Lucky Star

story

Though Konata Izumi, a high school girl, is extremely athletic, she refuses to join any of the school's sports teams. And though she is quite bright, her grades remain low. Her mediocrity at school is because she's a hardcore game/anime lover, and is not interested in anything else. For the students at Ryouoh Gakuen High School, time passes at a very lethargic pace. Konata' s female friends - Kagami Hiiragi, an honor student; Kagami's twin sister Tsukasa, a great chef; Miyuki Takara, a well-born rich girl; and Akira Kogami, cheerful and energetic - continually get involved with Konata's life.

Makoto Konno, a pretty and precocious high-schooler, has two guy best friends in her class. One of them is her childhood friend Kosuke Tsuda and the other is Chiaki Mamiya.

It isn't like Makoto is dating either boy; the three of them share a casual and easygoing friendship. Makoto values their kind and innocent bond, especially since they are all about to become high school seniors and will have to make serious decisions about their lives. But change is about to come for Makoto, sooner than she thinks... After a mysterious incident in the school chemistry lab, Makoto finds herself with the gift to slip back into time. Makoto can retrace her steps to yesterday, or last week -and she can change things at will. She can choose to re-indulge in a great meal, or fix an annoying problem with one little tweak of the past. But once Makoto gets a handle on her ability, she finds herself consumed with her new power. Is she putting her friendships with Kosuke and Chiaki at risk?

Venus to Mamoru

story

Manifesting itself from people's emotions, the mysterious power known as Beatrice is the most powerful magic known to mankind.
There is only one school in Japan that teaches the ways of Beatrice- Tokyo Beatrice University Senior High school, also known as TBU High.
Mamoru Yoshimura is a short teenager who looks like he's about ten years old. His smile is his saving grace, and can make anyone feel better. He is honest, cheerful, courteous and a true romantic. As a child, his life was saved by the magic of Beatrice. Waiting to learn more about conjuring and controlling the supernatural, he transfers TBU High as a freshman. He will soon discover that while he lacks development, he has a talent for controlling Beatrice and may even be a genius-level charmer. On Mamoru's first day, he saw a girl sitting under a blooming cherry blossom tree. She is a sight to behold. Before Mamoru can even ask her name, he was told by her, "We should go steady."
And that was the day that fate brought Mamoru and Ayako together.
Ayako Takasu is a sophomore at TBU High. She serves as the president of the student body and is the granddaughter of an important politician. In addition to being tall and gorgeous, she also is a genius-level Beatrice charmer capable of using her powers to do almost anything that pops into her head. The other students call her Beatrice the Witch and Beatrice the Angel of Death behind her back, but deep down inside, she is actually a very innocent girl with a kind soul.
