GHOST SWEEPER MIKAMI GOKURAKU DAISAKUSEN!!
by Shiina Takashi

Overview: Mikami Reiko is a money-hungry, gorgeous
female ghost buster, aided by her sex-starved and underpaid
male assistant Yokoshima Tadao, as well as kind and gentle
female ex-ghost O-kinu.
This issue: This issue: Shiro (the cute
female werewolf) and Tamamo (the cute, female, regenerated
nine-tailed magical fox) have been teamed up to solve a tough
murder case ... but Shiro discovers the murderer is a possessive
entity who has taken over Saijou. After feigning death to avoid
getting taken over, she communicates via the universal dog-family
language to warn Tamamo, and Mikami wraps up the case. Will the
wolf and the fox finally get along now...?
MAJOR
by Mitsuda Takuya

Overview: Honda Goro, from his early years in grade school,
has been striving to become a professional baseball player like
his deceased father. Now, in Kaidou high school, he is facing new
challenges.
This issue: Honda, despite
being told to leave conformist Kaidou if he ever wants to become a
baseball star, has chosen to stay and learn everything about
baseballeven if it's from the outfield instead of the
pitching mound, where he belongs. Satou quietly helps by
laboriously copying the pitchers' lessons and slipping them to
Honda. At a late night practice, Honda is impressed to see one
young man able to catch outfield balls in the dark. But this young
man dislikes Honda's attitude toward the outfield, and won't
divulge his secret....
KARAKURI CIRCUS
by Fujita Kazuhiro

Overview: Masaru is a grade school boy who is the heir
to a vast fortune. Shirogane, a French woman who controls a
powerful puppet, is his bodyguard. Far away, their friend Narumi
is becoming embroiled in an ancient battle against evil living
puppets.
This issue: Narumi and Guy are still hearing
about the story of the living puppets from Lucille: With her village
destroyed by puppets and the survivors suffering from Zonopha,
Lucille and her friends had partaken of the aqua vitae created by
the strange traveling alchemist named Shirogane (Silver). But they
discovered this aqua vitae had dissolved its owner's body and soul,
and now his hatred of the puppets was within them all. Thus was born
the Shirogane, those driven by one man's hate-filled desire to
destroy the puppets. Of all whom have had aqua vitae, only Narumi
hasn't had this strange effect. But as Lucille tells the story,
living puppet Aleluquino arrives, and Narumi now has to save
Lucille.
RECCA NO HONOO
by Anzai Nobuyuki

Overview: Recca is a fire-wielding high school freshman
ninja. He and his friends, who are aligned with the four
elements, are up against a new evil....
This issue: The word comes
that Fuuko has been saved from the magical soul-draining container
by the enigmatic but heroic Raiha. Now, with all their loved ones
safe, they can fight without handicaps against the mind-reading
Kirin, who is the last obstacle to the door through which the evil
Mori has gone. Recca gets thoroughly trounced, but when Domon steps
up, even the powerful Kirin finds herself unexpectedly topless
(clothing-wise) with one strike from Domon. (Now, is this due to
Domon's "stupidity"?)
