A tower exists that summons selected individuals, referred to as Regulars, with the promise of fulfilling their deepest desires. Whether those desires are wealth, fame, power, or something beyond all of that—everything awaits those who reach its summit. Twenty-Fifth Bam had spent his entire life knowing only a dark cave, a ragged cloth, and a distant, unreachable light. Then a girl named Rachel appeared to him through that light, and his whole world changed. They became close friends, and Rachel taught him many things about the world outside.

This perfect world offers the only hope for the few living things left in this desolate land, but the myth says only wolves can discover the way to this fabled place.

In the kingdom of Midland, a wandering mercenary named Guts chooses a life of battle over tranquility. Though the odds are stacked against him, he proves unstoppable against any foe, wielding an enormous sword far bigger than his own body. One day, Griffith—the enigmatic commander of the Band of the Hawk mercenaries—sees Guts’ combat skill and asks the drifter to join his group. Guts refuses, but when he challenges Griffith to a fight, he is unexpectedly beaten and forced to enlist. Now Guts must fight alongside Griffith and his troops to help Midland conquer the Empire of Chuder. Yet Griffith seems to have hidden ambitions, seeking something far greater than merely ending the war.

Once hailed as the saviors of Midland, they are now hunted fugitives, desperately trying to free their leader Griffith, who was imprisoned for treason. But the man they rescue bears little resemblance to the Griffith they remember. Griffith is a shattered remnant of his former charismatic self after enduring a year of horrific torture. Unable to walk, speak, or even lift a sword, he clings only to the strange Crimson Behelit that refuses to leave him. The entire Band of the Hawk yearns to rise again, but the price of reclaiming their former glory may be steep.

Few know his true identity: a protector who, after periods of inactivity, emerges as the alternate personality of high school girl Touka Miyashita to battle "the enemies of the world." Now, a series of unexplained disappearances—dismissed by the school as mere runaways—has roused Boogiepop. But somewhere on the campus, a dangerous creature lurks, waiting for the right moment to strike. Boogiepop wa Warawanai gently examines the deep connections between human beings and their experience of time, while exploring the intricate relationships, emotions, memories, and pasts of its characters.

The Band of the Hawk and their mysterious commander Griffith continue their streak of victories, elevating their reputation across the kingdom of Midland. Their newest mission, however, has proven impossible for all who have tried: capturing the seemingly unbreachable fortress of Doldrey.

Yet following the triumph, Guts resolves to leave the Hawks to chase his own ambitions and says goodbye to his comrades, ignoring Griffith's requests to remain. This single departure shatters Griffith's self-control and drives him to a choice that will forever change both his destiny and that of the Band of the Hawk.

In the American Old West, the greatest race in the world is about to commence.

In the chaos, Johnny accidentally touches the steel ball and feels a surge of energy flow into his legs, allowing him to stand for the first time in two years. Determined to uncover the secret of the steel balls, Johnny decides to enter the race, and thus begins his bizarre journey across America on the Steel Ball Run.

They get no respite from the constant demon attacks, and they need a place where Casca can be secure until they find a way to restore her. Their elf ally, Puck, speaks of the mysterious land of Elfhelm, said to be a refuge from the demons plaguing the world. Exhausted and clinging to faint hope, they press on in search of a place to live—and they still must track down those responsible for the suffering they endure.

Both day and night, unexplainable horrors lurk in the darkest corners, waiting to strike. They cannot be escaped or defeated—only endured. Prepare yourself, or you might be their next victim.
