12-year-old Ritsuka Aoyagi is, to say the least, a troubled child. Due to a rare case of psychological disorder, he has no memories of his life before the age of ten, and apparently is now the polar opposite of who he was before he lost his memories. This causes his mentally unstable mother to constantly abuse him, demanding that he leave and return the 'real' Ritsuka to her. For the past two years, his older brother Seimei had been the center of his life, protecting him from his mother and accepting and loving him. However, recently, Seimei was found burned to death in the classroom of Ritsuka's elementary school. Ritsuka is still in the process of recovering from what happened when he meets a man named Soubi, claiming to be Seimei's 'friend'. He informs Ritsuka that their name is "Loveless", and that he will be his Sacrifice - while Soubi is his "Fighter". Soon, Ritsuka finds himself in the midst a bizarre world where teams of two; the 'fighter' and 'sacrifice', combat each other using verbal spells. While treading through disturbing secrets and finding new friends within them, Soubi and Ritsuka bond, and through each other, begin to heal from the scars of their pasts.
From Wikipedia: Set in the modern age, the story is about Miharu Rokujou, who just wanted to live a normal life and inherit an Okonomiyaki restaurant. At the moment, his biggest problem was the constant pestering from Kouichi Aizawa and Durandal Thobari Kumohira, who started a Nindō (忍道?, lit. "Way of the Ninja") Club. Miharu wanted nothing to do with "ninjas" and turns them down every time. But soon, he is attacked by an actual group of ninjas and is protected by Kouichi and Kumohira. There, Miharu learns of the hidden ninja world Nabari, the roles of his classmate and teacher in that world, and of the secret art Shinra Banshou (森羅万象 Shinrabanshō?, lit. "all things in nature") within him. The secret art, containing all the world's knowledge, is sorely coveted in Nabari. And because of that, Miharu cannot return to his normal life. He must become the "Ruler of Nabari" to survive. From Baka-Updates: Rokujou Miharu was a seemly reluctant junior high student living in his own world. However, within him, lurked the ultimate power of Nabari, “Omnipotent”. To possess such supreme weapon, the Wolf Pack of Iga swore to bring Miharu back to Iga village. On the other hand, Miharu’s English teacher, Kumohira sensei, and classmate, Kouichi, were the Banten ninjas whose mission was to protect Miharu. A war waged over the ownership of “Omnipotent” thus started. To survive, Miharu must enter the hidden world Nabari, to become the king.

Compilation of short stories: • Hotel It is the year 2272 A.D. A computer continues to live on in order to complete a mission in a world where all life, including Mankind, has gone extinct. This is a record of those 27 million years of its heroic struggle. • Present Hanako suffers from a terrible disease. After awakening from a deep slumber, Hanako has only three days to live. During those three days, her husband, Takao, must endure a heart-breaking experience, knowing that the person Hanako really loves isn't him. • Subete wa Maguro no Tame da (It Was All for the Tuna) Tuna have become extinct and Jun Shiozaki will do everything possible and imaginable to bring them back. • Stephanos Set in modern-day Japan, our main character Noriko finds out that she is pregnant with her lover Matsumura’s baby. He, however, is an important doctor with a family and everything already. Noriko wants to have the baby, but Matsumura says that it’s actually a rapidly growing cancer and that they have to remove it immediately. It might also be neither of these things… • Diadem A "Diadem" is a word for 'crown' that has its root in Greek. "Stephanos", which appeared in "Mandala" 01, was also a 'crown'. It seems that we could consider this the second work in a continuing series of shorts that should perhaps be called a "Crown series".
