Meet the Spacetime Strategic Enforcement Unit, an organization dedicated to rescuing people from terrible destinies and tragic deaths.

But when she lays eyes on the one she summons, what she sees is not her Servant but the fairy tale prince of her dreams!

In Such a Small World
Story and Art: Natsuki Takaya

Sometimes love doesn’t happen in a flash or a bang or a sparkle of fireworks. From time to time, it’s a culmination of all the little, ordinary moments of perfectly average days—that seems to be the story of Sui Onodera’s life. More specifically, it changed for the better when Sui’s rather attractive neighbor knocked on the door to retrieve his incredibly adorable puppers, Tino, from the balcony! And so, romance with a handsome heart-throb blossoms in such a small world…
From the author of the bittersweet coming-of-age love story featuring all kinds of furry and not-so-furry zodiac animals, Fruits Basket, Natsuki Takaya presents a new mini-series featuring not only a cute couple but another furry friend…!

Non and Akari
Story and Art: Neruko Nichinichi
Synopsis:
Akari isn’t wild about moving into an eerie old house…until she meets Non-chan, a cursed doll! And what’s this? Non-chan says she wants them to be together forever?! (And maybe something else about “haunting” and “eternal regret”? That’s probably not important.) Akari, as bewildered as she is, accepts Non-chan’s proposal. Now Non-chan seems confused, too, but no matter. Akari just knows she’s found her new BFF!
Meiji-Era Master-and-Servant Tungsten
Story and Art: Mio Tatsumoto

In the final years of the Meiji era in the early twentieth century, demand for electricity has skyrocketed following the Russo-Japanese War.

By his side is the loyal attendant Edward, who Ryouji took under his wing two years ago. Little by little, how does their relationship as master and servant begin to shift…?
How to Keep a Human
Story and Art: Pieta
Synopsis:
Every few years, a human appears out of nowhere in the world of demons and monsters! You have to be careful with them—their stomachs can barely handle demon food, their bodies are fragile enough to break from a little fall, and even turning up the heat by a few dozen degrees will make them wither away…But they’re also cute, loyal, and clever in a way une (dogs), nosa (cats), and eshig (rabbits) just can’t compare! How could you not want to keep a human?
