Whether it`s falling into water, doors ripping off clothing, or that frequent staple of Japanese school life, the accidental breast/face collision, these poor ladies just can`t help it. And what are the guys supposed to do as they`re pulled deeper and deeper into titillating TILF traps of epic proportions? It`s time to come and learn in WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE, TEACHER!?

To pay off the bills, Misaki`s taken a job on the side, but it`s one that no one at school can ever find out about. It would just be too humiliating for her classmates to learn that she`s secretly a... gasp!... waitress at a maid café! And, of course, when someone does discover her double life, it`s the worst possible person: her aloof and much too handsome classmate, Usui Takumi. Can Misaki convince Usui to keep her apron in the closet? And what is his silence going to cost her? Now that her Maid life has been made, there`s a Devil to be paid in MAID SAMA!

VAMPIRE HUNTER D STEELBOOK Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 80 min. Street Date: 5/12/2020 Format: BD Language: English & Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $69.98 For 10,000 years, Count Magnus Lee has walked the night, sustained by an unholy thirst for blood and an unending lust for human women. But when he tastes the sweet nectar running through Doris Lang`s veins, the Count knows he has found more than his next meal: this is the woman he intends to claim as his next vampire bride. As the daughter of a werewolf hunter, however, Doris Lang is less than willing to step into the thrall of evil. And if she is unable to defend herself from the Count`s nightmarish powers, she is fortunate enough to have found someone who can: the Vampire Hunter known as D. But D is no ordinary man, and signing up for his protection may carry a price of its own. Driven by the art of acclaimed designer Yoshitaka Amano (FINAL FANTASY I - VI, the Hugo nominated Neil Gaiman`s Sandman: The Dream Hunters), this is the epic animated fantasy that spawned multiple sequels and helped launch the anime revolution. Remastered in high-definition from the original elements and upgraded audio tracks, it`s the legendary classic as you`ve never seen it before in VAMPIRE HUNTER D!

SENRYU GIRL Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 180 min. Street Date: 5/19/2020 Format: BD Language: English & Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $49.98 Eiji Busujima was a delinquent in middle school, but now that he`s in high school, he`s trying to put all that behind him. He`s even joined the literature club! Unfortunately, while Eiji`s heart might be in the right place, his face didn`t get the memo, and if his scowling, slit-like eyes don`t scare people away, then his attempts at senryu poetry probably will. But there`s one member of the literature club who isn`t easily intimidated: Nanako Yukishiro, an odd but cheerful young woman who never speaks and communicates only through senryu poetry! So, when the meddling president of the club decides to encourage a relationship between this strange literary pair, the haiku is sure to fly! The most important words are left unsaid when an ex-delinquent becomes the target of a write-by romance from a SENRYU GIRL!

RUN WITH THE WIND Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 575 min. Street Date: 5/26/2020 Format: BD Language: English & Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $89.98 Kakeru Kurahara was a track star in high school, but after losing his money gambling, the only running he`s doing is fleeing after shoplifting food. Then Kakeru`s escape route crosses paths with Haiji Kiyose, and he gets a chance to change his life`s direction. A fourth-year college student, Haiji has dreamed of entering the famous Hakone Ekidan relay marathon, but he`s been one runner short of a potential team... until he sees Kakeru blow past him like the wind and knows he`s found his critical tenth man. Of course, it won`t be easy convincing Kakeru to join, and the rest of the team includes such questionable choices as a chronic smoker and an underweight otaku, but they`ve all got legs and Haiji will make sure they learn how to use them to RUN WITH THE WIND!
