“Keiji's Kabuki Adventure” (前田慶次 かぶき旅)

“Mother Parasite” (マザーパラサイト)

“Shigahime” (屍牙姫)
Summary: Osamu Hirota is an ordinary high school student. That is, until Soichi, a student from the next town over, takes him to a mysterious mansion with promises of meeting a seductress. Out walks a voluptuous woman named Miwako, who, as she undresses, reaches inside of Soichi and rips out his heart! The next day, Hirota awakens. Was it all a dream? Or have we just started to pull back the curtains on this dark and suspenseful story?

“Tokyo Duel” (東京決闘環状戦)
Summary: In post-war Japan, a government-funded program of organized violence called the "Tokyo Loop Line Duels" is promoted to maintain law and order—and it works. Representatives from each station on the Yamanote line battle for control of their territory. Any defeat could mean losing family members, friends, money—or worse. Fast-forward to now, in 2020; a new station has opened up. Everyone, including the popular rookie, Koinosuke, is itching to join the fray for the top spot. Will he be victorious? Or will violence consume them all?
