With the end of isolation, a new wave of zombies are created, and the infestation now runs rampant. Amid the madness, a group of fighters with the mysterious power to resist the zombie mutation, the “Zom-beings,” appear. The hunt begins as they fight to restore Edo to its days before the invasion. But don’t be fooled, this won’t be an easy stroll through town; without leveling up the strength and power of the “Zom-beings” and honing your combat skills, you’ll face defeat, and Edo will be lost forever.

Set in a zombie-ravaged America, Ben and Barbra must fight their way through waves of monsters while running into other uninfected survivors along the way.

On the outskirts of the capital city stands a noble residence belonging to a prestigious family, where a newly-hired maid is about to set foot onto the property: our heroine, Applause. Having lost everything eight years prior, she swore to take revenge on those responsible. Under a false identity, she begins her search for the truth as she works at the mansion belonging to a potential target for her vengeance. What secrets will she unearth upon her chance encounters with the distinguished noblemen who protect the kingdom? What path will she choose? And so begins the revenge tragedy of a girl bound by a hapless fate.
Utakata no Uchronia [English title pending] (NSW/2025) – Welcome to the renowned and prosperous utopia, the flying city of Itehari. Our protagonist is Hinagiku, a noble lady from a distinguished family who longs for the world beyond the floating city.

Yet in true Ryukishi07 fashion, the main cast is full of quirks and flair that play off each other to quickly hook readers into their world, leaving readers laughing alongside them and sharing their dread in heated moments.
Mafia Action: Immerse yourself in the devastated underbelly of a post-war Japan held down by oppressive occupational forces. With few options even available, many seek the safety of numbers provided by organized mobs and leaders who are willing to get their hands dirty to achieve their goals. Gunfights, assassinations, and beatdowns abound as these mafia families war with each other and the occupying armies in a myriad of intrigues and plots.
Updated Graphics: This new multi-lingual release of Rose Guns Days features updated graphics that have been upscaled from the original artwork to 1280 x 960.
When the great powers that be stand against you and your brethren, who can you rely on? Who will prove themselves to truly be one of the family? How far will that family go to secure a future?
