Office worker Azusa ends up dying from over-working herself and is reincarnated as an immortal witch with a big hat. Wanting to take it easy, she limits herself to killing 25 slimes a day for basic income and keeps to herself. Unfortunately, her quiet life is disturbed by all manner of fantastic denizens when it becomes known that she's hit the level cap. Now her house is brimming with noise, but maybe that's ok. Also featuring: Fire Punch.

The Aniki brothers go back to the office for some good old fashioned romantic comedy with My Senpai is Annoying. Short and petite, Futaba is a 23 year old second year salesman at a trading company, working with Takeda, her bear-of-a-man senpai. While she refuses to admit it, she devlops feelings for him that go beyond spreadsheets. Meanwhile, the very attractive Sakurai has the eye of every man in the office, but she only has feelings for the quiet Kazuma with mean looking eyes. Who will hold hands first? When will there be kisses? Also featuring: Wixoss

Aniki gets back into the game of love with the second season of the hit comedy drama Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2. The new season means a new school year and all new comedy. It also introduces a new character as Miyuki Shirogane's rival for the student council presidency, Miko Iino, who's sole desire is to see that rules are followed to the letter. In addition, Ishigami's backstory is revealed to sound of manly tears. Plus all the silliness you've come to expect from Kaguya-sama.
