against me. There must be one who wins and one who loses, even if it is by doing naughty things. But sometimes... she would also smile gently and speak of her loneliness, just like... the harshness was her defense so that no one could enter her heart.

As the thorns enveloping her sprouted new shoots, the city became more and more prosperous, but strange things also emerged bit by bit. The [Withering Flower] curse was gnawing her soul and somehow also affected me!

Average joe Seiji encounters another magical-girl wonderkid—this time in the form of the mysterious Maja Krienke at his neighborhood park! Intrigued by her aloof charm and possible hidden motive, he tries to say something, when a Majin appears out of nowhere to reveal Maja’s true identity—a ruthless warrioress in cahoots with evil in exchange for the darker arts...

Stunned, Seiji agrees to serve as Maja’s familiar—or “satellite”—to aid them in taking down another, rival Majin’s demon hordes. He also stands to gain an impressive array of powers, but as a trade-off, he is now tightly bound to Maja by a magical tether, connecting him to her around the clock! As fate would have it, this rope is essential for Seiji to receive a steady supply of magical force—or risk his new satellite body collapsing in the mortal realm.

Forced into cohabitation with the lovely Maja effective immediately, he soon learns of her “unique” blindspots—for better or worse, her guard stays perpetually down around our loyal but increasingly frustrated hero, resulting in plenty of questionable close calls and near-accidents... Will an unlikely summer shack-up stir up something else between them, or will Seiji forever remain her indentured servant?
