Misaki runs her school with an iron fist of discipline, as the newly-elected student body president of a rough boys’ school that recently went co-ed. Her attempts to remake the school as a paradigm of girl-friendly, well-mannered behavior cause lots of friction and arouse the suspicion of Usui, the “lone wolf” de facto leader of the boys. Usui discovers Misaki’s frilly little secret—she’s making ends meet at home by working at a maid cosplay cafe! Will Misaki kill Usui to keep her secret, or will she go postal on the maid cafe’s stalker-ish patrons first?

A refreshingly innocent love story of a painfully shy girl who discovers friendship, first love, and happiness after years of being reviled and ostracized by her classmates and teachers. Blossoming like a flower in the sun, Sawako (who looks like “Sadako”—the ghost-girl from The Ring) speaks to the awkward adolescent that everyone used to be, and brings a new attitude to familiar coming-of-age territory.

In a dream-like vision of pre-war Japan, a lone man travels the countryside in search of “mushi”—tiny, primitive creatures caught between flesh and spirit. As a mushi doctor, Ginko helps people caught in the mushi’s web of delusion, delight and despair, but can he help himself? Beautifully styled, with haunting music and compelling stories that really pull you into the richly-nuanced world of the mushi.

Revenge is a dish best served cold... but Kyoko opts for hot and splashy revenge under the stage lights when she is treated cruelly by the man she supported for her entire young life. A star-is-born story with an unlikely and unprepared spunky heroine, and a very hard-edged look at what it takes to make it to the top (and stay there).
