Rekka is just starting to think that things have quieted down a bit, and that he might actually get a chance to be a normal high schooler for once. Who knows? He might actually study for his upcoming midterms. One phone call from Hibiki, however, is all it takes to send things spiraling out of control. It turns out Chelsea has a friend who’s come into a very strange problem. But wait, where did this samurai come from? And how is Atlantis involved? So much for midterms, because Rekka’s about to dive deep on this one!Â

It’s fall, which means it’s time for Mitsuhashi High’s annual school festival! Things are special this year because it’s being hosted in conjunction with Hibiki’s school, which means extra fun... and extra work. President Momone ropes Rekka into helping with the festival preparations, which turns out to be more than he bargained for when they get sucked into a video game world. Then there’s the bomb threat, the duel, and... Only one thing is for certain—this is going to be a festival to remember!

Rekka is now officially caught up in his grandest, most dangerous story yet— this time it’s his job to help save the future that he screwed up. The first step to doing that, as far as he’s concerned, is rescuing the kidnapped heroines. But that’s going to be a little trickier than imagined, because the heroines in the future aren’t exactly the ones he’s used to. Can he save them all while managing to keep himself in check? The dangers increase by the moment as intrigue looms on the horizon.

When a midsummer heatwave rolls in, Rekka invites all of the heroines to the pool. But instead of cooling off, they find themselves in a heated contest for his attention! After that, Rekka's invited to stay at school overnight with the light literature club. It's all fun and games until he ends up getting involved in a supernatural turf war. Things finish off with a festival fireworks show in this summer-packed volume! But what's this about a special mission for R...?

Rekka finds himself in another complicated situation when four new heroines need his help. Mio Kotozuka is a beloved pop star who’s had a very unusual encounter with a strange fan. Ellicia Otto, an orphan turned thief thanks to a peculiar power she has, is on the run from a powerful group of psychics after learning a dark secret. Zaia Gardendos Corona is an unlucky hero in need of some rescuing herself. And Lyun Sylpheed is a wind spirit who’s been driven from her home after a zombie-like epidemic sweeps the land. Rekka, meanwhile, is still just your average high school boy, but he’s going to have to figure out a way to save them all!

After everything Rekka and the girls have been through and with summer fast approaching, Iris thinks its time for a beach vacation. And not just any beach vacation, mind you. An intergalactic one that will take them to a bright blue planet of endless oceans and perpetual summer. But the waters--and the secrets--run deep here on Berano. After a group of space pirates shows up to crash their vacation, Rekka will find himself wrapped up in a conspiracy involving the treasure of a mermaid princess.

Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis. Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
