I"S
by Katsura Masakazu
Started in #19, 1997 (14 volumes available)
Overview: Ichitaka and Iori had overcome their doubts to have
a wonderful relationship. However, with Iori cooped up in her
theater production company, and all correspondence moderated (or
purposefully lost), Ichitaka was wondering if their relationship
would survive. Just then, Ichitaka got a call from Isai, the boss of
Iori's theater company...
This Issue—Episode 138. Firm Commitment - Ichitaka
decides to make the appointment with Isai that the producer wanted in
the company of his two friends, and explains what went on that day.
Yasumasa tells Ichitaka that Isai just wanted to say he wanted to
"borrow" Iori until Christmas, but Ichitaka replies that they wanted him
to break up with her. The two friends tell Ichitaka not to give up, but
that determination starts to fade when Isai tells Ichitaka that if he
had the guts to die for Iori, he had to kill his emotions towards her so
that she could blossom as an actress. Ichitaka tries to argue, but Isai
leaves, telling him to die for Iori's sake... then in Isai's place, Iori
arrives in the room.

YU-GI-OH!
by Takahashi Kazuki
Started in #42, 1996 (17 volumes available)
Overview: When Mutou Yuugi solved the Millenium Puzzle, he
developed a second "dark" personality who excelled at gaming. Now, the
two faces of Yuugi are working together to win the latest Magic &
Wizards CCG tournament—with the ultimate
prize for them being memories of dark Yuugi from his past life.
Meanwhile, Jounouchi Katsuya was playing in the tournament for his
sister, but fell into "Insector" Haga's Parasite trap that turns
all of his beasts into bugs!
This Issue—Battle 169: Barricade - Haga
(LP:2300) laughs as Katsuya
(LP:2000) turns both his Panther Warrior
(2000 off/ 1600 def) and
Haga's Pasasite Paraside (500/300)
defensive. Haga summons a Fighter Ant (500/1200)
and kills the Panther with his Insect Queen
(3000+1200/2400). The Queen lays another
Insect Larvae (1200/def), but Katsuya smiles
and claims he found the weakness to Haga's insect combo attack. He summons
Gear Freed (1800/1600) which is all-metal
and cannot become a bug, and kills the Larvae. Haga,
LP down to 1700, takes the
offensive with the Ant and then tacks on the Ant Multiplier
magic (which turns one ant into ten) and attacks with the Queen
(3000+4400 off). Katsuya counters with a
Gravedigger trap, and pulls out Insecticide from the grave
to kill the Queen. Katsuya finishes the game by attacking the
monster-less Haga with his Gear to put Haga's
LP down to zero.

Started in #28, 1996 (19 volumes available)
Overview: Taikoubou and his entourage of sennin (wizards
of sorts) have successfully helped dethrone Chuuou (the Chu King) who
was ruining his land and his people under the control of the evil
temptress Dakki. The Houshin Project, a project to seal away Dakki and
her mastermind Joka to prevent their takeover of Earth, is slowly
nearing completion. Now, the entourage has boarded Kongrong Mountain
Mark 2, headed toward Houraitou where Dakki and
Joka await for the final showdown.
This Issue—Episode 177: Guideline of History part 6 ~
Warp Zone - Yohzen is about to leave to follow Taikoubou's group
when Kokutsurudouji appears and relays to Genshitenson that Nentoudoujin
has headed out to Houraitou. Meanwhile, on Kongrong
2, Tatsuitsushinjin tells Taikoubou that what
they see as Houraitou was just a large barrier; but the
Tsuutenshuhou cannon was no match for the barrier. Just then,
Shinkouhyou arrives at the scene, and a full-strength whip of the
Raikouben breaks through the barrier to expose a wormhole. The
group enters the wormhole, and on the other side is a beautiful
land...in the middle of space!?
