Kazuma Satou, a high school student and shut-in, meets a ridiculous end on his way home from purchasing a new video game. He awakens before Aqua, a stunning yet incredibly annoying goddess, who offers him a choice: move on to the afterlife or be reincarnated into the ultimate fantasy realm. Opting for a fresh start, Kazuma is immediately assigned the mission to defeat the menacing Demon King. Before departing, he may select one item to accompany him, and he foolishly chooses Aqua herself. However, this proves to be a catastrophic error, as she is utterly incompetent. The pair soon discovers that reality in this world is nothing like the video games they know. Rather than embarking on an epic journey, they are forced to scrape together enough money to survive, marking the beginning of their endless string of misfortunes.

After her father is killed, Ryuuko Matoi travels across the country seeking his murderer. Her only clue is the missing half of his creation, the Scissor Blade, which leads her to Honnouji Academy, an elite high school unlike any ordinary institution. The academy is controlled by the stern and merciless student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin and her formidable subordinates, the Elite Four. Within the school's cutthroat ranking system, Satsuki grants top-performing students special garments called "Goku Uniforms," which bestow unique superhuman abilities.

When Senketsu comes into contact with Ryuuko's blood, it awakens, attaching itself to her and granting her immense power. Armed with Senketsu and the Scissor Blade, Ryuuko confronts the Elite Four, determined to reach Satsuki and uncover the truth behind her father's murder once and for all.

Death City houses the renowned Death Weapon Meister Academy, known as Shibusen, which is led by Shinigami, Lord Death himself. The institution’s goal is to cultivate Death Scythes for the Shinigami to use against the myriad evils of their magical world. These weapons are not traditional metal instruments but are human hybrids capable of transforming into Demon Weapons, a status achieved only after consuming 99 evil souls and one witch’s soul. Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe indifferent to anything but coolness, strives to become a Death Scythe with the assistance of his disciplined meister, Maka Albarn. This mismatched pair studies and works alongside the fiery Black☆Star and his supportive weapon Tsubaki, as well as Death the Kid, the Shinigami’s son, who is an obsessive-compulsive dual wielder of the twin pistols Patty and Liz. While undertaking missions to gather souls and defend the city from global dangers, the Shibusen students collaborate under the watching sun to achieve balance in their minds, bodies, and souls.

Not only is he stuck with a useless deity now serving as their party's archpriest, but the pair also needs to earn enough money for living expenses. Compounding their troubles, their group keeps expanding as more problematic adventurers join their ranks.

Five years following his victory at the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu enjoys a tranquil existence alongside his wife and child. That peace is shattered by the sudden appearance of a stranger named Raditz, who claims to be Gokuu's older brother. Raditz reveals that Gokuu belongs to the Saiyan race, once mighty but nearly extinct after their home planet was destroyed. Sent to Earth as an infant with the mission to conquer and annihilate the planet, Gokuu's brutal instincts were erased by a head injury that caused amnesia; instead, he grew up gentle and polite, now using his strength to defend others. After failing to forcibly recruit Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns his friends of an imminent danger rapidly approaching Earth—one that will ignite an interstellar war and make the very heavens tremble. A conflict over the seven mystical Dragon Balls, magical artifacts capable of granting any desire, is about to erupt. Only the strongest will endure.

Gokuu Son is a young boy living alone in the woods—until a girl named Bulma stumbles upon him while searching for a set of magical objects known as the "Dragon Balls." Since these artifacts are said to grant a single wish to anyone who collects all seven, Bulma hopes to gather them and wish for the perfect boyfriend. Gokuu happens to have a dragon ball, but he refuses to give it up, so Bulma strikes a deal: he can join her on her quest if he allows her to borrow the dragon ball's power. With that, the two embark on a journey of a lifetime. They don't travel alone. Along the way, they meet the old Muten-Roshi and his aspiring disciple Kuririn, with whom Gokuu trains to become a stronger martial artist for the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament. However, not everything is fun and games; the ability to make any wish come true is a powerful one, and there are others who would do far worse than just wishing for a boyfriend.

Once there, Kazuma and the others decide to sightsee the wonders of Megumin's birthplace. However, they soon come to realize that the nonsense threat they received might have been more than just a joke.

By day he plays the role of an ordinary student, while by night he takes up a crowbar and violently crushes local bike gangs. When a truck hits him, his dreams appear cut short.

This error turns him into the center of a rapidly growing harem of women from various species, all drawn to him by powerful attraction and erotic tension.

There is a well-known saying: "you can never be too careful." It is crucial to prepare for every possible scenario, even if it seems like a pointless waste of time. Additionally, in RPGs and similar games, it is wise to overlevel compared to your enemies to ensure total victory. These words describe Seiya Ryuuguuin a little too well. Summoned by the goddess Ristarte to prevent the world of Gaeabrande from being destroyed, the hero begins his noble quest. However, despite having overpowered stats, he spends an extremely long time training himself. He uses his strongest skills against weak enemies and buys far too many supplies and potions—all in the name of safety. While his attitude may be somewhat irritating, it could very well be what saves Gaeabrande, especially given that it is a world where the forces of evil dominate every expectation.
