High schoolers Tooru, Makiko and Shizuka all have past memories of reigning as the Three Great Demon Kings of another world in their previous lives. All three were brutally killed by a hero. The three of them established a ‘Past Life Confession Club’ in high school and spent their time reminiscing and talking about their painful past lives together as well as doing their best to get through high school safely. One day, however, a new teacher arrived at the school and set off a dangerous flag: [Your battle is about to begin] This is a story about the displacement and loneliness of three people who reincarnated once again into their own world, 2000 years after their first death. They started their 3rd lives with their memories from both lives intact. Here, in this new yet old world, they would rise to become Demon Kings once more. How would their new lives be like as they repent, reflect and meet each other once more, all the while running away from the Hero’s shadow? The setting of this world is based on the original draft of ‘Asakusa Demon Bride’s Diary’ and ‘Tales of Reincarnations in Maydare’. However, please note that this is a completely different story.

“Sorry, I’m going out with my friends today.” This was what Tendou Susumu, the popular protagonist, told the girls. That voice woke up something in me, Jimichi Ikuto, someone who was simply leading an ordinary life, and spurned me to action. I got my hair done and dyed it a bit, switched from glasses to contacts, then finally made the most out of my parent’s connections. I, who had changed a lot in both appearance and personality, had gathered people around me. However, I wasn’t interested in them at all. What caught my attention more were the four female students that surrounded Susumu Tendou. Although apparently, all of them took a liking to Tendou. But you, why the hell are you like that? If you just kept your mouth shut and had let the things stay as it was, it would be a normal, happy ending. Ah, you were the one at fault, weren’t you? Those girls came to me because you kept on making choices like that. This was the first time I had come this far…hmm? What was I talking about? I didn’t even know anymore. But for some reason, I just felt compelled to say this. “Welcome, to the Bad End Route.”

It has been a long time since another world has become a familiar presence. By turning on the switch of the mobile terminal “Gear” that is given at the same time as becoming a high school student, it has become an era where you can spend a day in a different world instead of dreaming that day. The main character, Toru Fujima, who is a twisted shady guy, gains aptitude for summoning magic, but there are no essential monsters to summon. While unavoidably earning a living by collecting, he comes into contact with a group of Paripi (party people) in his class and encounters a girl who is being treated as coldly as he is. Little does Toru know that this is the beginning of everything. ————————————————————————————————————— In an era where people can freely travel between other worlds and reality like a video game, Tooru Fujima is an introverted guy in high school who thinks of extroverts as his enemies, and considers a confession of love from a girl to be a punishment. “I can only depend on myself.” With this in mind, Tooru had decided to start making a living as a summoner in another world, but monsters are needed for summoning magic to work… And since there are none, he’s been living day-to-day, making some income by harvesting medicinal herbs and such. Back in the real world, Tooru goes his own way, ignoring the advances and confessions of love from beautiful girls. But one day, he meets a penniless girl who’s good at wandering the streets… And they end up living together, becoming partners, and even getting married?! Source: HobbyJapan

I woke up to my twin younger sister lying besides me. She was a famous beauty in out school, unlike the ordinary me. Though the true personality of this perfect girl was somebody who was especially a selfish, although she only ever showed it to me. Although we never got along it was really weird to see her be anywhere close to me. She then opened her eyes, smiled at me and said. “Good morning, Onee-chan.” Eh? I was suppose to be an Onii-chan and somehow became a Onee-chan. I was a plain older brother and now I became a plain older sister. I would have preferred if I somehow got transformed into a woman, I would at least be beautiful, but I guess life isn’t that convenient. Anyhow, my sister is considered one of the two most beautiful girls in school, and now she is always fighting with the other most beautiful girl. The reason? It’s over me. I don’t know why but for some reason I am in the middle of this. So hold on me, I won’t be defeated. But if anybody could help, please save me.

End of the third year of junior high school, I. Sakurai Kirito confessed to my childhood friend, Minamino Rinne, whom I had had a crush on for ten years. The odds are more than good enough. I thought so, but… “I’ve never seen you as a man, it’s impossible!” I was completely rejected. With a broken heart, I went to school alone for the first time in ten years, and found a girl I had saved from bullies in elementary school. I found Kitajima Towa right in front of me. She looked at me, tears streaming down her face, and told me she had been thinking about me all this time. And, “Kitajima Towa loves Sakurai Kirito kun with all my heart. Please make me your girlfriend.” She confesses to me and hugs me. I am confused by this sudden event. As if to chase after me, she “Wha-wha-wha….. what are you doing ……?” “……………… Rinne, what are you doing here?” The one who saw the scene was my childhood friend who I left behind, who was supposed to be bad at mornings.

“Andou-kun, good morning ♪” “Asakura-san, mornin’…” (I got the seat next to the most beautiful girl in the school. A person who is willing to greet a loner like me, what a kind person she is. But in any case it’s just lip service, she’ll probably find me a bother if I start talking to her ) “…” “…” (Even though I tried to greet him, why won’t he talk to meeee!! I can’t talk about light novels to anyone besides Andou-kun, so please talk to meeee!!) This is that sort of school rom-com. Since each chapter can be read in about one minute, how about using it to take a breather from “other world things”?
