Uryuu Kamihate is a studious high schooler with one goal: get into Kyoto University's prestigious medical program. After growing up in an orphanage and losing his mother, he’s emotionally closed off and skeptical of anything spiritual. All he wants is a quiet place to study. That’s when he’s invited to live at the Amagami Shrine, a sacred place run by the head priest Chidori Amagami. But there’s a catch—Uryuu must marry one of Chidori’s three granddaughters: Yae, Yuna, or Asahi, all shrine maidens with wildly different personalities. The marriage isn’t just about love—it’s about preserving the shrine’s legacy and spiritual lineage. Uryuu is adamantly against the idea. He doesn’t believe in fate, romance, or divine matchmaking. Yet, as he lives alongside the sisters, he begins to confront his emotional walls, his past trauma, and the possibility that maybe—just maybe—there’s more to life than studying and solitude. Flash-forwards hint that he will eventually marry one of the sisters, but the journey is filled with comedic chaos, tender moments, and spiritual undertones that challenge his worldview.

A 34-year-old shut-in (NEET) dies after saving a group of teens from a speeding truck. But death isn’t the end—he awakens as a baby in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and medieval kingdoms. Retaining all his memories, he vows to live this new life to the fullest, free of the regrets that haunted his previous existence. Reborn as Rudeus Greyrat, he quickly shows an extraordinary aptitude for magic. His parents, Paul and Zenith, hire the mage Roxy Migurdia to train him, and from there, Rudeus begins a journey of self-discovery. He meets friends, mentors, and rivals, each shaping his path—from the shy Sylphiette to the fiery Eris Boreas Greyrat, with whom he shares a turbulent but transformative relationship. But the world isn’t safe. A mysterious teleportation disaster scatters people across the globe, forcing Rudeus into survival mode. As he matures, he confronts trauma, love, loss, and the consequences of his choices. The story spans years, evolving from childhood innocence to adult complexity, with Rudeus striving to become someone worthy of the second chance he’s been given.

Futaro Uesugi, a brilliant but broke high school student, is hired to tutor five sisters from the wealthy Nakano family. The catch? They’re quintuplets—Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki—and they all have terrible grades and zero interest in studying. Initially, Futaro clashes with the girls, each of whom has a distinct personality and their own reasons for resisting his help. But as he earns their trust, he becomes entangled in their lives, helping them grow academically and emotionally. Over time, romantic tension builds, and the series teases a future wedding—where one of the quintuplets will become Futaro’s bride. The story unfolds through school events, family drama, and personal revelations, with each sister getting her moment in the spotlight. The mystery of “who he marries” drives the narrative, but the real heart lies in how each character matures and how Futaro learns to connect beyond academics.

Set in the seemingly peaceful village of Hinamizawa in June 1983, the story follows Keiichi Maebara, a newcomer who quickly befriends a lively group of classmates: Rena, Mion, Satoko, and Rika. But beneath the cheerful surface lies a dark legacy—each year during the village’s Watanagashi Festival, someone dies and another disappears, rumored to be the curse of the local deity, Oyashiro-sama. As Keiichi begins to notice strange behavior and inconsistencies among his friends, paranoia sets in. The story then fractures into multiple arcs—each a time loop where events reset after tragedy strikes. These arcs explore different perspectives, outcomes, and truths, gradually revealing the existence of the Hinamizawa Syndrome, a neurological disease that causes hallucinations, paranoia, and violence. The central mystery revolves around Rika Furude, the shrine maiden who is aware of the loops and desperately seeks a way to break the cycle. With the help of a mysterious entity named Hanyuu, Rika tries to uncover the true cause of the tragedies and confront the hidden puppet masters behind the village’s fate.

After a decade-long quest, the legendary Hero Party—Frieren the elven mage, Himmel the human hero, Heiter the priest, and Eisen the warrior—defeats the Demon King and brings peace to the land. As the world celebrates, Frieren, whose long lifespan makes human years feel fleeting, parts ways with her companions to continue studying magic. Fifty years later, she returns to find her friends aged or gone. Himmel dies shortly after their reunion, and Frieren is struck by regret—realizing she never truly understood the depth of their bond. This moment catalyzes her new journey: not to fight monsters, but to explore the meaning of connection, memory, and humanity. She takes on an apprentice, Fern, and later teams up with Stark, a warrior with ties to her past. Together, they retrace the steps of the original Hero Party, visiting old battlegrounds and towns, uncovering magical secrets, and slowly unraveling Frieren’s emotional detachment. Through quiet moments and subtle growth, Frieren begins to grasp what it means to live—not just exist. Season 2 is set to be relased in January of 2026 here is the trailer for that!

The story centers on Jinta Yadomi, a withdrawn teenager who once led a close-knit group of childhood friends. Their bond shattered after the tragic death of Meiko "Menma" Honma, one of their members. Years later, Jinta begins seeing Menma’s ghost—cheerful and unchanged—who tells him she has a wish that must be fulfilled before she can move on. The catch? She doesn’t remember what the wish was. To help Menma find peace, Jinta reconnects with the estranged friends from their old group: Anaru, Yukiatsu, Tsuruko, and Poppo. Each carries their own guilt, unresolved feelings, and emotional scars from Menma’s death. As they confront their past and rediscover their bond, they begin to heal—not just for Menma, but for themselves.

The story follows a quiet, introverted high school boy who stumbles upon a diary in a hospital waiting room. It belongs to his vibrant and popular classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, who reveals through its pages that she’s suffering from a terminal pancreatic illness. Rather than retreating into despair, Sakura chooses to live her remaining days to the fullest—and she invites him to join her. As they spend time together, their bond deepens. Sakura’s zest for life begins to thaw his emotional distance, and he learns to embrace vulnerability, friendship, and the bittersweet beauty of fleeting moments. The title, while jarring, is symbolic—rooted in a Japanese belief that eating an organ might heal the same organ in your own body. It becomes a metaphor for wanting to understand, connect with, and cherish someone completely.
