More information on titles can be found below. All episodes will be in original Japanese with English subtitles.
Mitsuki Aya has one goal at the elite Kuromi Girls’ Academy: to become a refined young lady like the school’s flawless “White Lily,” Yorue Mio. But her image of Mio shatters when Aya accidentally catches her…playing fighting games?! Turns out, the elegant Mio is actually a hardcore gamer—and she wants to duel Aya! The battle (and their friendship) begins.
When Arc wakes up, he discovers that he has been transported to another world in the body of the character he was playing in an MMO. Looking like a suit of armor on the outside and a skeleton on the inside, he is the Skeleton Knight. If his identity is discovered, he could be mistaken for a monster and become a target! Arc decides to spend his time as a mercenary so as not to attract attention to himself. However, he’s not the kind of man who can stand idly by when he witnesses evil acts take place right before his eyes!
One of the Lords of Dark Beasts, Clevatess’s reign shatters when he revives a hero he personally slayed and adopts an orphaned humanoid baby—the last hope to save a dying world. Now bound together, what fate awaits this unlikely trio?
And more!
