Later, in the distance, he sees an extremely large monster but it doesn't move. It's only when Yuta gets to school that the two sightings make sense: a monster attacks and the hero Yuta saw in the computer screen pulls him within the computer and transforms Yuta into a giant hero named Gridman.

Shojo

**Shojo** is an anime/manga demographic aimed towards a teen/pre teen female audience. Majority of Shojo series is mostly associated with a visual and storytelling style rather than with a demographic. Usually shōjo animes and mangas traditionally tend to have a strong focus on relationships and character development. Shojo has a big fanbase especially with big animes like Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket and Ouran Highschool Hostclub.

## History

Shojo genre had existed for many years, but the one that started it all was Mahōtsukai Sarī the creator who first created a Shojo anime series Sally the Witch in 1966. In which the show premiered in Japan on NET TV. In May 1967, shōjo manga began being published in tankōbon format.

Between around 1969 and 1971,a flood of young female manga artists transformed the genre again. Some, including Moto Hagio, Yumiko Ōshima, and Keiko Takemiya, became known as the Year 24 Group (24年組, *Nijūyo-nen Gumi*), or the Fabulous Year 24 Group (花の24年組, *Hana no Nijūyo-nen Gumi*), so named from the approximate year of birth many of them shared: Shōwa 24, or 1949. This loosely defined group experimented with content and form, inventing such subgenres such as *shōnen-ai* (boys' love), and earning the long-maligned *shōjo* manga unprecedented critical praise. Other female artists of the same generation, such as Riyoko Ikeda, Yukari Ichijo, and Sumika Yamamoto, garnered unprecedented popular support with such hits (respectively) as *The Rose of Versailles* (ベルサイユのばら, *Berusaiyu no Bara*), *Designer* (デザイナー, *Dezainaa*), and *Aim for the Ace!* (エースをねらえ!, *Ēsu o Nerae!*).[*volume & issue needed*] During that era, women's roles in Japanese society were changing, and women were being elected to the National Diet, and publishers responded by employing more female talent. Since the mid-1970s, women have created the vast majority of *shōjo* manga; notable exceptions include Mineo Maya and Shinji Wada.

From 1975, *shōjo* manga continued to develop stylistically while simultaneously branching out into different but overlapping subgenres. Meiji University professor Yukari Fujimoto writes that during the 1990s, *shōjo* manga became concerned with self-fulfillment. She intimates that the 1990–1991 Gulf War influenced the development of female characters "who fight to protect the destiny of a community", such as *Red River*, *Basara*, *Magic Knight Rayearth*, and *Sailor Moon*. Fujimoto opines that the *shōjo* manga of the 1990s depicted emotional bonds between women as stronger than the bonds between a man and a woman.

The Heroic Legend of Arslan

***The Heroic Legend of Arslan*** (Japanese: アルスラーン戦記, Hepburn: *Arusurān Senki*, lit. *Arslan War Record(s)*) is a Japanese fantasy novel series written by Yoshiki Tanaka. It was first published in 1986 and ended in 2017 with sixteen novels and one side-story in the official guidebook *Arslan Senki Dokuhon*. Set in ancient Persia, it is loosely based on the Persian epic of *Amir Arsalan*.

It was adapted into a manga, which caught up with the novel and then received an original ending, and ran from November 1991 to September 1996. It also received a six-part, unfinished anime OVA adaptation. In 2013, a second manga adaptation started serializing at *Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine*, with illustrations by Hiromu Arakawa. In 2015, it was adapted into an anime television series, which covered Tanaka's first 4 novels, and was based on Arakawa's manga art style and character designs. A second season, based on novels 5 and 6, aired in 2016.

The anime caught up with the second manga after only 3 volumes (covering the first novel) had been published, meaning the majority of Season 1 and all of Season 2 adapted the original novels before the manga did. Ever since Season 1 Episode 11, the anime's director Noriyuki Abe, together with script writer and series composer Makoto Uezu, started making their own adaptation of Tanaka's novels, and so deviated from the second manga's later, more faithful adaptation.

