Dragon Head

Teru Aoki is returning home by train after a class trip when the train derails inside a mountain tunnel. Nearly everyone aboard is killed in the violent crash, and amid the bloody wreckage he finds only two other survivors: his classmates Ako Seto and Nobuo Takahashi.

In the future, colonists who migrated to an alternate dimensional space rebel against Earth, seeking independence. The United Army of Earth answers with a long, multi-dimensional war, and the battlefronts keep spreading with no end in sight.

To hunt them down, the army fields the 13th Independent Assault Girl Hunting Platoon, nicknamed the Hyena Platoon, crewed by outcasts and criminals.

Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World

Kino travels the world astride Hermes, a talking motorrad who supplies the speed while Kino supplies the balance. The two are inseparable, moving from one country to the next along a road that keeps stretching ahead of them. By their own rule, they never stay anywhere longer than three days — just enough time to learn a place's customs and meet its people before moving on. Some of what they find is gentle and some of it is cruel: happiness and grief, violence and decay, beauty and hard-won wisdom, all of it waiting behind the next border. Because the world is imperfect, Kino and Hermes keep going, unwilling to trade the freedom of the road for a place to settle, and curious about whatever

SPRIGGAN

Long before humanity rose to power, an alien civilization ruled the Earth and left behind artifacts of immense power. Once those relics are rediscovered, governments, paramilitary groups and private armed forces begin a secret race to claim them. The machines were a warning as much as a gift: weapons nobody should use again. Standing against that scramble is the ARCAM Corporation, the only organization committed to keeping the relics buried and out of reach. Its answer is a unit of elite operatives known as Spriggan, sent wherever a doomsday weapon surfaces. Among them is Ominae Yu, a brash teenage agent who wears ARCAM's most powerful experimental armor. Strong enough to face cyborgs and
