Shinjurou Yuuki should be known as one of the greatest detectives of all time. Instead, he lives in a dystopian future where the job of solving Japan’s crime usually falls to a techno-wizard and a nationwide network of wiretaps, cameras, and super-computers.
This leads many to consider human detectives flawed and obsolete, but the dirty truth is that computerized detective work is highly subject to data manipulation, so even the police must sometimes turn to private investigator Shinjurou and his shapeshifting assistant Inga.
Of course, unearthing those buried secrets can put a huge target on their backs, but that’s all part of the job in UN-GO!

Even though the world’s spy schools comb the planet for the top prospective new talent, every so often they pick some girls who don’t quite make the grade.

Or will they end up passing on in an unfortunately fatal final exam?
Get ready for superspies, stupor-ed spies, and spy-jinks galore as espionage and education collide violently head-on in the first two explosive series of SPY CLASSROOM!

He seems overqualified for flipping burgers, but then destiny calls in the entrancing voice of aspiring singer Eiko Tsukimi. Learning of her troubles in becoming a professional, Kongming’s quest is secured: applying his formidable craft, intellect, and bag of ancient Chinese secrets to the task of making Eiko a star!
