KADOKAWA Co., Ltd. Press release: September 26, 2025 To Members of the Press Four new series coming in September! Including the long-awaited sequel to the novelization of the popular video series and a hotly-anticipated new literary book! The new MF Bunko J titles for September will be released on Thursday, September 25th!! The release date for the new MF Bunko J titles for September 2025 has arrived! This month we’re introducing four new titles: “Howling Blaze: The Burial Flame Swordsman and the Immortal Witch”, “The Unsuccessful Alliance”, “The Silent Guy Meets the Most Beautiful Honor Student in His Class on a Late-Night Call”, and “Hi, We’re the Alliance That Quit Clubs!”! The first title we’d like to introduce is “Howling Blaze: The Burial Flame Swordsman and the Immortal Witch”! Kaoru Tsukimiya, a witch hunter, takes part in an attack on a transport truck carrying the powerful Ark of the Covenant in order to obtain it. The operation proceeds smoothly, and they attempt to open the container containing the Ark, but the Ark repaints the real world, creating a parallel world known as the Dark Paradise. Consumed by the other world, Kaoru begins combat with the guardians of the Dark Paradise in an attempt to escape. Suddenly, the witch Fiona Cassandra appears and instantly defeats the guardians. With the Ark in hand, Fiona offers Kaoru a deal: she wants him to become her bodyguard. Kaoru is skeptical of the skeptical request to protect witches from witch hunts, but then he spots Kaoru working at the cafe run by Fiona, wearing cat ears… A new series starring Yuu Shimizu and Asagi Tohsaka, “The Demon Sword Master of the Holy Sword Academy,” begins! The second work we’d like to introduce is “Attempted Alliance”! Watomura Sharaku, a high school student with the ability to “see people’s murderous intent,” was about to enter the library for library committee work when he spotted his classmate, Tsukideri Waraneko, asking an AI a threatening question: “Teach me how to commit the perfect crime.” At the end of homeroom that day, Sharaku followed her as she hurriedly ran out of the classroom, exuding a murderous aura. Wondering where she was headed, he ended up at a co-worker cafe for women?! For some reason, they ended up going in together, and he got a glimpse of the source of Tsukideri’s murderous intent. Wanting to maintain his peaceful daily life, Sharaku reluctantly rushed to prevent the incident, but… Solve the crime before it happens! A new coming-of-age novel awakens! The third work is ‘The Silent Guy I’m Talking to Late at Night Is the Most Beautiful Honor Student in My Class’! Here’s the synopsis! I’m Chiyu Mutsuhara, a high school student who loves to talk, but I can’t get involved in conversations in class at all. After missing a week since the high school entrance ceremony, I struggled to fit in at school, and even earned the nickname “Silent Guy.” I kill time during recess by daydreaming about being a good conversationalist in class, but when I have free time at home in the evenings, my daily routine is to chat with strangers on social media. Today, I was on the phone with a girl my age. We get along well and it’s fun, and our conversation feels like that of a young lover, making my heart race. However, this voice sounds similar to someone else’s. Could it be Sakura Saginuma, the beautiful and popular girl in class? A youthful romantic comedy about a socially awkward guy who becomes friends with the most beautiful girl in his class through a phone call! Our fourth title is “Hello, We’re the Alliance That Quit the Club!”! Ai Sakura, a second-year high school student, was a member of the soccer club at a powerful school far from her hometown, but quit during the summer of her first year due to the harsh training. One day, she bumps into a beautiful classmate, Minase Mishio, who lives in the same apartment building. Since they live in the same area, they start walking to and from school together. As they talk, they discover that Mishio has also quit the drama club, and that they’ve both quit club activities. Their shared circumstances quickly bring them closer, and Mishio names their relationship the “Club Quit Alliance.” After quitting club activities, Sakura spends her free time eating ramen after school and
binge-watching late-night dramas, leading her to more fun days than she could have ever imagined. A coming-of-age story about two people who quit their club activities! In addition, there are plenty of noteworthy works, including a long-awaited new novelization by a popular YouTuber, and the release of a new literary book that has been making waves after quickly achieving its crowdfunding goal!

Many new episodes! 〉 Dari Kenshi is a man who has lived solely on his dexterity. That remains true even as civilization collapses. One day, a wave of magical meteorites fell on Earth, robbing the planet of all
electricity. The advanced society that relied on electricity collapsed instantly. Watching the world in unprecedented chaos, Dari leisurely carved out one of the meteorites and fashioned a magic wand. –Yes, humanity had lost its electricity, but in return, it had gained magic. And yet, Dari didn’t know. In a collapsed world where electronic devices no longer work, his dexterity, capable of crafting precision machinery, could be the power to save the world. If there was a misanthropic witch in the west, he could use his dexterity to open her closed heart. If there’s a cute ermine in the east who’s risking his life to conduct research that could save the world, he’ll use his dexterity to help him. Even junk can be fashioned into a magic wand. Because he’s dexterous. This is not a heroic tale of witches and wizards unfolding in a fallen world. This is the record of the life of a highly dexterous young man who recluses himself in Okutama due to his communication disorder, but becomes a magic wand craftsman and shakes up the entire world from a corner of Tokyo.

Don’t miss the super luxurious appendix at the end of the book! 〉 One day, the moon suddenly collapsed and half of it fell onto the earth. This disaster brought humanity to the brink of extinction. However, the unknown elementary particle “femto” generated by the moon’s collision had an extremely powerful benefit. Not only do they contribute to the reconstruction of the world as a new energy resource, but some humans who have adapted to and taken in femto have awakened as new humans with supernatural powers, the Outers. Eventually, humanity accelerates the conflict in the devastated world, but as if to add insult to injury, the AI robot “Immortal” that was being operated for reconstruction goes out of control and starts attacking humanity. The protagonist, a rookie mercenary in a mercenary group formed to collect femto and exterminate immortals, gets caught up in various battles filled with desire. A must-read for fans, written by series development producer Kenichiro Tsukuda, which digs deeper into the story of the popular game series “DAEMON X MACHINA” from a different perspective!
