Who doesn’t know the infamous Suicide Squad? Convicted super-criminals recruited by Amanda Waller, the tough-as-nails head of A.R.G.U.S., an American government organization that fights injustice and serious crime. This powerful squad, consisting of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark, not only has a mischievous streak running down their necks but also a nano-bomb to remind them that escape is not an option. This troupe is now sent to a world of magic, swords, and dragons to have a good old-fashioned bash in this Isekai realm, which is connected to the real world by a gate. Last, but not least, the Joker also celebrates his rebirth – uh – his appearance in this crude mixture.

Since Takuma Kosugi has been living alone, it has become more than annoying for him to take care of the tedious housework after work, so he bought a second-hand domestic robot to help him out.

The next morning, he is embarrassed by his outburst, though Mina seems to have taken his request seriously and starts to behave like a wife towards him. But can there be a deeper connection between a supposedly unfeeling robot and a human being?

“Going on an adventure trip in your thirties? Why not?” That’s exactly what Rick Gladiator, a man who until now had only ever been known as an employee of the Adventurers’ Guild, thought. Though, now he wants to hang up this monotonous job and go into battle against monsters himself to collect rewards. The fact that he has been wandering the world for more than three decades and that his body is no longer as agile as that of a teenager is made up for with experience: because during his time as a guild employee, he made the acquaintance of the elite adventurer party Orichalcum Fist, among others, who taught him how to fight now and then and through whose help he acquired skills that will help him on his journey. Will Rick still manage to become a professional adventurer? Or will he ultimately return to the guild counter after all? The exciting story of a man in his thirties begins!

“I don’t think it would be entertaining to have me as a friend.” This and similar comments are probably why the Russian-Japanese student Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is referred to as a “lonely princess” and has hardly any friends. The fact that she’s also top of her class and treasurer of the student council doesn’t help. Nevertheless, there is one person towards whom Alisa feels a certain emotion: pity. This person is her classmate and neighbour, Masachika Kuze, who gives her anything but inner peace. He forgets his books and falls asleep in the middle of class! From the outside, it might seem that Masachika is Alisa’s natural nemesis and that they can’t stand each other, but behind the scenes, it’s a different story, as she enjoys helping her classmate. And because she enjoys spending time with him, she even lets him call her by her nickname, Alya. Despite all the time they spend together, there is one thing Alisa doesn’t know: Masachika understands Russian perfectly. The very language in which she repeatedly gives words to her feelings. The very language in which she consistently makes comments about her classmates. The very language in which she also permanently reveals embarrassing facts to the person sitting next to her! How will the relationship between the silver-haired girl and the boy who lets her wallow in ignorance develop …?

Saki Ayase is considered an absolute beauty in her class, which puts him in an impossible situation. However, she takes an extremely pragmatic view of the problem of living together and makes Yuuta a suggestion: as long as they don’t have any expectations of each other and endeavour, to be honest with each other at all times, peace can reign between them. Yuuta gratefully accepts the idea, and soon, a special relationship develops between them that neither of them would have expected.

High school student Okumura, president of his school’s manga club, decided a long time ago to devote his full attention to two-dimensional women because the three-dimensional variety has so far only disappointed him.

Five great humanoid races once lived in a magical world.
