Synopsis
of Let's Go Karaoke!
Nothing
worries Satomi Oka more than the upcoming final choir competition of her high
school career... until a stranger approaches her from the shadows and demands,
"Let's do karaoke!" As a yakuza, Kyouji Narita doesn't scare easily,
but a terrifying prospect has led him to seek Satomi's help. Her boss has
organized a karaoke contest, and the loser will be forced to get a tattoo, with
the boss himself deviously selecting and applying the design. Oka has attended
many vocal rehearsals over the years, but never a one-on-one karaoke session
with a gangster!
Synopsis
of Captivated, by You
Hayashi's
straightforward, straightforward demeanor quietly draws the attention of his
classmates and strangers alike as he counts all the school's staircases,
photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In
a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly authentic and
unapologetic. In contrast, Nikaidou has worked hard to perfect a somber,
brooding facade that keeps his classmates at a distance. While much of the
school considers him a bad omen, one student gains a glimpse behind the mask
and, undeterred by rumors of bad luck and supernatural powers, begins to slowly
dismantle Nikaidou's meticulously constructed persona...
