Suzaku High School has a big secret. One that punk student Ryu Yamada finds himself tangled in after a literal run-in with honor student Urara Shiraishi. The two find themselves in a bizarre body swap caused by…a kiss?! A convenient albeit weird new trick, the two keep switching places (and kissing!) until they’re found out by student council member Miyamura. Rather than give them away, he has a better idea—reform the Supernatural Studies Club. A great cover up…except for the fact that Yamada keeps kissing everyone!

Soon they learn they that aren’t the only two with abilities. In fact, school legend speaks of seven witches—female students gifted with different powers. But when they start seeking out the witches, they find themselves in a situation more dangerous than expected. Secrets kept by the student council, the powers that lie with the witches, and the possibility of losing everyone he’s grown close to—are the answers Yamada seeks worth the cost of everything he holds dear?

Far to the north of the world lies Hell's Gate, a portal formerly used by the Demon Lord to invade the human realm. Thanks to the legendary hero Shion Bladearts, wielder of Excalibur, and his loyal band of companions, the Gate was sealed off and the demonic threat was vanquished.

Unfortunately, the seal was incomplete and has begun to weaken, allowing the demons to once again begin their attack. Worried about the safety of his village, selfish and perverted farmer Touka Scott digs pitfalls to defend against the demons. But fear not, for Shion is on his way to reseal Hell's Gate and save humanity!

Or at least he was, because the legendary hero is dead, having fallen into one of the pitfalls Touka dug. Luckily, dealing with the dead is the specialty of necromancer Anri Haynesworth. While she can't revive him, Anri can at least salvage their quest by forcing Touka's soul into Shion's rotting body and dragging him along to Hell's Gate in Shion's place. Not wanting to be left behind, Touka's childhood friend Yuna Yunis tags along. Together, the three of them set out as what just might be the most unsuitable party to ever try to save the world!

Kenshin solves the case of a crossroad killer who was tarnishing the name of the Kasshin-ryu while claiming to be the "Hitokiri Battosai," which then leads to Kaoru offering to have the wanderer stay at her dojo.
Follow Kenshin's journey as he makes treasured friendships with Yahiko Myojin, a descendent of a samurai-class family in Tokyo, and Sanosuke Sagara, a fighter for hire, and faces off against various foes who have unfinished business from Kenshin's past.

Long ago, there lived an evil being who reigned over the world through fear, called Satan Rchimedes. He invaded the human world with his many demon underlings, spreading madness and chaos everywhere. One thousand years ago, this menace was sealed by the hero Creation, and peace returned to the world.

Then, one day, a great hole suddenly appeared on the surface of the world, and a vast number of demons appeared. The king discerned that the menace Satan had returned after being sealed away for a thousand years, and decided to send the hero's descendants to battle him. He found 75 men. As one thousand years had passed, you see, it was difficult to tell who the hero's descendants were.

So the king declared that he would grant the title of "true hero" and great fortune to the one who defeated Satan, and ordered the new hero, Alba, and his warrior attendant, Ross, on a quest to bring down the evil Satan.

Though he struggles with lesser monsters and is even nearly killed by his partner Ross, Alba's quest to polish his fighting skills leads him to new places and new meetings that he had never expected. Battles, laughter, and emotional moments enhance this adventure tale of an incompetent hero and a sadistic warrior!

Onda Nozomi has been playing soccer with boys since she was a child. Despite practicing harder and being better than anyone else, once she enters middle school, she hits a wall.

"Physical difference" ─In a sport like soccer where athletes sometimes violently collide, it becomes a reason for the boys to be separated from the girls.

Nonetheless, Nozomi doesn't give up! She rejects the words "because she's a girl" so that she can continue to play her favorite sport with her friends.

Nozomi is about to become a soccer star who captures everyone's attention!

※ NOTE: Second season of BUILD-DIVIDE

Neo Kyoto...a city ruled by the "King." This is where players challenge the King in "Rebuild Battles," hoping to get their wishes fulfilled. But there’s more to Neo Kyoto than meets the eye: it’s a virtual realm where the best Build-Divide players are chosen to be connected to the main CPU, and then fused with the program running the city. There, Teruto’s battle was all about rescuing the trapped Kikka from her role as the main CPU...

Time passed, and it’s three years later...

Neo Kyoto is now a city in ruins, looking nothing like it did before. The people are being rounded up by the King’s servants, known as KUGE, and deposited into “Barrels” to steal their magical power. All in order to keep the King going...

And now a girl appears, with the KUGE in pursuit. She’s the former King, Kikka Kurabe. Although she was once known as the most powerful King in Neo Kyoto’s history, even Kikka is helpless against the KUGE, and is constantly on the run from them. After all, Kikka has no Build-Divide deck in hand.

"This is a crime, this is my punishment. I’ll never see the light again..."

Day after day, she continues to flee with no respite, consumed by all kinds of regrets. Now that she’s on the brink of despair, who should reach out a helping hand to her but...?

I want to see you again.

"Teruto." "Master."

In the ruins of Neo Kyoto, the two girls take each other by the hand. And now, their battle is about to begin... the one that will lead them to the person that they both cherish.

They don't always see eye-to-eye, but that just makes these high school girls' daily lives more fun. "Their lives happen when nothing is happening" in this anime based on the lackadaisical four-panel manga. *This story features high school girls, but there's not much romance, and comedy has its place. Don't expect too much extravagance.
