    Narumi Fujishima has never fit in with his classmates.  Joining the gardening club didn't make him Mr. Popularity, as there was only one other member… but when he's introduced to a reclusive girl who lives above the ramen shop, Narumi's whole life changes radically. 

    That's because while Alice may be a NEET (someone who is Not Employed, being Educated or in Training,) that doesn't mean that she does nothing all day. Quite the contrary.  Besides collecting stuffed bears, Alice is an expert hacker and runs a secret detective service utilizing the talents of her other NEET acquaintances! 

    To his surprise, and great personal peril, Narumi quickly finds himself drafted into this strange, elite team, and now his life is anything but boring as the NEETs take on a deadly new drug hitting the streets in HEAVEN'S MEMO PAD!

    60 years ago, a young woman was left to die in the abandoned original school building behind the exclusive Seikyou Academy, so it's only natural that Seikyou is rumored to be haunted.  Nor is it surprising that the school's many clubs include one for students interested in "paranormal investigations." What is shocking, however, is that the founder of that club is the ghost herself! 

    Unable to remember how she died, Yuko's spirit has been bound to the school for decades, but when a new freshman, Teiichi Niiya, turns out to actually be able to see her, she may finally be able to unravel the mystery of her gruesome death! 

    But will that free her? Or will her sudden close association with a mortal have even stranger repercussions on both of their fates?  The answers await in the DUSK MAIDEN OF AMNESIA.
