In Such a Small World
Natsuki Takaya, beloved author of the iconic Fruits Basket, presents a new mini-series that is sure to capture hearts: In Such a Small World.

To retrieve his incredibly adorable puppy, Tino, who has ventured onto Sui's balcony. And so, a tender romance blossoms in this charmingly intimate setting.

Non and Akari
Prepare for a unique blend of heartwarming and slightly eerie with Non and Akari by Neruko Nichinichi. Akari is understandably apprehensive about moving into an old, potentially haunted house. However, her concerns take an unexpected turn when she encounters Non-chan, a cursed doll. To Akari's surprise, Non-chan expresses a desire for them to be together forever, adding cryptic remarks about "haunting" and "eternal regret" that Akari conveniently dismisses as unimportant. Bewildered but open-hearted, Akari accepts Non-chan's proposal, firmly believing she has found her new best friend. Non-chan, now equally confused by Akari's interpretation, finds herself in an unusual companionship. This series promises a charmingly quirky and perhaps a little spooky friendship story.
Meiji-Era Master-and-Servant Tungsten
Mio Tatsumoto takes readers back to early twentieth-century Japan with Meiji-Era Master-and-Servant Tungsten. Set in the final years of the Meiji era, a period marked by a surging demand for electricity following the Russo-Japanese War, the story follows Ryouji Saeki. A young engineer recently returned from Europe, Ryouji's days are consumed by planning the construction of a hydroelectric power plant. By his side is Edward, his loyal attendant whom Ryouji took under his wing two years prior. As their shared experiences deepen amidst the feverish pace of development, their relationship as master and servant gradually begins to shift, exploring themes of companionship and evolving bonds in a rapidly modernizing Japan.
How to Keep a Human
Finally, from Pieta comes the uniquely adorable How to Keep a Human. In a world inhabited by demons and monsters, humans are a rare and peculiar sight, appearing out of nowhere every few years. The monster inhabitants quickly learn that humans require delicate care: their stomachs struggle with demon food, their bodies are fragile, easily broken by minor falls, and even a slight increase in temperature can cause them to wither. Yet, despite their fragility, humans are undeniably cute, remarkably loyal, and possess a cleverness that surpasses other common pets like une (dogs), nosa (cats), and eshig (rabbits). The central question becomes: how could anyone resist the desire to keep a human? This series promises a humorous and heartwarming look at interspecies companionship from a truly unique perspective.