## Synopsis

### Season 1:

The mangas story: In the prosperous kingdom of Pars lies the Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a city of splendor and wonder, ruled by the undefeated and fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan is the young and curious prince of Pars who, despite his best efforts, doesn't seem to have what it takes to be a proper king like his father.

At the age of 14, Arslan goes to his first battle and loses everything as the blood-soaked mist of war gives way to scorching flames, bringing him to face the demise of his once glorious kingdom. However, it is Arslan's destiny to be a ruler, and despite the trials that face him, he must now embark on a journey to reclaim his fallen kingdom.

### Season 2:

After managing to get past the battles concerning the royal successor for Sindhura, Arslan and company made their triumphal return to Pars to find Hilmes the brave general with the silver mask standing in their way. And by the time they somehow get Hilmes to stand down and they can be on their way to thee capital once again, an even larger threat was fast approaching the land of Pars.

The four heroes are respectively bestowed a sword, spear, bow, and shield to vanquish these Waves. Naofumi Iwatani, an otaku, becomes cursed with the fate of being the "Shield Hero." Armed with only a measly shield, Naofumi is belittled and ridiculed by his fellow heroes and the kingdom's people due to his weak offensive capabilities and lackluster personality.

When the heroes are provided with resources and comrades to train with, Naofumi sets out with the only person willing to train alongside him, Malty Melromarc. He is soon betrayed by her, however, and becomes falsely accused of taking advantage of her. Naofumi then becomes heavily discriminated against and hated by the people of Melromarc for something he didn't do. With a raging storm of hurt and mistrust in his heart, Naofumi begins his journey of strengthening himself and his reputation. Further along however, the difficulty of being on his own sets in, so Naofumi buys a demi-human slave on the verge of death named Raphtalia to accompany him on his travels.

As the Waves approach the kingdom, Naofumi and Raphtalia must fight for the survival of the kingdom and protect the people of Melromarc from their ill-fated future.

Recovering from her wounds, Violet starts a new life working at CH Postal Services after a falling out with her new intended guardian family.

Standard Equipment

## Summary

**Standard Equipment** refers to a set of items that a character can be expected to have on hand at any time. When listing a character's Standard Equipment please consider the following guidelines:

* Equipment listed as standard should be equipment the character has access to in a majority of their canon appearances. This is not to be confused with **Optional Equipment**, which can encompass anything that the character has owned or made use of for an extended period of time, regardless of whether or not it's usually on their person.

* If a character lacks a canonical set of equipment, their profile should make note of this. Examples of such characters would be player customizable RPG characters such as Chosen Undead, profiles detailing a type of being as opposed to an individual character like that of the Adeptus Astartes. Such characters should have their items all listed as optional, and people who wish to use them in versus threads should preferably specify what items shall be made available to them.

* For important/relevant things that a character doesn't have equipped, but instead creates or summons, indicate after the initial list that the character "Can Create/Summon:", and insert then a list of the things in question.

There is a tower that summons chosen people called "Regulars" with the promise of granting their deepest desires. Whether it be wealth, fame, authority, or something that surpasses them all—everything awaits those who reach the top.

Twenty-Fifth Bam is a boy who had only known a dark cave, a dirty cloth, and an unreachable light his entire life. So when a girl named Rachel came to him through the light, his entire world changed. Becoming close friends with Rachel, he learned various things about the outside world from her. But when Rachel says she must leave him to climb the Tower, his world shatters around him. Vowing to follow after her no matter what it takes, he sets his sight on the tower, and a miracle occurs.

Thus begins the journey of Bam, a young boy who was not chosen by the Tower but opened its gates by himself. They call his kind "Irregulars"—beings that have shaken the very foundation of the Tower each time they set foot inside it.

