Battle Angel Alita: Holy Night & Other Stories

One-Punch Man

Saitama is a young man with a lifeless expression, a bald head, and an unimpressive physique. After three years of rigorous training, he has gained immense strength that allows him to defeat anyone or anything with a single punch. He decides to put this power to good use by becoming a hero impressed, but quickly grows bored: no villain can withstand more than one of his puncheszu, and bringing the spark of being a hero has simply become impossible to find. To make matters worse, he receives neither the recognition he deserves nor the respect of the public because he is not part of the official Hero Association. Determined to boost his reputation, Saitama teams up with Genos, a cyborg who w

Dandadan

Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but thinks aliens are nonsense. By chance, she befriends a boy at school who is obsessed with the occult and UFOs, but rejects the existence of spirits. She nicknames him "Okarun." To settle their argument, they make a bet: Momo visits a spot known for UFO sightings while Okarun heads to a haunted tunnel. Their separate excursions prove both of them wrong, as they discover that aliens and ghosts are very real. The encounter leaves them marked by bizarre powers and throws them into a chaotic world of yokairaqs and extraterrestrial threats. Together, they must deal with the surreal dangers now disrupting their everyday lives while navig

Kaiju No.8

Kafka Hibino is 32 years old and works as a sweeper, cleaning up the remains of the kaiju that constantly attack Japan. It is a job far removed from his childhood dream: to join the Japan Defense Force and fight alongside his friend Mina, now a captain in the elite unit. When a rule change makes him eligible to enlist, Kafka decides to try once more. But before he can take the exam, a mysterious creature enters his body and turns him into a humanoid kaiju. Now able to transform into a monster, Kafka must hide his new nature while pursuing his goal. The Defense Force, the very organization he wants to join, has identified him as Kaiju No. 8 and marked him for elimination.

Dr. STONE

A blinding flash of light petrifies every human on Earth in an instant. Thousands of years later, high schooler Taiju awakens in a world overrun by nature, where the ruins of civilization stand frozen in stone. He soon discovers that his friend Senku, a brilliant and science-obsessed young man, has already been awake for months and is determined to rebuild humanity from scratch using the power of science. Together they begin reviving other people and developing technology to survive in this new stone world. But their plans take a dangerous turn when they free Tsukasa, a powerful fighter who believes the petrification was a chance to start over without the corruption of modern civilization.

Land of the Lustrous

In a distant future, Earth is home to the Lustrous, crystalline lifeforms who defend themselves against the Lunarians, invaders from the moon who seek to harvest their bodies for weapons and decorations. Among the twenty-eight gems, Phosphophyllite is the most fragile and brittle, with no visible talent for battle. Longing to fight but deemed too weak, Phos is instead assigned by their master Adamantine to compile a natural history of their world. The task seems dull and pointless, but it brings Phos into contact with Cinnabar, a gem forced to live in isolation due to their dangerous nature. As Phos pursues this seemingly mundane assignment, they begin to uncover deeper truths about their

Gantz

Kei Kurono is a cynical high school student who keeps to himself, tired of the cruelty people are capable of. One day at the subway station, his classmate Masaru Katou jumps onto the tracks to save a drunk man who has fallen. On impulse, Kei follows him. They manage to pull the man to safety, but both boys are struck and killed by the oncoming train. Instead of dying, Kei and Masaru wake up in an apartment full of strangers, all of whom have recently died. In the center of the room is a large black sphere called Gantz. It gives them high-tech suits and strange weapons, then sends them out to hunt and kill bizarre alien creatures hidden on Earth. Each mission is brutal and often deadly. Sur
