"The Pretty Guardian in a Sailor Suit! Sailor Venus has arrived!"

Thirteen-year-old Minako Aino is an active tomboy who loves idols and video games, and is a popular member of Shiba Koen Junior High School's volleyball team. One day during her PE class, Minako accidentally stumbles upon a white cat, who later sidetracks her from talking to her crush. At home, Minako wonders if she is beautiful, and hearing this, the cat introduces himself as Artemis and gives her a compact mirror that shows Minako more than just her beauty.

Before she can fully take in the cat's words, Minako receives a special pen that can transform her into the masked champion of justice, Sailor V! As her carefree love-seeking days begin to include adventures against the energy-seeking Dark Agency, Minako will learn to embrace the full extent of her destiny.

Adachi, Mitsuru

The story is set in a place very similar in appearance to Earth in the Edo period. However, Adachi (the mangaka) regularly reminds the reader all throughout the series that the setting is another planet in the distant future which just happens to look like Earth.

After the death of his mother, Shichimi sets out to join his step-brothers and -sister who live together in Karakuri Tenement, a place provided by the father they have never met. He finds out that each of them had different mothers (all of whom have died), but were fathered by the same man. Not long after Shichimi's arrival, the siblings decide to journey to visit the graves of each of their mothers. On this journey, they encounter many dangers.

Mirage of Blaze is equal parts melodrama, historical romance, and supernatural fantasy. Japanese history predominates a heavily structured plot, which mainly involves the continued aggression between magic using guardians, or "possessors," and the denizens of a "feudal underworld," or the restless souls of long-dead samurai attempting to re-ignite ancient war on the modern plane.

Honoo no Mirage

炎の蜃気楼〈ミラージュ〉

Tezuka, Osamu

A remake of the original Ribbon no Kishi, and the much more well-known version of the story.

Taking place in a medieval fairy-tale setting, Princess Knight is the story of young Princess Sapphire who must pretend to be a male prince so she can inherit the throne (as women are not eligible to do so). This deception begins as soon as she is born, as her father the King announces his baby is a boy instead of a girl. The reason for this is that the next-in-line to the throne, Duke Duralumon, is an evil man who would repress the people if he were to become king, and because of this the King will go to any length to prevent him from taking over.

Once upon a time, there was a tribe that fought for the empire. They were feared by everyone. Their specialty was destruction and slaughter. They were called "kimera." Rin was one of them. She lived in a peaceful village until the war broke out. And at that moment, something within her began to awaken, and something beyond imagination began!

The third series in the "Animal X" timeline.

Having burned enough bridges in Japan, Yuuji and Minato have moved their new family to a small dinosaur-crazy town in Canada. If there's any place in the world left for Dinosauroids, surely it must be here: a town revived by the discovery of dinosaur bones, with one of the largest paleontology research centers in the world, and a network of "Conservation Centers" set up to cater to the newly-discovered Dinosauroid community. The rest of the world, None-the-wiser for the incident at the Biodome (which was covered up completely) has pretty much forgotten all about Dinosauroids.

Animal X: Genshi Sairai

Animal X―原始再来

The first series in the "Animal X" timeline.

27-year-old Ayukawa Yuuji has never been much of a man; he's more comfortable sewing than fighting, he faints at the sight of blood, and his fiancee is tougher than he is. He's also a terrible pushover. So when his boss at the medical lab volunteers him for some experimental drug therapy, how can he possibly refuse? All's mediocre for Yuuji: master of the pathetic.

Mediocre, that is, until a juvenile mass murder suspect jumps out from under Yuuji's bed, declaring him his "mate." Before Yuuji has time to argue, the stranger transforms into a 16 foot-tall dinosaur and beheads his roommate...

Yuuji suddenly finds himself the sole target of a lost race that turns into dinosaurs, an extremely scary woman with a Goddess-Complex, the yakuza, a mad scientist and one 17 year-old boy who really really really wants to sleep with him.

The Fors family is a prestigious lineage of swordsmen and a prominent noble house ruling the southern domain of the kingdom. Born as their third son, Nova endured a harsh childhood, branded a failure due to his utter inability to wield the exclusive power inherent to their bloodline. Even after reaching adulthood and being granted a small territory, he is burdened with virtually zero duties and zero expectations from his family and the people around him. However, an unexpected marriage proposal finds its way to Nova. The other party belongs to a great noble house that rules the northern domain—the Archgate family, which is currently at the height of its prosperity despite a long-standing feud with the Fors family. Furthermore, his prospective bride is, astonishingly, the head of the Archgate family herself, Chia... "I have been in love with you... ever since that time." Thus, the third son of the Fors family, a man who possesses nothing, finds himself welcoming a wife of excellent character and stunning beauty—or rather, a wife who is simply perfect in every regard. She is a woman destined to change Nova's fate, determined to give him everything. "People say all sorts of terrible things about the head of the Archgate family—that she is terrifying, cold-blooded, and ruthless. But Chia is cute, kind, smart, and absolutely perfect." This marks the beginning of the married life between the easygoing Nova, and Chia, who reveals her true self to no one but him. (Source: Kakuyomu, translated)
