- Story about a young man, Shinnosuke Arisu, attending a school that specializes in teaching the students to kill girls infected with the 'labyrinth disease'. He is attending this school to earn money, fame, and power, but his main goal is to save his sister, who is infected with the disease as well. The labyrinths summoned by the infected girls are categorized by ranks from 0 to 666, the highest being labeled as Apocalypse Alice based on the family name of the diseased girl, Saki Arisu, Shinnosuke's younger sister. The people who enter these labyrinths use specialized magic gear and form up in groups to kill the infected girls with less casualties than expected, but sometimes it ends up causing more deaths than need be.
- Although this is a more recent production by Takaya Kagami, the story still holds on par with his other creations.

- When Amethyst comes across her perfect dream house, she cannot help but be enchanted by it, even if there is something a little off about the place. It is everything she has ever wanted in a home, so when the Blooms invite her to stay the night to avoid the impending storm, she instantly accepts. Yet when she awakes the next morning, alone and unable to bring herself to leave, Amethyst comes face-to-face with unexpected twists and turns—like Alfred, the creepy gardener; Avery, the handsome but secretive neighbor; and a little girl who keeps appearing and vanishing within the house. As Amethyst searches for the Blooms and tries to unravel the truth, her connection to the house only grows stronger. Will she be able to break free of the house's allure, or will its secrets keep her trapped forever?)

  • "The Drug Problem in America" (note the capitalization and quotation marks) - one of several titles used for an anonymously written commentary using drug abuse as an analogy for another meaning of "drug": the past participle of "drag" meaning. The commentary itself advocates values such as respect for authority and elders, hard work without expectations of being rewarded, and doing acts of kindness. The "drug" term is used to tell how the narrator's parents instilled said values in him by literally dragging him to various events (e.g., "I was drug to church on Sunday morning ... ") and dragging him to the woodshed when he did wrong.
- A good article on this statement would attempt to trace its origins and explain the rationale behind the poem, plus explain its use in popular culture — for instance, the Bellamy Brothers once recorded a song called "Drug Problem," based on this commentary.
