May just wants a normal high school life-homework, hanging out with friends, maybe a little teenage drama here and there. What she doesn't want is her mom, Opal, tagging along and constantly being mistaken for her sister. It's not that Opal is embarrassing (well, okay, sometimes), it's that she looks exactly May's age. With her bright blue hair, bubbly personality, and wardrobe that sparkles like the night sky, Opal stands out everywhere she goes-while May, with her darker, edgier style, would much prefer to blend into the background.
Their mother-daughter dynamic is a recipe for chaos: Opal insists on helping May with school projects, shopping trips, and even love life advice, while May just wants to prove she's the responsible one. From hilarious misunderstandings at the grocery store ("Wait-you're the mom?!") to awkward parent-teacher conferences where nobody believes Opal isn't a transfer student, the two navigate daily life balancing their clashing personalities.
A heartwarming slice-of-life comedy about growing up, standing out, and learning that sometimes the most unconventional family bonds shine the brightest-Stars and Shadows follows May and Opal as they discover that being mistaken for sisters might not be such a bad thing after all.

Saito Okuzaki is a 15 year old chuunibyou that's now starting his new journey called high school. His dream is to be the perfect shadow hero. He thought of high school being exciting for the reason of "in anime, exciting stuff usually happens in high school". However, everyone avoids him as much as possible.

They must be scared of my power Ku ha ha ha ha"*evil laugh* [rightn't] "I mean who wouldn't be afraid of me, Phantom ku ha ha ha" Without realizing it or being aware of it, he became the class outcast. However, his sister "Ayaka" caught on with what's happening. When Saito was telling a story, she took her chance. "How can I improve being my shadow hero?"

I think you entered the wrong classroom" "No, I don't think I have" He pointed his finger at his face. "It's me... Saito Okuzaki" "Whaaaaattttt!!!!!!!!??....."

Not being aware of his surrounding from being blinded by his delusions. Maidens started falling for him. A/n: Some chapters are misplaced for some reason so beware.Complete
Wages of Magic
Millinggarde University was supposed to forge legends-heroes, sages, revolutionaries. Instead, it left Phal, a jaded dropout with too much education for a cashier gig at Grease Oracle, and Parona, a chain-smoking angel hybrid with the emotional warmth of a guillotine. Both were once destined for greatness; now they rent a rotting apartment where the walls shed paint faster than they pay rent. When odd jobs begin trickling in-from cranky old ladies plagued by pig-riding trolls to midnight exorcisms that feel more like customer service calls-Phal and Parona stumble into a freelance monster-fighting hustle. They're good at it, but not too good, which is why the pay barely covers cold pizza and off-brand beer. What begins as a string of bizarre gigs slowly unravels into something much bigger: a city simmering with corruption, magical gangs drawing crude graffiti as warnings, and enemies from the mythical realm who never really went away. Along the way, the duo insult their clients, bicker over split payments, and spiral into unexpectedly philosophical late-night debates about wasted potential, parental disappointment, and what it actually means to "make it" in a world that doesn't care if you're half-divine or just half-broke. Equal parts absurd comedy and dark slice-of-life, this is the story of two misfits trying to carve out purpose in the wreckage of failed destinies-armed with sarcasm, cigarettes, and just enough power to keep the lights (barely) on.
Raising Daylight
Ren was never meant to be ordinary. Crimson eyes, sharp fangs, and an inconvenient craving for blood tend to make "blending in" a lost cause. But ordinary was never the goal-surviving, thriving, and maybe even enjoying life? That's another story. Between awkward breakfasts, hushed rumors, and a world that doesn't quite know what to make of him, Ren's doing his best to stay afloat. Unfortunately, his best tends to attract magic, monsters, and the kind of school drama that could send even the bravest student running for the hills. He'll laugh, stumble, and probably cause a bit of chaos along the way-but this isn't just about pranks or being the resident oddball. Growing up comes with sharper lessons than fangs, and Ren's about to learn how deep those teeth can cut. Because in the end, If you dont look too close, it can still be a shooting star.![I'm Just A Chuunibyou: Why Are Maidens Falling For Me?
