She's the first of several magical Rozen Maidens to invade the secluded life he has made for himself since refusing to attend school anymore and living the life of a hermit. Worse, he finds himself magically bound to Shinku, his life force powering hers, and she's not too crazy about the way he's been living his life. Unfortunately, fixing everything that's wrong with Jun is going to have to take a back seat to making sure that Shinku survives the Alice Game, a competition that pits Rozen Maiden against Rozen Maiden for the prize of becoming a real girl, while the losers' life essence is drained and they become lifeless toys again. Now, in order to win this deadly game, Jun and Shinku will have to find a way to work together. But to do that they'll have to start trusting each other first!

SYNOPSIS:
Life hasn't been fair to Koyomi Morishita. Even though she's in high
school, she's so short that everyone assumes she's still in grade
school. The boys and girls in her school tease her mercilessly, and
she's not exactly graceful either. On the other hand, she's still
better off than Yumiko, who has a magician trying to kill her. Or at
least Koyomi WAS until their paths crossed! Fortunately, salvation
arrives in the form of master mage and graduate student Misa Anehara,
who agrees to take Koyomi under her wing in learning the new style of
magic, which breaks enchantment down into sequences of code. That'll be
quite a task, given that so far Koyomi's talent seems to consist of
making washbasins randomly fall out of the sky. But if it was easy, it
wouldn't be magic, would it? Get ready for a whole new kind of
'spell'ing lesson as Koyomi takes a desperately needed crash course in
charm school in MODERN MAGIC MADE SIMPLE - The Complete Collection!

Get ready for another wild and very untraditional trip down the Way of
the Ninja as student kunoichi (female ninja) Himawari and her fellow
ninjettes return for another set of insane lessons. (Are they painful
and embarrassing? Have you ever seen a ninja 'lesson' that wasn't?) Of
course, Himawari's a little older now, a little more experienced, so
she'll be doing some 'teaching' of her own this time around. But she
STILL doesn't know what the connection between her teacher Hayato and
the ninja who saved her life is! Are they the same person or are things
even more convoluted? Himawari won't have much time to think on it,
unfortunately, in between fighting alien menaces, bubblegum maniacs and
some very, very bad broccoli! Did we really say broccoli? With plots
as insane as this, will Himawari ever achieve her goal? Unfortunately
for her, the jury is still out in the complete collection of HIMAWARI
TOO!!
