SYNOPSIS:
You may have heard of kung fu, but the girls at Oarai Academy practice
gun-fu - really, really BIG gun-fu, in fact. It's called Tankery, and
it's the martial art of operating armored tanks! And even though the
Tankery program at Oarai has been defunct for years, the student council
has taken a sudden interest in the art and no one they set their sights
on is safe. Which is how Miho Nishizumi, who transferred to Oarai
specifically to stay out of tanks, gets drafted to join the newly
revived Tankery divison. But it's not all bad, because joining her in
Team Anglerfish are her new found friends Saori, the highly receptive
radio operator; Hana, a flower arranger turned gunner; Mako, their
brilliant, but chronically sleepy driver; and combustible tank fangirl
and loader Yukari. They may not be on the half-track to fame and
fortune, and maybe some of them would rather shop for tank tops than
become tops in tanks, but once their focus is locked and loaded, they're
absolutely driven. It's mad, it's metal and mayhem is guaranteed!
It's GIRLS UND PANZER!

SYNOPSIS:
Becoming a Magical Girl isn't easy, but Padudu thinks she has most of
the bases covered. She even has a magical pet and a magical cloak!
Granted, her pet's a talking fish that she wears as the cloak (and
occasionally snacks on,) but now all she SHOULD have to do is wander the
countryside, fight in official Magical Battles and collect enough
Hanamaru stamps to become an official Magical Girl. But life isn't
always that simple, and when Padudu accidentally breaks a law, she ends
up on the run and traveling with some really odd companions: There's
MyuMyu, who wears a pair of cats as a bikini, Pipin, who dresses like a
rabbit and wears HER magical pet bunny as a back pack, and the nefarious
criminal Nonononn, who also wanted to be a Magical Girl, and has both a
Hammerhead Shark and mysterious ties to the Queen (who's nowhere near
as nice as her PR would have you believe.) So what happens when the
strangest set of strangers ever set forth in an even stranger land? The
one thing you can count on is that it's going to get REALLY weird in
MAGICAL PLAY!

Japan and delivering whatever's been ordered, no questions asked,
C.O.D., A.S.A.P. Unfortunately, Nami's drive to become debt free is
full of speed bumps like obsessive cops and cheating rival truckers,

friends," and one big pot hole in the form of Momoko, an eager beaver
truck stop hooker with a heart of gold, a brain of tofu and a desperate
yen to become Nami's partner. And all that's just a warm up for what
happens when a package belonging to a gang of dim but ruthless gangsters
somehow ends up in Nami's back end! Get ready for hijackings, high
balling and the most crazed hijinks to ever hit the highways and byways

Christmas Cruise or being kidnapped by her new arch rival Pyocola
Analogue III (just call her Piyoko,) you never know what might happen
next. The one thing you can bet on, however, is that Dejiko’s stalwart

Room 101 of Sakura Hall, a notorious den of troublemakers, geniuses and
weirdos. Meanwhile, Mashiro Shiina in Room 202 is the cat's meow of the
art world. However, she's so unfocused and dysfunctional that she
needs a full-time keeper to survive day-to-day life while she puts her
career as a famous artist on hold and studies to be a manga creator.
That's too big a task for Chihiro, Mashiro's cousin who lives in the
same dorm and also happens to be Sorata's teacher. But given Sorata's
weakness for taking in small, cute but sometimes not completely loveable
creatures, could he be the one destined to take over Mashiro's
grooming, feeding and general, er… domestication? Well, if he's not,
too bad, 'cause no one else is stepping up and he's stuck with it and
her! Heavy petting gets redefined, the dorm's the only thing likely to
get housebroken and hopefully no one will get neutered as who's on whose
leash becomes anybodies' guess in The Pet Girl of Sakurasou Collection

maybe that's not as easy as it sounds, but it's worked for Mei. Or at
least it did. Until handsome, charming and annoyingly popular Yamato
Kurosawa came along. Because for some freakish reason, he seems to like
Mei. He even gave her his phone number! As if she would ever call
him. Except she did. But only because she needed help. Still, he
came. He actually came. And now things are getting way too
complicated. Mei's no princess in a tower. She's not waiting for a
knight in shining armor to rescue her. So why did he have to kiss her
and confuse everything? And why are those three little words so hard to
say? Between heartbeats, behind trembling lips, and unspoken with
every breath, the specter of betrayals past, future and present now
haunt them both in SAY "I LOVE YOU."
