Taimanin Kurenai

The protagonist Nimura Kyouji, runs a hot spring inn at a hill station and lives a quiet life away from the city. But, Kyouji also has another motive. He secretly preys on the guests who stay at his inn and uploads their videos on the internet for a large amount of money.

Today, an innocent family from Tokyo arrives at his inn.

"Good afternoon, we made a reservation at this inn, the name is Hidaka――......"

This time, the Hidaka family, who owns a fashion company in Tokyo, will be staying at his inn. When there are a woman with big breasts and her high school girl daughters, there is literally no way that he would ignore this opportunity. Even with the husband and the daughter's childhood friend in his way, he knows that he will figure something out later.

Thus, Kyouji immediately carries out his plan to ruin the mother and daughters of the Hidaka family.

Days Chasing Glory

In this world, the sun shines brightest on the privileged, leaving the rest to shiver in the shadows. Capitalism has stacked the deck, ensuring that the elites monopolize wealth, education, and the luxury of living without fear. Yet, amid this rigged game, one boy dares to defy the odds.

Fuwano Nagi knows this reality all too well. Born in the slums, he's destined for a life of hardship. But then, a rare opportunity lands in his hands:

[One's Gift]

An invitation to Ougen Academy—a school that guarantees a place in the winner’s circle. Each year, one lucky student receives this offer, no matter their background. For a slum kid like Nagi, it’s his ticket out—a shot to rewrite his fate.

But there’s a catch. This school is like a predator's den, and the students are circling, ready to tear him apart.

At the top of the food chain? The student council, the elite of the elite:

-Isshiki Kaname: The charismatic student council president. She's the heir to a powerful family that secretly pulls the strings in Japan.
-Tateshina Eve: Aikido master and smooth operator. Cunning and resourceful, rumor has it she's a secret agent for the National Police Agency.
-Yato Kukuru: Tech prodigy with a bottomless bank account. She's got brains, ambition, and the funds to make it big.

With Touri, his surrogate sister from the slums, by his side, Nagi dives headfirst into this pit of vipers. Can he claw his way to the top and claim his own glory? Or will the privileged elite crush him before he even begins?

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!

When campus nobody Seiji is attacked by unhinged space demons, it’s his classroom crush Yuuri who shows up to save the day! Her magical-girl powers easily vanquish the enemy, but a surprise ambush forces her to dive in harm’s way to shield him—leaving both fatally wounded. Luckily, Miss Fujiko arrives on the scene with an enchanted thread to bind both their life forces, saving them from certain death.

Over the next three months as Seiji and Yuuri slowly recover, the pair are on doctor’s orders to stay within one meter of each other or risk snapping their “red string of fate.” This means shacking up together and pretending to be a couple to avoid their classmates’ suspicions, but despite the clueless Yuuri claiming to be a “one-woman fortress with zero openings,” her natural powers of seduction quickly result in awkward situations that test poor Seiji’s sanity and self-control...

With his dream girl only centimeters away at every waking moment, will Seiji finally summon the courage to shoot his shot?

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...
