1 Dai Dark
Dai Dark (Japanese: 大ダーク, Hepburn: Dai Dāku, lit. “Big Dark”) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Q Hayashida. It has been serialized in Shogakukan’s Monthly Shōnen Sunday magazine since March 2019, with its chapters collected into four tankōbon volumes as of November 2021. The manga is licensed for English release in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment.
Description:
Zaha Sanko’s body has great and terrible powers–they say that possessing his bones will grant you any wish, even the desire to become ruler of the universe. But Sanko is still a teenage dude with his own life, and he isn’t about to let every monstrous lowlife in the galaxy rip him limb from limb. He and his skeletal buddy Avakian will use their dark powers to fend off any murder attempts while they search space for whoever put this curse on Sanko’s bone because killing them might end the madness. And then Sanko can celebrate with his favorite spaghetti.
If you like Hayashida Q’s previous work you will likely enjoy Dai Dark. Imagine the same kind of unique macabre atmosphere of Dorohedoro but in a sci fi future setting instead that sort of feels influenced by Blame’s mangaka Tsutomu Nihei a little, but has the unique lighthearted charm that Hayashida’s writing and style are known for.
2 Summertime Rendering
There is a spin-off of Summer Time Rendering manga called “Summertime Rendering 2026: The Room that Dreams of Murder”.
Synopsis:
The novelist Ryunosuke Nagumo is apartment hunting with her niece, who’s been accepted into Tokyo University. They happen upon a large aparment for cheap—except, it’s haunted! A suspenseful spin-off set in the future of Summertime Rendering.

3.4 Paradox Simulation: Exusiai
This operation is straightforward: you use Exusiai S3 (mine is S3M2) to clear waves of enemy and drone. Keep an eye out for Arts Guards; you’ll need to use the Elysium skill to weaken and slow them down so Exusiai can clear them faster.
This stage’s “boss” is a single Winterwisp Blood Magister. To begin, activate the Elysium skill when the magister approaches to allow Exusiai to land some hits, then use the stun bomb obtained from Sponsor Drone just before Gummy. Exusiai S3 should be triggered and kill the magister; however, Exusiai may be defeated by the explosion blast, but the mission is still completed.
3.5 Paradox Simulation: Midnight
This mission is also very simple; position your squad as shown below, activate Midnight skill twice, the first time when Light-Armored Soldiers show up, and the second time when the “boss” appears (a Heavy Defender).
