A strange dimension overlaps with our reality, sending magical creatures and bloodthirsty spellcasters against the Earth's protectors. As the newest member in Hana's group, awkward high schooler Chikahito Takamoto is looked upon with puzzlement and suspicion by his older teammates. They don't know how he can be immune to their powers, or if Chikahito has any latent powers of his own. Finding himself in the middle of this mystical war, Chikahito tries to make sense of his quirky, moody allies and his own feelings for Hana-a strong, short, and awfully cute warrior!

An innocent sightseeing trip to Kyoto opens up a magical realm to shy high schooler Chikahito Takamoto! Visiting a legendary shrine, Chikahito finds himself in the mystical world of Hana and her comrades--and his immunity to their powers leads them to believe that he's no ordinary, awkward teenager! Protecting our world from violent elemental beasts, Hana and her team welcomes the confused Chikahito--who isn't quite sure that he wants to be caught in the middle of their war! One's thing's certain, though, since he's smitten with aloof, childlike warrior Hana, he's along for the ride, for better or worse! * Coming to the US just months after Japan! * Gate 7 Vol. 1 is the first of a multivolume series. * Urban fantasy in the vein of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Potter.

Face the thing that should not be! At last, Shinji, Rei and Asuka are being trained for actual combat, gats in hand-stalking a giant gelatinous creature with a spherical 'core' they must take out. If this kind of mission sounds strangely familiar, you're right-but if things go as usual, it's poor Shinji who'll get called the slimeball! Each volume contains your fan art, letters, and special import-only giveaways!
