In this world, there exist divine beings beyond mortal comprehension. They scoff at the binary of good and evil.  Some cast their own flesh down to the earth, others encroach upon the sanctity of dreams, and yet others warp the very fabric of reality. These beings threaten peace across Japan, and humans are completely at their mercy. Agent Katakishi and his junior partner Miyagi belong to a secret government organization tasked with investigating these incidents. But even as they work to oppose these deities and the dangerous humans who worship them, Katakishi has a personal mission to pursue: He wants to track down the whereabouts of his missing wife, even if it forces him to confront a terrible truth…

During his search, he detects an eerie dryness and the distinct smell of a person burned completely to ash, bones and all. Eventually, Mitsuhiro stumbles across a mysterious ritual space with a huge hole not on any blueprints—and inside it, a man in chains.

Corpse Knight Gunther, Vol. 1

By MAYO-NUGURI

Unsurprisingly, humanity stood no chance in their war against the vampires. As the vampires hunt down the last fragments of mankind to extinction, refugees in the Holy Land "Bahal" turn to one last Hail Mary.  Using their limited resources and technology, they are able to revive a legendary hero in hopes of doing what no warrior was able to do: defeat the vampires. However, their revived corpse, a gladiator named Gunther, is the furthest thing from heroic. He's disgusting, selfish, and cruel—but also humankind's final hope.

 Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they're people from different "castes," you wouldn't expect them to have much in common.

However, things aren't always so family friendly behind the scenes! When the villains get too gruesome for Saturday morning cartoons, these youthful protectors are, in turn, protected by…grizzled middle-aged men? They may be a bunch of old farts, but these geezers have one job: to use their wealth of experience (and some kick-ass magic) to support the mystical maidens from the shadows!

D.N.Angel New Edition, Vol. 1

By Yukiru Sugisaki

That is, until she encounters the city girl Furuka on a cliff—and ends up resuscitating her after they fall into the ocean! Upon waking, the two mysteriously find themselves in front of a cave said to house monsters, a place Kon often spends time by. And with that, strange occurrences begin to happen on the island…
