What's wrong with this story?

After being kidnapped, Kimizuka, Natsunagi, Saikawa, and Charlie have learned the truth about Siesta's death... or have they? A girl who looks just like the deceased appears and informs them that the footage they've been investigating contains an error. As they hunt for an answer to a mystery that even Siesta couldn't uncover, the group will learn what it truly means to inherit the legacy of an ace detective. Though the detective may already be dead and the truth of her passing revealed, it's still early for the epilogue...

Who were you to her? Who was she to you?

While out and about one day, Kimihiko Kimizuka and his three friends are kidnapped by...Siesta herself?! But they soon learn there's more to the story as the long-forgotten truth of the detective's death is revealed. Will this be the clue that finally unlocks the secrets of Kimihiko's part?

When the story begins without its hero

Kimihiko Kimizuka has always been a magnet for trouble and intrigue. For as long as he can remember, he's been stumbling across murder scenes or receiving mysterious attaché cases to transport. When he met Siesta, a brilliant detective fighting a secret war against an organization of pseudohumans, he couldn't resist the call to become her assistant and join her on an epic journey across the world.

...Until a year ago, that is. Now he's returned to a life that is normal and tepid by comparison, knowing the adventure must be over. After all, the detective is already dead.

Corrupted by the Dark Side!

After a narrowly won battle, Yuti surrenders to Master Rabbit and Yuuya, abandoning her plan to destroy humanity. She has no home to return to, so Yuuya offers up his. However, traces of demonic energy remain inside Yuti, and there's no telling when they might take over, so Yuuya decides to risk transferring them to himself. Will he be able to resist his dark impulses and the temptation of power?

A Knight in Shining... Thunderbolt Armor?!

After stopping an assassination attempt on King Arnold and Princess Lexia, Yuuya is roped into the hunt for the traitorous Prince Reigar. In the ensuing chaos, a mysterious girl attacks without warning. Her goal? Destroy the world! To have any chance of holding his own against this new foe who is on par with Master Rabbit, Yuuya will have to think fast - as fast as lightning. Hopefully, his quick thinking will be just as useful on Earth, because when Kaori visits his place to study for midterms, she accidentally stumbles upon the door to the other world!

Life in the Limelight!

Yuuya's not sure how things ended up this way. His training buddy, Luna, made an attempt on Lexia's life, and now his planned visit to the capital has fallen apart. The King's opinion of him has hit rock bottom, and conspirators against the crown are eager to make Yuuya the scapegoat for their heinous plot. Back in his world, the Ousei Academy Ball Sports Tournament is making it impossible for Yuuya to stay incognito, no matter how much he's rather avoid the attention. His good looks and strength might be unrivaled here as well, but can he handle the pressure and responsibility that come with them?!

Living his best life!

Leveling up has truly changed Yuuya's life. In the real world, things have done a complete 180. He's getting used to his new school and making fast friend-which includes a fluffy companion in the other world. Meanwhile, thanks to his physical prowess and good looks, his popularity is through the roof (though he's oblivious to this). He's also finally learned how to use magic! Will it be enough to help him survive fires, assassins, and trials in the wilderness?!

A chance to come back!

Á mysterious door stands open, inviting a boy who's been brutally bullied all his life to take a courageous step forward into the unknown. On the other side, he finds a hoard of priceless artifacts and a world as filled with magic as it is with monsters. The most shocking revelation, however, is that he can bring whatever he wants back with him when he returns to Earth. It won't be long before this double life changes him forever...

Before Much Longer… The White Fog Will Engulf The World In Silence

All is well at the Midgar Academy for Dark Knights, but then something wicked suddenly draws near: The students are vanishing one by one – even Cid’s older sister, Claire! Zeta of the Seven Shadows sets off to investigate, while Cid and Alexia embark for Claire’s room where they find… An ancient script, cool magic circles, and incantations that seem important and yet don’t actually do anything whatsoever. What does it all mean, and why has Claire been talking to herself so much lately…?

Was it a certain anime? Or was it a manga - or a movie?

Eh, I guess it doesn't matter. I was all in for anything that featured a mastermind, or an eminence in shadow, as I like to call them. These characters were never the protagonists or final bosses but were relegated to a role behind the scenes where they flaunted their powers and meddled in the affairs of others. I've always looked up to the men in the shadows.

I wanted to be one of them.

Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, a Progenitor Vampire, slumbering in her coffin for many moons. An expert at landing himself in trouble, Cid should know better than to go after her… but he’s dying to get a piece of the action. It’s time he shed his daytime persona to take on the role of Shadow!

Soon enough, he finds the three rulers of the Lawless City-Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the vampire – are all on his tail.

One Big Fat Lie And A Few Twisted Truths

Even in his past life, Cid's dream wasn't to become a protagonist or a final boss. He'd rather lie low as a minor character until it's prime time to reveal he's a mastermind... or at least, do the next best thing - pretend to be one! And now that he's been reborn into another world, he's ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the read deal - and everyone knows the truth but him!
