Cover of Platinum End volume 1. Mirai has his hoodie up around his red hair. He has the red ring running around his neck indicating he has been blessed, and his wings extend behind his back. He's smirking at us from under his hoodie's hood.
Illustrated by Takeshi Obata

Mirai is unsatisfied with his life, as he is treated like a slave in his home and feels like he has no escape. He decides suicide is his only option. Upon leaping to his death, he is saved by an angel that gives him the choice to accept powers. In doing so, he is unwittingly thrust into a battle against 12 other humans who have also been chosen, and the prize at the end is ascension to become God of the world. For the most part, Mirai tries to keep out of the way of these other candidates, but trouble comes to find him sooner than he would like.

Cover of The Yearning Fox Lies in Wait. Ozaki is lying in some white flowerws with Kiyo snuggling on top of him. Ozaki is in a grey kimono and Kiyo is in his black university uniform.
Kiyo has spent his entire life studying, and he is finally on his way to a prestigious university in Tokyo. But, he's lost. As he sits for a moment trying to compose himself, a dashing man exits and inquires why he has been pacing around his house. Rather than be mad or make fun of his predicament, Ozaki offers Kiyo room and board if he will help take care of his enormous house! It doesn't take long for Kiyo to figure out something is up with his strange new master, other than offering young men a place to stay. Ozaki is actually a fox spirit, and he supposedly hates all humans, except for Kiyo's grandfather, who he had a connection with and offered Kiyo this arrangement as a means to repay the family debt.

Orphan Kotarou has just moved back into his grandparents’ home outside the Takao region as he has inherited it, and he’s reliving some of his fuzzy childhood memories. One day, he is asked to tour guide to some friends to a local shrine, and some of his memories start to trickle back. He remembers a day on a trip to that same shrine where he met a tengu girl. That night, he comes back to the temple again and finds himself in an arranged marriage situation with Hime, the tengu from his memories! But she dreams of seeing the outside world and experiencing lots of different food. Kotarou agrees she should, which Hime interprets as an offer to live in his house.