Vinland Saga

*Vinland Saga* is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yukimura Makoto. Originally **Vinland Saga** started in the 20th Issue of *Weekly Shonen Magazine* in April, 2005. But since the author wasn't able to keep up with the weekly schedule, after the 16th chapter released in the 45th Issue in October, the manga was moved to the monthly magazine *Afternoon*, starting in 2006-02 Issue in December 2005. The first 2 volumes containing the first 16 chapters were released under *Weekly Shonen Magazine*, but later after the manga changed magazines, they were also re-released under *Afternoon* imprint, having different covers and some additional extra pages.

## Synopsis

Young Thorfinn grew up listening to the stories of old sailors that had traveled the ocean and reached the place of legend, Vinland. It's said to be warm and fertile, a place where there would be no need for fighting—not at all like the frozen village in Iceland where he was born, and certainly not like his current life as a mercenary. War is his home now. Though his father once told him, "You have no enemies, nobody does. There is nobody who it's okay to hurt," as he grew, Thorfinn knew that nothing was further from the truth.

The war between England and the Danes grows worse with each passing year. Death has become commonplace, and the viking mercenaries are loving every moment of it. Allying with either side will cause a massive swing in the balance of power, and the vikings are happy to make names for themselves and take any spoils they earn along the way. Among the chaos, Thorfinn must take his revenge and kill Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. The only paradise for the vikings, it seems, is the era of war and death that rages on.

***7 Seeds*** (Japanese: セブンシーズ, Hepburn: *Sebun Shīzu*) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yumi Tamura. It is set in a post-apocalyptic future, long enough after a meteorite hits Earth that new species have evolved, and follows the struggles of five groups of young adults to survive after they are revived from cryonic preservation. The title comes from five groups of individuals in cryogenic chambers along with supplies, called "seeds", laid down by the Japanese government.

The manga was originally serialized in Shogakukan's *Bessatsu Shōjo Comic* magazine, premiering in the November 2001 issue; it transferred to *Flowers* magazine in April 2002, where it ran until its conclusion in May 2017. Shogakukan collected the individual chapters into 35 bound volumes. The series won the 52nd Shogakukan Manga Award for Best *Shōjo* Manga in 2007. Including digital sales, it has sold more than 6 million copies in Japan.

An original net animation (ONA) anime adaptation, produced by Gonzo and directed by Yukio Takahashi, was announced in November 2018. The first season was released worldwide on Netflix in June 2019. A second season produced by Studio Kai premiered on 26 March 2020.

## Synopsis

Scientists had predicted this disaster, and in response, the leaders of every country met to develop a plan for human survival before the meteor hit. The Seven Seeds project was developed out of this meeting. Each country froze a number of young healthy people, which allowed them to survive the meteor. After the computer determined that Earth was once again safe for human life, it released them into the world.

The Japanese government created five groups of survivors: Winter group, Spring group, Summer group A, Summer group B, and Fall group. Each group consisted of seven members and one guide. The guide carried small tubes of poison on their necks to allow them to end their lives if their situation became unbearable. The Japanese government prepared seven "Fuji" as refuges for the groups. In each Fuji, the group would find seeds and numerous books instructing them on survival in the wilderness.

Lain Iwakura, an awkward and introverted fourteen-year-old, is one of the many girls from her school to receive a disturbing email from her classmate Chisa Yomoda—the very same Chisa who recently committed suicide. Lain has neither the desire nor the experience to handle even basic technology; yet, when the technophobe opens the email, it leads her straight into the Wired, a virtual world of communication networks similar to what we know as the internet. Lain's life is turned upside down as she begins to encounter cryptic mysteries one after another. Strange men called the Men in Black begin to appear wherever she goes, asking her questions and somehow knowing more about her than even she herself knows. With the boundaries between reality and cyberspace rapidly blurring, Lain is plunged into more surreal and bizarre events where identity, consciousness, and perception are concepts that take on new meanings.

Written by Chiaki J. Konaka, whose other works include *Texhnolyze*, *Serial Experiments Lain* is a psychological avant-garde mystery series that follows Lain as she makes crucial choices that will affect both the real world and the Wired. In closing one world and opening another, only Lain will realize the significance of their presence.
