Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) - Anime

It is said that if someone seeks revenge, they should dig two graves—and this is especially true of those who use the Hell Correspondence website. At the stroke of midnight, this ominous web domain becomes accessible, and whoever inputs the name of their grudge will get a visit from Ai Enma, the Hell Girl. Ai explains that she will send the target's soul to hell, but the requester will also end up in hell when they die.

For some, that price is far too steep; for others, where they will spend their afterlife has no bearing on their current, day-to-day hell. But one thing is certain: the Hell Girl will always be available to those in need of revenge, while she stoically performs her duty of ferrying souls into the darkness.

Lock On! - Manga

Utsuru Sanada is a professional photographer at the age of 17, he can guess the exact 3 sizes of any girl, he can memorize anything he sees, and he can counterattack karate moves (Most guys would want these abilities). Why? Because he has superb photographic memory called “Shutter Eye” (Shutter as in the shutter of a camera). He meets Niko Kurihara, the female protagonist, who dislikes men, is a master of martial arts, and is of course beautiful. Utsuru attempts to prove to Niko that he is not the guy she thinks he so he can take a picture of her.

Outlaw Star

Welcome to outer space: the Wild West of the future. In this future universe (year 0158 on the Toward Stars Calendar), there are three kinds of people. First are the Space Forces. They are the law in the galaxy that strive to maintain peace and order. Second are the Pirate Guilds. These ruthless bands rob and plunder at will, flying in the face of the law and leaving chaos in their wake.

In between are the Outlaws. They are the free spirits of space. They go where they want, do what they want, and answer to no one but themselves.

This is the story of three significant points of interest: Gene Starwind, a carefree man who will do anything for the good life; the XGP15A-II (re-christened the Outlaw Star), a state-of-the-art grappler ship that happens to come into Gene's possession; and the Galactic Leyline, a supposed treasure trove that everyone seeks...and the Outlaw Star is destined to seek out.

Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop) - Anime

Daikichi Kawachi is a 30-year-old bachelor working a respectable job but otherwise wandering aimlessly through life. When his grandfather suddenly passes away, he returns to the family home to pay his respects. Upon arriving at the house, he meets a mysterious young girl named Rin who, to Daikichi’s astonishment, is his grandfather's illegitimate daughter!

The shy and unapproachable girl is deemed an embarrassment to the family, and finds herself ostracized by her father's relatives, all of them refusing to take care of her in the wake of his death. Daikichi, angered by their coldness towards Rin, announces that he will take her in—despite the fact that he is a young, single man with no prior childcare experience.

Usagi Drop is the story of Daikichi's journey through fatherhood as he raises Rin with his gentle and affectionate nature, as well as an exploration of the warmth and interdependence that are at the heart of a happy, close-knit family.
