One day, first year high school student Yuichi Sakaki suddenly awakens the power of "Soul Reader" within him, and he can see words above peoples heads that describe their true nature! With just a glance at the people around him, he sees crazy things like "Zombie", "Witch", and "Vampire"... That would be bad enough, but then there is "Serial Killer" Natsuki Takeuchi walking straight toward him... Nobody would ever believe him! Well, except for his older sister Mutsuko: This kind of stuff is right up her alley.

Yuichi hasn't yet unraveled the secret behind his magical sight, but the end of his first school term is still as busy and can be! He's got survival club activities led by his big sister Mutsuko, early morning combat training with the serial killer Natsuki Takeuchi, and a first date with the vampire Aiko Noro (with his little sister tagging along, for some reason). Then, in the midst of it all, Aiko reveals that her big brother Kyoya -- whose world domination-plotting middle school syndrome has been growing worse and worse lately -- has gone missing!

The Divine Vessels War is reaching its conclusion. But with Soul Reader gone, Yuichi wants nothing more than to drop out! But will he really be able to go back to the normal life he's always wanted? And if he does, will Mutsuko ever speak to him again?!

Yuichi, and the survival club are finally heading off for their summer training camp, to a luxurious villa in a remote seaside resort. Will anime-style swimsuit episode shenanigans ensue? If his big sister has anything to say about it, yes! But while the gang enjoys some much needed fun in the sun, a darker plot lurks just offshore. The world's strongest little brother is about to face his greatest challenge yet!

Between a secret battle to reassemble a dismembered evil god and a threat from destiny-altering beings waiting in the wings, the world's strongest little brother seems to have enough on his mind. But there's even more waiting in store for Yuichi Sakaki, and things are about to get more chaotic by the week. Soon, a yakuza gang is stalking his little sister, a demon doll is stalking Aiko, an overzealous archer is stalking him... and that's only the beginning!

Yuichi's not-very-restful summer vacation came to an end, and the new school term isn't looking much better. Immortal demons are trying to kill him, his new teacher is a superpowered sociopath, and all kinds of bizarre events are happening around the school. What does Kanako's new novel have to do with the bizarre goings on at Seishin High? Once again, it's up to the world's strongest little brother, and his highly delusional sister, to find out!

--Let's get this story moving. Alongside the people most important to him, a boy goes out to meet the same sunrise once more. Strengthening his resolve, Subaru returns to his first day in the mansion. Repeating his loop in the Roswaal household armed with his memories, Subaru attempts to only make the optimal decisions to avoid another tragedy, but his fear and obsession with evading death and failure are slowly warping him. While Subaru slowly falls apart trying to save everyone...who will save Subaru...?

Despite being warned of its limited usefulness, Megumin believes explosion magic is the way for her to become a great, voluptuous wizard, and she won't be convinced otherwise!

I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald's still would be open. High school sophomore Miranda's disbelief turns to fear in a split second when an asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth, like "one marble hits another." The result is catastrophic. How can her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis are wiping out the coasts, earthquakes are rocking the continents, and volcanic ash is blocking out the sun? As August turns dark and wintery in northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of a wood-burning stove. Told in a year's worth of journal entries, this heart-pounding story chronicles Miranda's struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world. An extraordinary series debut Susan Beth Pfeffer has written several companion novels to Life As We Knew It, including The Dead and the Gone, This World We Live In, and The Shade of the Moon.

Although not terribly bothered by the thought of dying, he reluctantly decides to protect his lone companion. After all, a lowly Level 1000 monster doesn't stand a chance against his secret power to invoke Instant Death with a single thought! If he can stay awake long enough to bother using it, that is...
